Moment Tommy Robinson is ‘kicked out of restaurant’ because staff ‘don’t feel comfortable serving him’
THIS is the moment Tommy Robinson appears to be kicked out of a steak restaurant because staff “felt uncomfortable serving him”.
Footage shows the far-Right activist – real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – having lunch with a group at the Hawksmoor Air Street restaurant in London.
But he, and his party, were allegedly kicked out of the Art Deco eatery half way through their meal.
Once-prominent member of the EDL Guramit Singh Kalirai was also present and claimed they got the boot for “no reason”.
He tweeted: “Just been kicked out of Hawksmoor steak house for no reason. Literally juts had our starters.”
A video alongside the post showed Robinson’s posse interacting with what appeared to be the manager of the establishment.
He can be heard saying “members of staff feel uncomfortable serving you”.
Mr Kalirai replies “is it because of the colour of my skin?”.
The supervisor explains “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.”
He presents a business card for the CEO of Hawksmoor and advises Robinson to contact the email address “if he has any questions”.
The manager adds “don’t worry about the drinks” saying the steak house, which overlooks Regent Street, will cover them.
He concludes “I’m very sorry. I hope it hasn’t inconvenienced you.”
The 47-second clip then cuts to Mr Kalirai who rants “have you seen that? We’ve just been kicked out of the steak house.
“Been sat here for a f***ing hour. We are sat here with the celebrities.”
The footage ends with Robinson looking at the card and typing on his mobile phone.
The Sun has approached Hawksmoor for comment.
It comes hours after Robinson pleaded not guilty to harassing two journalists.
Robinson arrived at Westminster Magistrates’ Court today surrounded by supporters.
The 42-year-old denied two counts of harassment causing fear of violence between August 5 and 7, 2024.
He allegedly harassed the two reporters causing them to “fear violence would be used against them”.
The court heard he shared multiple posts about the men on X, formerly Twitter, and in calls.
Robinson elected to have his trial at Southwark Crown Court and will appear for a hearing on July 3.
He was bailed on the condition he does not contact any prosecution witness directly or indirectly and must not post anything online which would identify them.
The third condition stated he is “not to publish any comment relating to current proceedings that may prejudice either parties to proceedings or proceedings themselves other than those permitted by the Crime and Disorder Act.”
A Crown Prosecution Service spokesperson earlier said: “We have authorised the Metropolitan Police to charge Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, 42, with harassment causing fear of violence against two men.
“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against the defendant are active and that he has the right to a fair trial.”
