But he, and his party, were allegedly kicked out of the Art Deco eatery half way through their meal.
Once-prominent member of the EDL Guramit Singh Kalirai was also present and claimed they got the boot for "no reason".
He tweeted: "Just been kicked out of Hawksmoor steak house for no reason. Literally juts had our starters."
A video alongside the post showed Robinson's posse interacting with what appeared to be the manager of the establishment.

He can be heard saying "members of staff feel uncomfortable serving you".
Mr Kalirai replies "is it because of the colour of my skin?".
The supervisor explains "No, no, no. We have a duty of care to our members of staff.
"We like to look after our people as I'm sure you can understand."

He presents a business card for the CEO of Hawksmoor and advises Robinson to contact the email address "if he has any questions".
The manager adds "don't worry about the drinks" saying the steak house, which overlooks Regent Street, will cover them.
Tommy Robinson pleads NOT guilty to harassing two journalists after 'sharing multiple posts'
He concludes "I'm very sorry. I hope it hasn't inconvenienced you."
The 47-second clip then cuts to Mr Kalirai who rants "have you seen that? We've just been kicked out of the steak house.
"Been sat here for a f***ing hour. We are sat here with the celebrities."
The footage ends with Robinson looking at the card and typing on his mobile phone.
The Sun has approached Hawksmoor for comment.
It comes hours after Robinson
Robinson arrived at Westminster Magistrates' Court today surrounded by supporters.
The 42-year-old denied two counts of harassment causing fear of violence between August 5 and 7, 2024.
He allegedly harassed the two reporters causing them to "fear violence would be used against them".
The court heard he shared multiple posts about the men on X, formerly Twitter, and in calls.
Robinson elected to have his trial at Southwark Crown Court and will appear for a hearing on July 3.
He was bailed on the condition he does not contact any prosecution witness directly or indirectly and must not post anything online which would identify them.
The third condition stated he is "not to publish any comment relating to current proceedings that may prejudice either parties to proceedings or proceedings themselves other than those permitted by the Crime and Disorder Act."
A Crown Prosecution Service spokesperson earlier said: "We have authorised the Metropolitan Police to charge Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, 42, with harassment causing fear of violence against two men.
"The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against the defendant are active and that he has the right to a fair trial."

Staggering cost Labour has spent chartering boats to rescue migrants in Channel in just eight months revealed
NEARLY £4million has been spent under Sir Keir Starmer's government on chartering five privately owned boats to rescue migrants in the Channel over the last eight months.

Home Office figures show Aeolian has been paid £2,093,800 since July last year and Cwind £1,786,199 in the same period. A Home Office spokesperson said: 'The catamarans leased under these contracts are considered more suitable for the task of rescuing migrants from small boats, than the larger vessels in the Border Force maritime fleet. "As a result, our fleet of cutters and coastal-patrol vessels are free to concentrate on tackling the wider threats around the UK coast.

Incredible new footage of Ukraine's Op Spiderweb shows smuggled drone taking off from lorry & blitzing Putin's bombers
THIS is the moment a smuggled Ukrainian drone launched from the roof of a lorry — and blitzed a Russian Tu-22M3 bomber in a direct hit. The incredible footage, part of Ukraine's covert 'Operation Spiderweb,' tracks the FPV drone from launch to impact in stunning detail. 1 Ukraine has released new footage of its dramatic Operation Spiderweb Credit: Twitter It shows the drone lifting off from the top of what appears to be a transport vehicle — camouflaged as part of everyday infrastructure. The FPV is then seen skimming across enemy territory and diving into a high-value target at Russia's Belaya airfield. As the drone closes in, smoke is already seen rising from previous strikes - the aftermath of a calculated blitz that's left Russia's long-range air force in shambles. The strike is part of a larger, high-stakes campaign that's left a trail of wreckage across four of Russia's strategic air bases. It also delivered a staggering $7 billion blow to Vladimir Putin's long-range bomber fleet. More to follow...

Iran's unfathomably cruel execution regime is laid bare… by the man who's seen it first hand after 25 YEARS on death row
ONE of Iran's longest-serving prisoners has exposed the disturbing mechanisms the regime uses to put inmates to death. Saeed Masouri, who has spent 25 years behind bars, also revealed how the 5 Saeed Masouri been in jail in Iran for 25 years Credit: NCRI 5 Four Iranian convicts hanging after a public execution in 2007 Credit: AFP 5 Masouri is held in Ghezel Hesar prison in Iran Credit: Iran Human Rights The regime's merciless killing spree has seen at least 176 inmates sent to the gallows in the past month. Insiders told The Sun the shocking spike in executions comes amid a barbaric attempt from leaders to crush dissent and act as a warning against it. Masouri, who was arrested for his affiliation with the resistance unit People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran, has now told of the secret process behind executions. Psychological torture, threats against family and sham trials are all used as tools by the regime to condemn its enemies to death on trumped-up charges. More on Iran Masouri's emotional letter was smuggled out of the notorious Ghezel Hesar prison in Iran and shared with The Sun from Iran Human Rights Monitor. "It is often said that every criminal act is preceded by criminal preparations, hidden beneath the surface," the 60-year-old wrote in a letter to the UN. "For instance, when an execution is carried out, the inhumane and rights-violating acts that preceded it remain hidden from view. "Formal steps like prosecution, indictment, and trial are mere facades. Every detail, from A to Z, is orchestrated by these security agencies." Most read in The Sun Masouri told how those accused are hauled into court with a "fabricated case file" to give a smoke screen of a fair and legal procedure. "These so-called 'judges don't even read the actual files," he said. Dad set to be executed in Iran shares powerful audio message blasting regime from behind bars "This is why there is no logical argumentation or credible evidence in the case files, no opportunity for defence (as trials rarely last more than 10 minutes), and no access for lawyers to review the case materials. "Verdicts are predetermined and simply announced. "Empty phrases about 'resolving disputes', 'equality before the law', 'prohibition of injustice', or 'delivering rights to rightful owners' are just lip service. "In reality, defendants are denied the right to a fair defense, and the courts are devoid of justice and even basic adherence to their own laws. "Meanwhile, the stripping of civil rights is carried out to the fullest extent possible." Defendants - and their lawyers - are often even denied access to their own files, making it near impossible to be cleared. Masouri said this is true in the cases of Mehdi Hassani and Behrouz Ehsani, who both face imminent execution. "When the so-called evidence in a case has no real basis or credibility, the only way to keep it hidden is to declare the entire file confidential," he wrote. Haunting message of dad behind bars Exclusive by Katie Davis, Chief Foreign Reporter (Digital) A DAD set to be executed in Iran blasted its brutal regime in a powerful voice message recorded behind bars. He now faces But defiant Hassani has unleashed a blistering put down of Iran's 'cruelty and oppression' in a voice message to his daughter Maryam that has been shared with The Sun. The dad-of-three said: 'This regime has for the past 46 years spent the country's wealth on warmongering and suppressing the people of Iran. 'If I'm in prison today and have been sentenced to execution, it is only because I could not tolerate seeing such cruelty and oppression against this nation and against the children of my land and I stood up against oppression. 'They have no evidence against me and they didn't even allow my lawyer to access and study my file so that he could expose the contradictions that exist.' Hassani - who was arrested in September - vowed the regime is 'doomed to perish'. "[This allows] the system to coerce forced confessions, such as televised admissions or baseless claims presented as 'documentaries'. "In return, the accused is promised clemency or a reduction in punishment. In this way, the defendant is forced to choose: either confess to lies or face execution. "Lawyers - stripped of any ability to defend their clients - are left to weigh between refusing to participate in injustice and doing something, anything, to save their client's life. "Often, the only path left is for the accused themselves to express remorse, seek forgiveness, or act in whatever way they think may help." But Masouri warned even if inmates decide to "confess" to fabricated charges, it does not put them in the clear. "The accused's family is summoned and threatened: if your loved one does not repent, if they do not write a confession, if they do not seek a pardon - then execution is inevitable, and nothing can stop it," he said. "If the execution happens, the blame lies with them—and with you. "Thus, when families and lawyers are left with no means of defense, they may blame themselves, one another, or even the defendant. 5 Pictures show a man named Balal who was led to the gallows by his victim's family 5 "The government and judiciary, meanwhile, are absolved of any responsibility. It comes amid a staggering rise in executions - which sources told The Sun More than 1,100 state executions have taken place Supreme Leader According to figures from the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), that marks more than a 20 per cent increase compared to 2023, when the regime executed 853 Iranians. Hossein Abedini, deputy director of the NCRI offices in the UK, said paranoid rules were hellbent on stamping out repression. He told The Sun: "Executions under the clerical regime contravene all internationally recognised standards and norms of due process and are fundamentally used as a political instrument of repression. "Faced with deep-rooted crises stemming from illegitimacy, corruption, and incompetence, and driven by fear of popular uprisings and nationwide protests, this regime has resorted to increasing executions. "It employs inhumane pressures on political prisoners, torturing and harassing them and their families. "As a result, the rate of executions in Iran is rising at an unprecedented level in recent decades, with death sentences issued even for political prisoners arrested during the September 2022 uprising." Iran ramps up executions by Katie Davis, Chief Foreign Reporter (Digital) PARANOID Iranian leaders are hellbent on ramping up repression on home turf in a dramatic bid to stamp out rebellion, insiders say. It comes as Iran's regime has been left red-faced by the downfall of Syria's dictatorship as well as Executions are said to be taking place every couple of hours as Iran has one of the most horrific human rights records in the world, and according to campaigners also holds the harrowing title for the highest execution rate. The Sun previously revealed how dozens of Harrowing records leaked from Iran's torturous prisons also showed how In 2024, the Iranian regime ramped up the executions of its own people - including women, children and political prisoners. Official records show that the number of executions last year reached 1,000 - the highest number in 30 years and 16 percent higher than the previous. Of those on record, 34 were women and seven were under 18 at the time of their so-called crimes. The Most of the surging executions are by hanging, but there is also evidence of other
