🍽️👀 Unbelievable! A couple at an upscale Penarth restaurant indulged in a fine meal of Dover sole, calamari, and several drinks, racking up a £115 bill, only to slip away without settling up!
This cheeky duo parked their high-end car in the private lot of El Puerto at the Old Custom House, enjoyed their luxurious spread, and then made a dash when they thought no one was watching. Caught on CCTV, their swift exit was realised by staff too late to give chase.
Restaurant owner Tanny Martinez shared his disappointment, highlighting the added pressure this incident places on an already strained hospitality industry. It’s not just about the money; such incidents can hit team morale hard too, especially when so much care goes into providing an exceptional experience for diners.
The incident has been reported to South Wales Police, and the restaurant hopes for a resolution. They’ve even reached out on social media, urging the couple to settle the matter directly.
If anyone has a clue about this dining dash, you’re encouraged to contact South Wales Police quoting 2600206060.
