Ok appeal sent. Fingers crossed.
Can I contact the pub? To see if they can cancel it?

This is an entirely unregulated industry which is scamming the public with inflated claims for minor breaches of alleged contracts for alleged parking offences, aided and abetted by a handful of low-rent solicitors.

Parking Eye, CPM, Smart, and others have already been named and shamed in the House of Commons as have Gladstones Solicitors, and BW Legal, (these two law firms take hundreds of these cases to court each week, hospital car parks and residential complex tickets have been especially mentioned. They lose most of them, and have been reported to the regulatory authority by an M.P. for unprofessional conduct

The problem has become so widespread that MPs have agreed to enact a Bill to regulate these scammers. It has even been suggested that some of these companies have links with organised crime.

Watch the video of the Second Reading and committee stage in the House of Commons recently. MPs have a very low opinion of this industry.

and complain in the most robust terms to your MP. With a fair wind they will be out of business by in the not too distant future..

Absolutely! Find an email address for the manager. Write a firm complaint, tempered with your appreciation of the pub. Avoid disclosing the driver (go for 'we' this, 'we' that) but outline the situation in detail, may be as well to include how much was spent.

You were not informed of the important fact that the vehicle's VRN had to be entered once in the premises. You were quite understandably focusing on enjoying your visit. Try to show that you fully expect compliance with your very reasonable request for them to get the PCN cancelled. Upbeat but disgusted and assertive! The pub's management can comply very easily.
