A restaurant owner has voiced frustration after 22 no-shows in a single night. Marios Bregu, who runs Maria's Greek Taverna in Cardiff, is pleading with customers to get in touch if they need to cancel a reservation.
The 28-year-old told WalesOnline his restaurant in Crwys Road, Cathays, was "hit hard" by no-shows last Saturday and had to bin £200 worth of food at the end of the night. "It hurt me so badly to do that," he said.
In a Facebook post the restaurant said: "We had a table of 20 and a 10 booked in, 30 people in total. We set the tables up and moved the restaurant around early evening to accommodate these, turning away other bookings. On the evening eight guests in total arrived over the bookings."
