An Italian restaurant has accused a family of doing a ‘dine-and dash’ after racking up a £329 bill.
Staff at the Bella Ciao Italian restaurant in Port Talbot, just west of Swansea, say the family-of-eight left the establishment without paying for their costly meal on Friday evening.
The diners ordered expensive steaks, double desserts and 15 bottles of pop, but started to send back a number of half empty plates, which raised eyebrows among staff members.
Having been given the bill, CCTV footage shows the mother of the group attempting to pay with a savings account card which got declined twice.
She allegedly told staff her son would wait inside while she went to get her ‘other card’, but she did not return and moments later the boy had also vanished from the premises.
