A man has slammed a city centre restaurant’s ‘discriminatory’ booking system after it required his party to be all female or a mixed group.
Nick, who did not wish to give his full name, claims he enquired about a 14-person booking at FireFly for a meal in July. The 26-year-old had dined at the One New Bailey restaurant previously and wanted to see if there was any availability for his birthday celebrations.
But to his surprise, he alleges he received an automated booking policy email back – stating groups over six ‘must be all female or a mixed group’. Nick, who was booking a party of just men, has labelled the policy ‘blatant sexism’ and has vowed to never return to the restaurant.
