Greene King Backs Manager After England-Flag Row at Birmingham Pub as Boycott Calls Grow

The chain says protest materials are not allowed in its pubs to keep sites out of demonstrations.

Overview

  • Video shows a group draped in St George’s flags refused entry at Manor Farm in Castle Bromwich after staff asked them to remove flags before coming in.
  • The female manager was filmed being verbally abused as she reiterated the group would be served if flags were left at the door.
  • Greene King said managers may refuse entry and confirmed football kits are permitted while items linked to political protests are not.
  • An unnamed employee told the Daily Mail the men had come from a nearby anti-asylum protest and many were already drunk, a claim not independently verified by other outlets.
  • The footage triggered online backlash including one-star reviews and calls for a boycott, and a separate Manor Farm in Hull publicly clarified it was not involved.
