A man has hit out at what he described as a restaurant’s ‘discriminatory’ booking system after it insisted his party be "all female or a mixed group". The potential customer had enquired about making a booking for 14 people at the FireFly in Manchester for a birthday celebration.
But Nick, 26, who did not want to give his full name, claims he received an automated booking policy email back which said his group could not be all male. Nick, who was booking a party of just men, has labelled the policy ‘blatant sexism’ and has vowed to never return to the restaurant at One New Bailey.
Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, he said: “As a gay man I have lots of gay friends who I go out with for big birthday celebrations. Parties of six having to be just female or mixed is blatant sexism to me.
