A diner has been accused of leaving an Abingdon restaurant without paying the bill.

Staff at Dorindo's Mexican restaurant in High Street posted a photo of the man, who may be called Seb, on Facebook.

A statement issued by the eatery on October 10 said: "Please be aware this guy came tonight to eat at Dorindo's.

"He asked for the toilet after he finished his meal and ran without paying from the back door so be careful."

Staff said they had contacted Thames Valley Police about the dine and dash incident but the force said it had no record of the complaint.

One person who read the restaurant's post said: "Great restaurant. I hope he gets chronic indigestion."

Dorindo's has a four-star food hygiene rating, and a 4.5-out-of-five rating on the customer review website TripAdvisor.

One diner who visited recently wrote: "It was a pleasant atmosphere and very welcoming with lovely waiters.

The restaurant and Thames Valley Police have been contacted for comment by the Oxford Mail.
