A couple who ran off without paying the bill in a restaurant have claimed they had a good reason for doing so after facing criticism online.
Ruby McGrath, 32, and Suzy Hopley, 33, had a meal with their two kids at the Smithy Arms, in Swinton, North Yorkshire but left without paying the £56 bill.
Landlady Lisa McMaster shared CCTV footage of the couple leaving without payment on social media, according to the Mirror.
She wrote on Facebook: "How nice of you to come for a meal and drinks and run without paying. Staying on a campsite near."
After being criticised online, Ruby defended their actions and explained why they left without a word to bar staff. The Sun reports that in a now-deleted Instagram post, she wrote: "Usually I'd ignore ridiculous online hate, but this also involves my children.
"I'm just popping on to say that last night we had a delicious meal and experienced brilliant service at The Smithy Arms in Swinton, but sadly our visit was cut short and we had to dash - poor Frank didn't even get to have his ice cream - due to a personal emergency.
"Our plan was to call the pub asap to let them know the situation and then hurry back to sort the bill. As we were camping, we realised once we got back that we had zero b***** reception and had to wait until this morning to contact the pub and clear the bill!
"Anyway, long story short, all is well, the bill and generous tip have been paid. There are no hard feelings between myself and the lovely people at The Smithy Arms, yet the internet has gone nuts."
Ruby later claimed that they had had a medical issue in their group. This is just the latest such dine-and-dash episode after a string over the summer.
