Restaurant owner gives 'arrogant' diners entire £1,000 bill to waitress who they treated 'like c***'

A chef decided to give the £1,000 bill paid by a rich group of diners to his young waitress after she was treated disrespectfully by them. Lee Skeet, who trained under Gordon Ramsay and runs Cora in Pontcanna, Cardiff, called the party out on social media on Wednesday (May 4) and accused them of "inappropriate behaviour".

Taking to Twitter, Mr Skeet shared screenshots of the email he had sent to the head of the party, branding the diners "rich people who think they treat people like c***". He ordered them to "never come back to my restaurant" after saying they had mistreated the 22-year-old staff member. Cora has been described as the "hidden 12-seat restaurant serving the best food in Cardiff".

The top chef wrote: "I wanted to firstly thank you for choosing my restaurant for your meal tonight and I understand you had the biggest bill we've ever had on one table here. Unfortunately, throughout the evening I was made aware that your party's behaviour was inappropriate towards Lily, who runs front of house.
