“The hospitality industry is only just getting back on its feet and we’ve come off the back of a difficult winter so losing £150 in revenue really matters to us, as it would to any pub in the country.
“The bar staff said they made no attempt to pay after having a really good meal, they simply walked out and weren’t seen again.
“I don’t know how people have the audacity to act that way, it’s shocking behaviour. We haven’t had anything like this before but it seems to be happening more often across the country.”
John’s son Sam Watson, who helps manage the pub, said he had noticed that the group ordered particularly pricey food.

“They certainly weren’t holding back and they also had quite a bit to drink,” he said.
Sam added that “there were quite a few people around and it looks as though they took advantage of that.”
“Thankfully we found them on our cameras and we’re getting their pictures out there because there’s no doubt they must have known what they were doing,” he added.
Sam said that management are going to give the group a chance to come clean and settle their bill before they go to the police.
