Tommy Robinson kicked out of London restaurant because ‘staff didn’t want to serve him’

Tommy Robinson is upset after being kicked out of a restaurant for making staff ‘feel uncomfortable’.

The right wing activist – real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – was out eating at the Hawksmoor restaurant near Regent Street, central London, before staff realised who he was.

Footage taken by EDL member Guramit Singh Kalirai, who was dining with Robinson, shows the restaurant manager explaining ‘staff felt uncomfortable’.

Kalirai replied: ‘Is it because of the colour of my skin?’

The manager responded: ‘No, no, no. We have a duty of care to our members of staff. We like to look after our people, as I’m sure you can understand.

‘I’m very sorry. I hope it hasn’t inconvenienced you.’

The footage was posted to X, with Kalirai saying: ‘Just been kicked out of Hawksmoor steak house for no reason. Literally just had our starters.’

The manager could be seen handing Robinson a business card with the CEO of Hawksmoor’s details on it ‘if he has any questions’, and told him the restaurant will cover the cost of the drinks.

But he had his sentence reduced, and was released from HMP Woodhill in Milton Keynes.
