A restaurant has responded after a new mum named her baby after her favourite dish.

Taking to Facebook The Captain's Table in Newtownabbey shared a picture of the newborn and a note from a regular customer explaining the name. The baby was named Pakora and the note showed an order of a chicken pakora burrito, a regular chicken pakora and a chicken pakora melt.

Jamie said: "People go to some lengths these days for a freebie." Kennedy said: "That calls for a free order."

Amy said: "That name might be ok on a cat or dog but it’s dreadful on a human." Meanwhile, Teresa said: "My favourite things to eat during my two pregnancies were banana popsicles and watermelon. Thank God I used the sense I was born with and didn't name my kids after them."
