Wimbledon printing gaff forces brasserie to sell wines for HALF price
It wasn't an ace or a tie-break that had Wimbledon diners celebrating this week - it was a printing error that has briefly turned one of the Championships' smartest restaurants into the best-value wine bar in SW19.
A printing error at the Centenary Brasserie, overlooking Court 11, has seen two large 250ml glasses of white wine listed at less than half their intended price, with the All England Club continuing to honour the mistaken prices today while new menus are printed.
Among the bargains is a 250ml glass of Piquepoul/Terret Blanc, Les Caves Richemer, France, which has been listed at £6.95 instead of its correct price of £15.95.
The same pricing error also affected a 250ml glass of Thirsty Birds Chardonnay, England, with diners also able to order it for the incorrectly printed bargain price.
One customer, who dined at the Centenary Brasserie, described the confusion after spotting the discrepancy on their bill.
'They tried to charge us £15.95 for the wine. I told them it was listed at £6.95.
'They removed it off the bill after taking ages. Then the waitress said it had been an issue all day with the menu, which also didn't even have the starters listed.'
As one member of staff confirmed: 'The prices should be around £14 for a big glass but it takes too much time to explain to people [why there is a different price].'
They added: 'We think we're getting new menus tomorrow.'

Michelle Dite, head of Operations at Wimbledon defended the error to the Daily Mail: 'Every day there's a couple of little things, marginal gains overnight to fix bits and pieces for the next day.'
She continued: 'We have lot of menus around the place, and we pride ourselves on detail, but you know we've got hundreds of chefs, hundreds of restaurants, we've got multiple outlets, so there's always some little things that [are missed]. But I'm sure it'll be fixed for today.'
Staff have continued serving the wines at the printed price while they wait for replacement menus to arrive.
The Centenary, one of the All England Club's most sought-after dining venues, offers a relaxed brasserie downstairs and a more premium restaurant upstairs serving British-inspired small plates, with diners enjoying views close to the outside courts.
The accidental discount provided a rare piece of good news for spectators facing another year of eye-watering food and drink prices at the Championships.
A glass of Pimm's now costs £13.45, up £1.20 on last year, while the iconic strawberries and cream have risen to £2.85. Buying the two together now costs £16.30 for the first time.
Beer drinkers are also paying premium Centre Court prices.
A pint of draught Stella Artois is £8.95, while Camden Eazy IPA and Camden Pale are £8.90 a pint. Kopparberg cider is also £8.90, alcohol-free Stella costs £8.30 a pint and a gluten-free bottled alternative is £7.90.
Those looking to celebrate in style can expect to pay well into three figures for some bottles of Champagne, although spectators can at least take advantage of free water refill stations if they bring a reusable bottle.
Rep. Tom Kean returns to Congress after four months, citing treatment for depression
Rep. Kean announces he was treated for depression during four-month absence05:14June 30, 2026, 11:49 AM EDT / Updated June 30, 2026, 12:47 PM EDTBy Sahil Kapur, Kyle Stewart and Ryan J. KarlinWASHINGTON — Rep. Tom Kean, R-N.J., made his return to the Capitol on Tuesday, saying he was treated for depression during a nearly four-month disappearance from the public eye.
It was Kean’s first time in the House of Representatives since March 5, having missed more than 140 votes in the chamber since then.
“Several months ago, due to health concerns, I entered the hospital for some testing. I did not believe that this would result in a long-term stay. I was given the diagnosis of depression,” Kean said in a speech on the House floor.
He said his doctors “recommended that I remain in the hospital to address my illness” and added that depression means more than “feeling sad” — “it is physical, it is emotional, and until you experience it yourself, it is difficult to fully understand how powerful this illness can be.”
“Today, I am grateful that I listened to my doctors,” Kean said. “And I’m grateful for the exceptional care that I received from doctors, nurses and support staff. I am grateful that I accepted help. Because today, I stand before you healthier, stronger and excited to return to the work that I love.”
Kean ignored questions from reporters as he walked into the Capitol. He did not discuss his remarks further after this speech, instead getting into a car and leaving.
Kean’s unusual absence brought a national spotlight to the two-term congressman, especially because he represents a swing district that’s expected to be highly competitive this fall and shape the balance of power in the House. His congressional office did not provide information about his whereabouts, and colleagues told reporters they hadn’t heard from him. Meanwhile, media outlets flocked to his district to speak to neighbors and knock on his door.
Kean, 57, was first elected in 2022. He was unopposed in his June 3 primary for renomination to a third term and will face Democrat Rebecca Bennett, a former Navy helicopter pilot, in November.
Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., predicted Tuesday morning: “I think Tom gets re-elected easily this fall.”
Bennett, Kean’s Democratic opponent, said in her own statement that she is “relieved that Congressman Tom Kean Jr. is well and continue to wish him good health. But let’s be clear: I got into this race because Tom Kean Jr. was failing our community long before this absence.”

Ole Miss Transfer Portal Spotlight: LB Keaton Thomas
The Ole Miss Rebels added a veteran presence at linebacker during the offseason.Tanner Shapiro|
In this story:
Ole Miss RebelsThe Ole Miss Rebels had a strong linebacker room during their historic 2025 season, led by Suntarine Perkins, who returns for the 2026 campaign and T.J. Dottery, who transferred to LSU following former Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin to Baton Rouge.
Perkins is the leader of the defense, as he recorded 41 solo tackles, 4.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, and one interception during the 2025 season. Perkins was a key factor in Ole Miss' victory over Georgia in the College Football Playoff, as his strip sack provided the Rebels with crucial momentum during a pivotal moment of the game.
New head coach Pete Golding added linebacker Keaton Thomas from Baylor, a player who adds veteran experience and an extremely hard hitting presence to the Rebels' 2026 roster.
Thomas Brings Much Needed Experience
The Rebels will rely on the experience of Thomas and Perkins in 2026, as they navigate a new nine game SEC schedule. The duo of Thomas and Perkins could potentially be one of the best linebacker duos in the SEC, and maybe even in the country.
Thomas put up impressive numbers in 2025, as he recorded 62 solo tackles, one sack, and one interception. In 2024, Thomas recorded 62 solo tackles, 2.5 sacks, and one interception, while also scoring a touchdown against TCU on a scoop and score.
Golding and his staff may have found the perfect linebacker to replace the production of T.J. Dottery. The Jacksonville, Fl., native has big shoes to fill, as the Rebels have had many stout linebackers over the past four seasons.
Thomas has strong attributes, including very good speed for a linebacker and impressive hands for the position. Expect Thomas to be a huge contributor to the defense.
Ole Miss Building an Elite Linebacker Room for 2026
Not only did Pete Golding go out and get Keaton Thomas, but he also added transfer linebacker Luke Ferrelli, who will help round out the defense and maintain the style of play Golding wants heading into a new and important 2026 season.
The Rebels will also have a different defensive identity in the secondary, as they added several new faces at defensive back. If the Rebels’ defensive back room lives up to the hype, the linebacking group should be able to thrive in 2026.
Ole Miss was not very good against the run last season, as the Rebels allowed 4.1 yards per carry to opposing rushers during the 2025 season. The Rebels will look to rely on Keaton Thomas to help address that issue.
