This is the moment a group of suspected dine and dashers strolled out of a restaurant without paying their bill after feasting on steaks, pornstar martinis and ice cream.
Lokman Gurbuz, owner of the Chadderton Bar and Grill in Greater Manchester, was left ‘gutted’ when he noticed the four customers leaving the restaurant on Valentine’s Day.
The group had racked up a £230 bill after ordering fillet steaks, priced at £26.95 each, pizzas, portions of Frederick’s ice cream and drinks including Malibu and coke and eight pornstar martinis.
CCTV footage of their exit shows two girls, one clad in a blue tracksuit and the other in a black jumpsuit, walking out of the restaurant past a bemused waiter before a man wearing all black follows them out.
The other person reported to have left without settling up is not seen in the video. Mr Gurbuz has since pleaded with the customers to return and pay what they owe with a post on Facebook.
He said: ‘They hadn’t booked and we were quite busy. It was two ladies and one gentleman and they wanted a table but had to wait.
‘After 15 minutes they got a table and ordered cocktails, double Malibus, food and dessert. Their friend also came to join them. One girl went out first for a smoke, then the others followed after about five minutes.

‘I was serving another table taking an order, and the next thing, I looked over and they had disappeared. I am gutted. It’s not just about the money, but it’s the time. We had to make all the cocktails for them when we were busy.
In a public post on Facebook, along with CCTV of the party leaving, the venue wrote: ‘We are sharing this message to make other restaurant owners and businesses aware.
‘These customers visited our restaurant, enjoyed their meal, and unfortunately left without paying the bill. We have CCTV footage and the bill receipt as proof of the incident.
‘As a business, we normally respect customer privacy and never share CCTV footage publicly. However, in this situation, we feel it is important to raise awareness and protect other local businesses from similar incidents.
‘If the individuals in this video see this post, we kindly request you to contact us and settle the outstanding bill. We also request fellow business owners to stay alert. Thank you for your support.’
The Daily Mail understands the group contacted the restaurant and told Mr Gurbuz they will return to pay.
However, that was a few days ago and the group have not yet been back to settle the bill.
