A couple were "mortified" when they realised they had left a restaurant without paying their bill.
The Watering Can on Greenbank Road previously appealed for two diners to settle their bill after they left the restaurant without paying. After spotting the couple walking out and checking CCTV, it was feared it was a deliberate act.
Owner Phil Sterling appealed for the couple to return and pay their bill as "everyone is struggling" at the moment, adding it was "unfair all round". He said: "It hits the bottom line in all ways, there's the cost of making the food, storing it, producing it, delivering it, clearing up and workers providing a good service throughout, making sure the customer has had a good time. It's unfair all round, not just us as owners but the whole team."
