Restaurant issues plea after couple leave without paying for breakfast

A restaurant owner has criticised the "unfair" behaviour of customers who leave without paying. It comes after a couple left his venue without settling a £41 breakfast bill.

Phil Starling, who co-owns The Watering Can in Liverpool, said he feared the walkout was a deliberate act after checking CCTV. The restaurant has urged the two diners to come forward and pay what they owe before the footage is handed over to police.

Writing on social media over the weekend, The Watering Can Liverpool said: "Hello there, could the couple who visited The Watering Can around 10:30am yesterday (Friday, February 3) for breakfast return to pay your unfinalised bill please? I am sure it was just on oversight leaving without paying but we have some really clear 4K images and CCTV that we are happy to put on social media and pass over to the police - but hopefully it won't come to that."
