Footage shows family leave West Country pub without paying after 'pretending to go for a smoke'

New footage has emerged of the moment a family seemingly left a West Country pub without paying. The group ordered cocktails and a three-course meal racking up £251 bill during a special Father's Day lunch.

The Fisherman's Arms in Newlyn, shared CCTV footage following the incident which left the business out of pocket and staff upset. The customers, two couples with a toddler and baby, had allegedly said they would be back after a smoke on Sunday (June 18) but never returned. Lucy, the pub manager, explained that one of the men came up to the bar and had a look at the bill but it was never paid.

He said the women were in the toilet and that after going out for a cigarette they would come back to settle up, but they left and the bill was never paid. In the video at the top of this page you can see the moment two of the men left the pub, near Penzance, appearing to shush one another, reports Cornwall Live.
