Hundreds of protesters gathered outside an Indian restaurant in west London and called for the venue to shut down – because of the owner’s refusal to sell halal food.
Singh’s Dining, formerly known as Rangrez, in Hammersmith, attracted a large crowd outside its doors on Friday night, prompting Met Police officers to line up and keep the protesters at bay.
Behind them stood private security guards reportedly hired by Fawlty Towers actor John Cleese, who has previously spoken out in support of the restaurant.
The eatery has a sign daubed in marker on its shop front, reading: ‘Proudly we don’t sell halal.’
