Wetherspoon door staff sacked and police investigating after fight outside Nottingham pub

Wetherspoon say they are aware of an incident which appears to show their door staff fighting with people in Nottingham city centre. The alleged assault took place on Saturday, May 21 outside Lloyds No1 Bar in Carlton Street, Nottingham, just after 10pm.

The video appears to show door staff fighting outside the entrance of the pub, with one woman appearing to be knocked to the ground. The company, which runs pubs across Nottinghamshire and the rest of the UK, says it is assisting police with their enquiries into what happened and that those involved have been "removed" of their duties at the pub. They will not be allowed to work at Wetherspoon pubs in the future.

A spokesman for Wetherspoon said: “Wetherspoon is aware of an incident which took place on the night of Saturday 21st May. We are assisting the police with their enquiries into allegations of assault made against two door supervisors.
