In an official statement, a spokesman for Tiger Tiger denied that soldiers had been asked to leave
He said: 'No soldiers were forced to change clothes at Tiger Tiger Croydon. There were a number of soldiers in fatigues in the bar on Thursday.
'As with any customer, they were told that we have an evening dress code and asked to change if possible. Some of the soldiers were unable to get changed but, because of the significance of the event that day, an exception was made and they were permitted to stay.
'It was an important day for the regiment and town which is why an exception was made.'
It sounds as though the bar behaved quite reasonably.
