Nan, 42, Hit Waiter with High Heels at Miller and Carter After Missing Birthday Meal

  • At Miller & Carter's Albert Dock branch, on February 17, 2026, Mary McGinley, a 42-year-old grandmother, struck a waiter with her high-heeled shoe after arriving late for a planned birthday meal.
  • Having booked for 9.45pm but arriving at 10.15pm, the party was told the kitchen had closed and two male members of the birthday party were refused alcohol for lacking ID.
  • Staff responded by using a chair and chef Angelo Muto intervened with a 'bear hug', but Muto suffered a laceration, a lump and swelling to his right eye, while Roche-Jones had a lump to his head and bruising to his ribs.
  • McGinley pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm and assault by beating, receiving a six-month imprisonment suspended for 18 months plus a three-month electronically monitored curfew and rehabilitation requirement.
  • She was later traced via her reservation and arrested in December 2023 after failing to attend a Merseyside Police interview; mitigating factors included mental health issues, a recent family bereavement in Ireland, and three previous convictions covering 11 offences.
