RACIAL abuse was hurled at family in a seafront bar sparking large groups of customers to walk out in disgust.

Witnesses watched in horror as the family were “shamed” by another customer in View Bar, on Clifftown Parade, Southend, on bank holiday Monday.

Rating the bar on TripAdvisor, the victim of the attack has slammed management of the bar for “doing nothing”.

Furious customers echoed the complaint, however, the owners of the bar have insisted they barred the customers who hurled the abuse at the family and that the group will no longer be served.

One witness, who asked not to be named said: “On Monday a lovely family were shamed out of a bar by two men who shouted over to the family “they’ve just got off a plane in Southend from Bangladesh”.

“The bar stuff did nothing but hush the two men and did not apologise to the family for their outrageous remarks.

“The family and many other customers got up and left because of the rude language as there were many children present.”

The victims took to TripAdvisor to leave a scathing review.

The victim said: “I was subjected to unprovoked racial abuse at this restaurant by another customer.

“I immediately told a manager who did absolutely nothing.

“The nasty bully and perpetrator was clearly well known to the bar and continued to constantly make comments about ‘going back to my own country’.

“My young children and family were there and I was in tears.

“The manager continued to do nothing and said he didn’t want any trouble. Shame on the management for being a coward and not asking the man to leave.”

Owner of View Bar, Arjan Dani insisted the punter had never been to the bar previously.

He said: “I wasn’t there when it happened but when I came back from the shop I went over to the guy and said why are you doing this.

“He then swore at me. I’ve never seen him before. I did tell him to leave and I told him he was barred.

“I’ve apologised to the family. I spoke to a family friend and told them they can come back for a free lunch or dinner.

“We don’t tolerate racism.”
