A chain of high-end coffee shops owned by a man who was filmed launching a furious rant at a cyclist has suffered a backlash of bad reviews and complaints after the video went viral.

The Brew coffee chain is owned by master butcher Jason Wells who was captured on film in an astonishing expletive-laden exchange with a cyclist who wasn't using a bike lane.

The violent outburst was caught on camera by the rider, after the Land Rover Discovery 4 driven by Mr Wells appeared to cut him up, and the video has since been watched thousands of times.

Now, Mr Wells' Brew chain, which has four locations in Clapham, Putney, Wimbledon and Wandsworth, appears to have suffered a backlash from angry reviewers on TripAdvisor - many apparently posted by disgruntled cyclists.

Mr Wells' upmarket Brew chain currently has four locations in London - Clapham, Putney, Wimbledon and Wandsworth. The Clapham Junction branch is pictured

One user titled their entry: 'Projectile vomiting and chronic diarrhea' (sic)

They said: 'Not going here again the whole family came down with chronic diarrhea and projectile vomiting after eating there, and I was quite alarmed when an angry man in leather kicked in the wheels of my 3 year old sons balance bike whilst we sat at our table.'

Another added: 'This is a shocking place!

'Saw the owner abusing a customer, using swear words I have not come across! Looks a nasty piece of work and the food was even worse!

'I came home and vomited for 30 mins - the food is bad. Avoid if you value your stomach.' (sic)

Another, rather tongue-in-cheek, reviewer posted: 'cycled over to brew cafe for a spot of supper this evening, boy do I wish now I didn't bother!

'I had the soup which was a bit cold and tasted a bit soapy but I was really hungry so I wolfed it down and had a cuppa whilst I was at it.

'When I asked for some more bitter (butter) for my bread, the rude waiter told me I had already have 5 portions and he wasn't prepared to get me anymore. I replied that I like butter and he said he no one can like that much butter.

'At that point, owner Jason Wells came out from the back. He had overheard me complaining and said if I like butter so much why don't I buy a cow?! I told him I would buy his wife for a fiver at which point he flew into a rage! He told me to get out of his place and never come back. I ran away because he had a crazy look in his eye and I was worried what he may do.

Another reviewer posted a clearly tongue-in-cheek review about the cafe and its owner

'Later outside whilst unlocking my bike, a lady who was worked in a shop next door, told me she though that the cafe chain was sending money to ISIS. On reflection this would make sense, but I don't have any proof.'

Facebook users have also written comments on the Brew Facebook page vowing to boycott the chain and the chain’s Instagram and Twitter accounts have also been targeted.

A torrent of abuse between the cyclist and Mr Wells broke out as the businessman accused the unknown cyclist of hitting his car on Priory Lane in Roehampton, south-west London, heading towards Richmond Park.

The video, obtained by the Richmond and Twickenham Times, appears to show Mr Wells slowing down to allow the cyclist to catch up before closing the space between them.

Mr Wells shouts 'There's a ******* cycle lane' before what appears to be contact between the car and bicycle. He then gets out of his car and the pair launch into an angry argument.

Australian Mr Wells, who lives in a modern five-bedroom house in Richmond with his wife Jacqueline and two teenage children aged 15 and 16, later apologised for his rant

The cyclist replies 'I am legally allowed here' before another bike rider steps in to try to help break up the heated argument.

Australian Mr Wells, who lives in a modern five-bedroom house in Richmond with his wife Jacqueline and two teenage children aged 15 and 16, later apologised for his rant.

He told the Evening Standard: 'I would like to apologise for any offence caused. My behaviour was unacceptable and regardless of the situation, I shouldn't react like that.

'I fully appreciate that cyclists have as much right to the road as any other road users.'

Samphire Communictions - which represents Brew - has been contacted by Mail Online.

During the four-minute video, father-of-two Mr Wells shouts for the cyclist to: 'Put your bike down you ****. ******* idiot. I'd ******* eat you for breakfast. You simple ****.

'I'll call the ******* police. Did you thump my car you ****? I'll ******* kill you, ****. 'I'll smash your ******* teeth down your throat.'

The cyclist appears to then goad Mr Wells, asking why he had not done so already.

Mr Wells then gets back into his vehicle, but can still be heard shouting abuse to the cyclist as he drives off.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: 'A 50-year-old man voluntarily attended a south London police station where he was interviewed in connection with the incident. The man was not arrested.'
