Landlord’s community service after wife attack
A WINCHESTER pub landlord who admitted attacking his wife has been ordered to carry out 180 hours’ community service.
Rob Plunton, 25, formerly managing tenant at The Ship Inn, in Wales Street, pleaded guilty to assault by beating of Hannah Plunton on July 4.
Plunton, listed as living c/o Woodgreen Road, Harestock, Winchester, lost his job and his home as a result of the attack.
Magistrates at Basingstoke also ordered Plunton pay a £60 victim surcharge and £80 costs.
The Pluntons took over The Ship last summer. After the incident it closed but has since reopened under new management.
They married in St Peter’s Catholic Church in Winchester, with reality TV star Yousseph “Chico” Slimani, as their best man.
