Chef praised for returning big £1,000 bill to 'rude' diner

A chef has been praised by thousands of people after he called out a rich diner who he says disrespected a member of staff at his restaurant - and gave back a large sum of money to the punter.

Lee Skeet returned a whopping £1,000 to the diner after the incident happened, although he kept £100 for the front-of-house member of staff who suffered from the inappropriate behaviour from the diners party. Despite the bill being the largest that his restaurant had ever received, he has banned the diner from coming back to his restaurant ever again.

Taking to Twitter to share the situation with his followers, he made it clear he was not retelling the incident for "clout" or "likes". Instead, he said: "I just think we should start calling out rich people who think they can treat people like crap."
