‘Dumb mistake’: Mayfair club Annabel’s gave managers bonus from staff service charge

Annabel’s, a Mayfair private members club owned by Richard Caring, admitted to a 'dumb mistake' after using over £70,000 of staff service charge money to pay manager bonuses, sparking staff revolt. The club has since announced policy changes. The venue, known for hosting celebrities like Kate Moss and Harry Styles, reportedly sees tables spending over £10,000 per evening.
