Guests included David and Victoria Beckham, plus Class of 92 pals Paul Scholes and Gary Neville. A source said: “There was blood everywhere. People were shocked.”. The clash followed an afternoon of drinking after 30 people moved on from the private dining room to a bar area at Soho Farmhouse near Great Tew, Oxfordshire.
Trouble is said to have flared between 7pm and 8pm after a man left the bar to go outside. The security guard is said to have spotted the man relieving himself against a courtyard wall. He approached the man and remonstrated with him. It is alleged the man then snapped in a drunken fury and head-butted the guard.

Police said they received a report of the alleged assault at 9.15pm, around two hours after it happened and as the extent of the guard’s injuries became known. Officers then turned up at the members-only club which also offers £800-a-night cabins. A source said: “The guard went to have a word with the guy causing offence and was then head-butted in the face.
