KFC Family Feast Update

Kentucky Fried Chicken has accepted defeat in a row over a remote country pub's Family Feast menu.

Lawyers had written to the Tan Hill Inn near Richmond, North Yorks, after it used the same name for its Christmas dinner as KFC does for a bucket of chicken and chips.

But the company has now assured landlady Tracy Daly it will drop its legal copyright battle to stop her using the name.

Tracy said: "Common sense has prevailed and I'm very relieved and ecstatic. I'm not going to need my boxing gloves any more.

"I've invited KFC to come here, have a meal and shake hands."

A spokesman for the company said: "Ms Daly can continue to use the phrase Family Feast. It's an unusual situation that's been blown out of all proportion."
Ananova:

You should have thought of that before sending threatening letters, KFC. The damage has been done! We're all going to the Tan Hill Inn now for our family feast. YUM YUM.
