An ultimatum has been released by the restaurant's bosses who state that the group must return and pay the bill or they will go to the police.

In a post on their Instagram page, the restaurant said: "Unfortunately tonight we have had a party of 14 leave an unpaid bill of over £400. "They received the same great service and good quality good as all our paying customers this evening. "We are giving this table the benefit of the doubt, to pay within 48 hours before we report this incident to the police and release their images on our social media. "We are an independently run business with a small team and we work hard to get where we are and we deserve better than this." Christina, who helped serve the group, said the booking was originally for 10 people, but they accommodated for 14 people by moving tables and chairs.
