Moment ‘dine & dasher with Co-op bag runs away from £65 bill’ after gobbling lamb chops & downing Pornstar martini
A MANAGER has slammed a man he says ran off without paying a £65 bill after gobbling lamb chops and downing a pornstar martini.
CCTV footage shows a well-dressed man seemingly enjoying a meal at an Italian restaurant in Kent yesterday.
But, he appears to polish off his plate, and wipe his mouth before checking his phone.
The man then peers around, picks up his Co-Op bag, and walks out of Posillipo in Borough, Canterbury – before breaking out into a jog along the street.
Restaurant manager Marian Pandos says the man took off without paying his bill – which he’d racked up to £65.
Marian has now shared CCTV of what he says in the “dine and dasher” in the act in the hopes this won’t happen to other businesses.
He told KentOnline: “Unfortunately these things happen. Especially at summertime, there’s always going to be something going on.
“It’s not about £65, but the point is I’m sure lots of us never went to a restaurant and walked away without paying.
“It’s not just about us. It’s also about other businesses so they can be aware and keep an eye on people.”
The manager shared a photo of the man’s alleged unpaid bill, which included two beers, a pornstar martin, lamb chops, fishballs and chips.
Marian said the man was aged in his 40s, and was dressed nicely in a woolen cardigan, blue jeans, white trainers and a paddy cap.
He told MailOnline: “We were quite busy inside and we had a couple of tables outside. My colleague went out to look after one of the tables and the guy disappeared.
“He had a starter, main and a side dish as well as two beers and a pornstar martini – he treated himself very well.”
The Sun has contacted Kent Police and Posillipo for comment.
It comes after it was revealed a “crimewave” was sweeping the UK.
Last week a serial “dine and dash” couple admitted to skipping out on restaurant bills worth more than £1,000.
Bernard McDonagh, 41, and his wife Ann McDonagh, 39, were caught on camera striking at a string of eateries across Wales.
The shameless couple, who have three children, rung up bills totalling £1,168.10 from five different restaurants.
They pleaded guilty to five counts of fraud at Swansea Magistrates’ Court on May 8.
The feckless pair also admitted four shoplifting offences after swiping £1,017.60 worth of goods from Tommy Hilfiger, Sainsbury and Tesco.
