That the restaurant owner rudely evicted his other restaurant
customers from tables where they were already eating, when Ramsay's
group arrived.
Which has nothing whatever to do with Ramsay wanting to go out to eat
when travelling.

It means people sitting at a table eating their dinner. As the
article makes clear.

In this country it would be considered incredibly rude both to the
customers asked to move, and to Ramsays' party, made to feel embarrassed
for disrupting other peoples' evening.

What, you were sitting at a restaurant table you had booked in
advance, you had given your order, the food had just been served and you
were about to eat it, then you were asked to move and eat it somewhere
else for the convenience of other customers who had just arrived
