Date: 2024-10-21
A GROUP of women have been accused of “dine and dashing” after allegedly racking up a £174 bill on wine and oysters during a birthday celebration before leaving without paying.
Staff at the Scarborough restaurant said they were “upset and annoyed” to discover that the group had not paid the bill, even after finishing their meals.
Gillian Partridge, owner of Lookout on the Pier, revealed that the party of four had ordered two bottles of wine, oysters, a large chowder, several tapas dishes, and even received a birthday cake.
North Yorkshire Police has released CCTV images of four women involved in the “dine and dash” that took place on September 15.
The group was given an hour-and-a-half slot for their birthday meal but had to finish their drinks at the breakfast bar after arriving late.
For that to happen, it’s upsetting, it’s the cheek of it

The group reportedly told police that they were moved from their table and thought the food was awful, so they didn’t believe it was worth their money, according to Gillian.
However, despite the group’s alleged claim of terrible food, the restaurant owner said they told staff that everything was great.
Staff members even played Happy Birthday over the tannoy.
