Woman turned away from pub for wearing Union Flag dress says: 'I'm a grandma'

A woman who was wearing a Union Jack dress and refused entry to a pub said she 'won't be going back' - despite being a regular for nearly 30 years. Tanya Ostolski, 54, claims she was turned away from the Wetherspoon's boozer due to her outfit. The events followed an anti-illegal immigration protest that took place in Nottingham town centre on Friday, July 25 which Tanya attended. READ MORE: Americans baffled by Ireland's beloved chicken fillet roll and Cork's flag during visit READ MORE: Galway Races dress code, bag policy and 'banned' items The protest was sparked after Reform MP Lee Anderson made an unverified claim that a local man who was charged with rape was an asylum seeker. After marching in the protest, Tanya made her way to the local Wetherspoon - The Picture House - but was denied entry due to her dress, despite putting away the flag she was carrying, she says. The decision caused anger amongst some protesters who clashed with bouncers on Friday evening as they were also denied entry, they said.

Tanya said: 'I'm disgusted. I won't be going back there. I go in there all the time, and I wasn't causing any trouble. The whole day was a peaceful protest. 'I'm a grandma and I've never caused any bother. I just can't believe this was all over a flag - it was really upsetting. I didn't do anything wrong." According to Tanya, she was first refused entry because she was carrying a St George's cross flag. But after putting the flag away, Tanya said she was still turned away from the pub. She claimed witnesses had defended her – calling the bouncers actions 'unfair' as she wasn't 'causing any trouble'. Tanya said: 'I had the flag tied around my waist. He said I couldn't come in and asked me to put the flag away. But I had flags all over my dress and then I was told I can't come in at all. 'I was really confused – it's just a flag. I asked for a valid reason. They just kept saying, 'you're not coming in'. I'm not aggressive and didn't want to cause trouble, so I just walked away. People came up to me and said it was really unfair. I've heard I won't be welcome back or I might be barred." JD Wetherspoons has a 'no flag' policy which was prohibits the pubs from hanging the England flag – which had backlash from pubgoers during the 2018 football world cup. But during the men's Euro 2024, the popular chain overturned it's policy and allowed the pubs to hang the England flag during the summer tournament. According to Nottinghamshire Live, Wetherspoon spokesman Eddie Gershon commented in response to the incident in Sutton-in-Ashfield. He said: "Pub managers have a duty under the licensing laws, and as a matter of common sense, to judge every situation on its particular circumstances. 'In this case, the pub manager felt that it was important not to increase tensions. Therefore, on this occasion the manager asked customers not to enter with flags or any placards."
