A woman has claimed her best friend’s hen meal was cancelled after Elton John and David Walliams booked a ‘semi-private event’ at a restaurant in Cannes.
The two stars shared snaps of themselves having lunch at the expensive La Guérite restaurant and beach club, on the Île Ste-Marguerite, south of Cannes.
But their attendance allegedly meant a group of women who booked a table at the venue in May to celebrate their friend’s upcoming wedding had their reservation axed last minute.
Taking a swipe at the stars on Instagram, a friend of the bride wrote: ‘Hope you enjoyed La Guérite! Our reservation was cancelled for my best friend’s hen do due to your “semi-private event”.’
She added: ‘We booked our table in May didn’t think it would be cancelled with 24 hours’ notice.’
Her claim was backed up by another woman, who wrote: ‘So bad isn’t it! We flew here especially for this for our friend’s hen.’
It is unlikely Sir Elton or Walliams were aware of any bookings being cancelled on the day of their event.

The women’s comments were penned under a post shared by Walliams, in which he pictured himself sitting next to his friend Sir Elton at the restaurant.
Comedian Walliams, 53, also shared a video of him dancing – in which he couldn’t contain his excitement when Whitney Houston’s I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me) was played, much to the amusement of pop icon Sir Elton.
Walliams stood at the table and swayed animatedly to the music, before moving to dance with his hands on the back of Sir Elton’s chair.
The Crocodile Rock legend, who looked smart in a summer shirt, appeared in great spirits and sang along before collapsing into fits of giggles.
Walliams, shielding his eyes behind shades, was loving every moment and had a huge grin on his face as the other diners laughed along.
As well as Elton, David was joined by Heartstopper stars Kit Connor, 21, Joe Locke, 21, and Tobie Donovan, 23, sharing snaps as they soaked up the sun together.
He shared the clip to X and captioned it: ‘Summer holiday’.
Sir Elton attended the same restaurant with his husband David Furnish in July.
The singer is believed to own a £15million villa – known as the Yellow Palace – which sits along the coast from Cannes.
The Daily Mail has contacted the restaurant, as well as Sir Elton and Walliams’ representatives for comment.
