Group caught 'leaving pub without paying €250 bill' after enjoying Father's Day roast dinner

A pub has accused a group who enjoyed a three course Father's Day Sunday Roast and cocktails of leaving without paying their €250 bill.

CCTV captured two couples, along with a baby and toddler, leaving The Fisherman's Arms in Newlyn - a seaside town and fishing port in Cornwall.

Manager Lucy told Mirror UK that one of the men approached the bar and asked how much their bill was.

She explained: "One of them came up to the bar, had a look at the bill and said the women were in the toilet. He said they were going out for a cigarette and would come back to settle up, but they left.

"The women weren't in the toilet, they had already left."

The table of six had enjoyed a three-course Sunday Roast, cocktails and food for the children. It came to a total of £215 (€250).

Lucy claimed this was the first time the restaurant, which had only been open seven months, had been left short.

She continued: "They are not from around here, you want to trust people, but this wasn't an accidental walk off. You can see one of the men shushing the other as they walk away on the CCTV."

The pub took to Twitter to share CCTV images and wrote: "Anyone know who these people are? Just did a runner without paying, 2 went out the front door and 2 out the back !!!"

Earlier in the day the establishment tweeted to say their head chef had prepared the finest food for their Sunday Roast which was available at tables overlooking the harbour between 12 and 8pm.

Local police are making enquiries into the alleged incident.

In a statement to Mirror UK, Devon and Cornwall Police said: "Police are aware of an incident where it is alleged that a group of people left The Fisherman’s Arms in Newlyn without paying their bill, late afternoon on Sunday June 18.

"Enquiries continue into this matter. Anyone with any information that could assist the police is asked to contact 101."
