'Dine and dash' family 'who fled without paying £260 bill' pay after being named
A family who were named and shamed after an alleged “dine and dash” where they fled a £260 pub bill have now paid up.
The group of 12 adults and kids at the popular Cornwall pub, Britannia Inn and Waves, were caught on camera indulging in plates including a £25 rump steak and a £17.50 lasagne. They washed them down with four pints of Madri lager at £6.20 each, and 10 pints of Stella Artois lager, at a cost of £5.90 per drink.
A picture of the receipt also showed kids meals of sausage and chips, penne pasta and chicken nuggets, as well as £3 pepper sauce for the steak. And after staff posted the CCTV images on Facebook leading to the party being identified, the bill has now been paid.
The pub thanked people for sharing their post that led to the "scammers" being identified. A Facebook post read: "MASSIVE THANK YOU AGAIN !! To everyone for sharing our posts & for contacting us with info on last weeks scammers. You really have played your part in highlighting some less desirable people we live amongst in our community.
The people were eating and drinking before they allegedly ran off"After revealing one of the scammers identity yesterday, a family member contacted us & settled the bill in full. Let’s hope they get reimbursed by their shameful relatives. Thank you good people out there and stay vigilant from these types in the future. The Britannia team."
