Yes. The fact that the spouse has a UK spouse visa doesn't mean anything, that is a nationally issued document not an EU one. Though in practicality, as there's not a hard border, the chances of them being stopped for immigration reasons is slim.

How do they enforce a visa requirement, if there are no immigration checks?
They do spot checks on coaches/buses. I don’t know if they check people who drive themselves or take trains, but I have never risked it myself and I wouldn’t recommend anyone risking it.
