A Leeds restaurant owner has called on diners to show 'decency and respect' and let them know if they are not going to make their reservation.

Bars and restaurants across the city, which have been severely hit by lockdown, are reporting an increase in 'no-shows'.

It's piling extra pressure on venues, some of which are on the brink after months of losing money.

It comes after top chef Tom Kerridge criticised 27 “selfish” and “disgraceful” customers who did not turn up at the Corinthia Hotel in central London without letting the restaurant know.
