A family which ‘did a runner’ from a Cornish restaurant without paying have struck previously, it has been reported. Two couples with a baby and toddler were spotted on CCTV leaving The Fisherman’s Arms near Penzance, Cornwall on Father’s Day without forking out for their meals.
Manager of The Fisherman’s Arms in Newlyn, near Penzance, Lucy told The Mirror one of the men approached the bar and enquired how much their bill was. She said: “One of them came up to the bar, had a look at the bill and said the women were in the toilet. He said they were going out for a cigarette and would come back to settle up, but they left, the Mirror reported.
“The women weren’t in the toilet, they had already left.” Now an Indian restaurant owner claims a family accused of walking off without paying a £215 bill “did the same to him”.
