From
BBC News:
A venue called The Ritz in Northamptonshire has been told to change its name or face legal action by the owners of the famous London hotel.
The wedding and conference venue in Desborough has used the name since the 1930s, but it has now been given until the new year to alter it.
The Ritz hotel has asked for a name-change agreement to be signed.
Desborough Ritz owner Kris Malde said he thought their email was "a joke". The Ritz in London declined to comment.
The Desborough Ritz may have traded from the 1930s, but the London Ritz was opened in 1906 by Cesar Ritz ("the cracker magnate", as
Lord Bonkers describes him).

Well they better send some more pathetic emails as I'm sure there is more than one Ritz. Maybe they;ll be suing ritz crackers next or maybe they are just crackers!!
The Ritz at Desborough has recently been refurbished and is available to hire for private functions.
The new owner has done well to generate free publicity from the BBC.
