While Madonna's away, it appears that Guy Ritchie is keen to make the most of his free time.

But does his famous pop star wife know that he's taking the children with him, as he relaxes down the pub?

Guy was seen leaving the Punchbowl pub in London's Mayfair with sons Rocco, and David, who was carried by a nanny as they left at around 10pm.

Madonna and Guy reportedly own 20 per cent of the traditional Mayfair pub

While wife Madonna has been bumping and grinding onstage in Berlin, Ritchie has been popping into the pub on a nightly basis, with one or more of the children in tow.

But as Ritchie and Madonna actually co-own the pub, it's hardly cause for concern.

However, she may be a little perturbed at the late hour her sons have been keeping, as just the day before, Guy was seen leaving the pub with Rocco at after 11pm on Wednesday night.

But with Ritchie in the driving seat it's more likely that the film director decided to pop in and see how things were going at the Mayfair pub and restaurant.

The Ritchies bought the 18th century pub in February from their friend Greg Foreman, the son of gangster Freddie Foreman.

It is a stone's throw from the couple's home in Mayfair and is frequented by stars such as Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Barbra Streisand. 

Ritchie and Madonna are said to be regulars at the pub in which Ritchie is understood to have a 20 per cent stake.

Meanwhile Guy denied that he and Madonna, who is currently playing to packed houses on her 'Sweet and Sticky' tour, are planning to renew their wedding vows.

He told The Mirror: 'We won't be renewing our vows. I think once was enough. And I've just paid out on a big party for her birthday.'

The director whose new film RocknRolla will soon be released admitted that being married to a world famous pop star can be an issue in his professional life.

He said: 'The Madonna factor just seems to get in the way I'm afraid. There wasn't a place for the wife in the movie.

'Swept Away was supposed to be for a smaller market but you can't do really small things with the missus, so I was naive in that respect.'
