However, the café have denied the claims, saying they were busy and had another booking, even though Barry stated that they were the only customers.
Writing a response on Twitter, the venue said they had no problem with his attire, and were booked out.
Just to clear! We were booked out from 12! That is why we didn’t have a table. Nothing to do with what a person wears. We are a casual restaurant. People wear all sorts.

The conversation was so you have a table ? Sarka replied no we are fully booked but we have one at 2pm. He asked was it because you’re wearing a tracksuit and Sarka replied no it’s because we are full. This is the last thing I will say about it.

But Barry quickly hit back again, saying the eatery were just trying to cover their tracks.
There trying to cover there tracks. Pretentious, snobbery & judgemental. There tone & manor towards me was way out. Me, I am all for supporting local – I try represent my local even abroad. but this place I wouldn’t recommend. And to clarify I walked in about 11:20am! Ignorant! https://t.co/jeFQE5Yfva
