An Indian restaurant owner claims a family accused of walking off without paying a £215 bill "did the same to him".
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 Lucy earlier told the Mirror that one of the men approached the bar and enquired how much their bill was, then said he was going out for a cigarette and never returned.
