Overview

• Georgia Toomey, 23, was asked by staff at The Tollemache Inn in Grantham to zip up her sports bra under Wetherspoon’s family-friendly dress code after a gym session.
• She and her boyfriend moved to the beer garden; they left when the same employee repeatedly checked her attire, leaving them uncomfortable.
• Wetherspoon head office initially emailed that she had been refused service and asked to leave, a claim the chain later retracted.
• Spokesman Eddie Gershon confirmed the customer was never turned away; she remains welcome to return under a policy that leaves sportswear enforcement to managers’ discretion.
• The incident has reignited debate online over consistent dress code application, fairness and corporate accountability in public venues.
