Well, this issue comes up quite often.
As the UK is not part of the Schengen area a non-EU family member of an EU citizen does require a visa even if travelling with the EU spouse and being resident in the UK.
My daughter-in-law (Turkish) but born in Germany and married to my son (German) and both wanting to travel together to the UK to visit my mother there was denied entry into the UK without a visa! So to avoid trouble you should apply for a visa!
In theory it is supposed to be visa - free but it does not seem to work that way in Europe.
Cheers
Ricky
