A group of diners who would only play £100 of their £450 bill have been slammed as a restaurant boss tells them never to come back.
Tom Robinson hit out at the "abysmal" behaviour of ten guests, who have all now been banned, Dorset Live reports.
The chef patron of Tom's Lyme Regis, an AA rosette winning restaurant, say the party ordered some of the most expensive items on the menu.
They then started complaining about the popular seafood restaurant - and would only pay a small percentage of the bill when they had finished the meal which included a £60 lobster order.
They wreaked havoc at the restaurant and ended the evening by causing such a disturbance that the team were forced to let them leave having only paid a small amount.

The owner said: "If restaurant owners could write reviews on their customers then tonight would be my one star.
"Tonight a table crossed the line and went above and beyond to make my guests and team fell uncomfortable.
"Offering customers to 'have a go', spades hitting the back of customers heads, allowing children to climb on fuse boxes and gas fire heaters, ordering the most expensive items on the menu and refusing to pay, at a personal cost of £350 at a time when hospitality is struggling.
"To tonight's guests, if you see this never return to my establishment, I hope you are proud of your abysmal behaviour."
He says he wouldn't challenge them and explained why he let them walk out.
He added: "We had a genuine fear that it would have escalated, and that would have substantially impacted and created a negative experience for the other diners.
"At the time was 50 other guests, we don't want people not having experience that they deserve."
He ended his public post on the matter emphasising how the guests at the site are normally very well-behaved.
The chef added: "P.S. this is few and far between and I love hospitality, food and all out lovely guests i just wanted to remind people that we have a zero tolerance policy in regards to abusive behaviour towards our wonderful guests and my team of absolute rock stars."
