Restaurateur vows to pay waitress £1k bill paid by 'arrogant' diners who 'grabbed' her

A restaurant owner has slammed a group of "arrogant" customers who talked down and "aggressively grabbed" his waitress while refusing to leave a tip on their £1,000 bill - and has vowed to pay her the full amount that the group spent to make up for her mistreatment.

Lee Skeet, who previously worked with Gordon Ramsay but now owns Cora in Cardiff, has said he was approached by his waitress on Wednesday night after the incident involving a group of six "disrespectful" diners.

The group reportedly turned up late for their booking, gulped down seven bottles of wine between them before even starting the first course, and were generally rude all evening - culminating in them "aggressively grabbing" the waitress by the arm while complaining about their food.
