Trust me you get more than you bargained for when you get your new meal!
I have seen pubic hairs added to meals, steaks wiped on chefs bums, bodily fluids added, food stamped on, food wiped across a greasy canopy, it makes me sick just thinking about it now!

Have seen very similar in a 5* hotel kitchen, steaks that were returned always got the "special" treatment :eek:

If you speak to the manager and say "I'm not paying for this, I'm leaving now" - I don't see how you can question someone's intentions?

Surely, if you leave your address, they could just throw it away anyway to show your "dishonesty"?

Intention is a fundamental part of almost any criminal offence. If you need any further information, google mens rea.

I completely agree
They had no intention of paying

I wouldn't of had any intention of paying either

Who on here would have the intention of going to a pub and paying for a load of crap !

They went out with the intention of going for a nice pub meal paying for it and then going home
Period !

I cant beleive the police got involved seriously they dont have time for burglaries and often just give you a crime number for insurance purposes

If the OP relative didnt pay how is the company going to make them, the police shouldn't give them there details ie data protection , they have to identity them via reg number and probably pay to take them to small claims court hardly worth it

I cant believe the police got involved either, unless the actions of the customers were misrepresented. Surely, if they had been given the picture wehave on this thread, they would have not done so. No meal was eaten, so no payment was due, where do the police have an interest in that?

Correct the police were under the impression that they ate the meal and did a runner

Just shows what sort of DISHONEST people we are dealing with

When they were put right that's when they said to get trading standards advice
