A woman was left "mortified and embarrassed" by the "diabolical" decision of hotel staff not to let her husband into the restaurant during the Coronation weekend.
Samuel Beckett was turned away from the eatery inside the Lifehouse Spa and Hotel near the Essex coastal town of Frinton-on-Sea, his partner Samantha Hyde told MailOnline.
She claims that the restaurant manager told them Samuel's shoes were inappropriate, adding that the restaurant was mostly empty.
