Moment shameless punters ‘dine and dash’ – at the same pub where a family racked up £215 bill then fled
THIS is the moment two shameless punters dined and dashed – just months after a family did a runner on a £215 bill at the same pub.
The manager at the Fisherman’s Arms in Newlyn, Cornwall, has taken to social media in the hope of tracking down two women who left without paying.
It comes after the pub, which is part-owned by England rugby star Jack Nowell, hit the headlines earlier this year after a family ran out without paying on Father’s Day.
However, after picturing and shaming the group on Facebook, the bill was eventually settled with a “generous” tip.
The pub is hoping for a similar result after the latest dine and dash and have shared CCTV of the women.
They posted the pictures with the caption: “Here we go again! These two belters did a runner tonight without paying. Booked under name of Bethany.”
The snaps show the two women who are both blonde and were both wearing grey hoodies.
Following the dine and dash earlier this year staff member Lucy told MailOnline: “I have worked in this industry for 14 years and it’s never happened to me before.
“It’s just quite disappointing – we only opened seven months ago.
“They came in, racked up a huge bill and walked out. They had lots of cocktails, food, starters, mains and pudding.
“We would love it if they came back in and paid, but I don’t know if it’s going to happen. We also want other businesses to be aware so that no one else gets stung.”
However, she later said the family had settled their debts. It is not known whether they dashed accidentally or on purpose.
It comes after a couple who ran out of a restaurant without paying last month said they had a good reason to after they were shamed for dashing online.
Ruby McGrath, 32, and Suzy Hopley, 33, had a £56 meal with their two kids at the Smithy Arms in Swinton, North Yorkshire.
But the couple hit back at the post – saying they were forced to leave because of “an emergency”.
Meanwhile a bride recently claimed that her bridesmaid did a runner after stealing £3,000 from the happy couple.
