Bar gets apology letter from ‘plate thief’
An Edinburgh bar has received a hilarious apology letter from a rowdy customer – after she ran away from the premises clutching her burger still on the plate.
The Huxley on Rutland Street in the Capital received a letter and a parcel including chocolate bars after a rowdy group of customers visited the bar.
The letter included several apologies, saying: “I was at your establishment over the weekend having a beautiful time.
"I had been drinking throughout the day to the point of many regrets.”
The author went on to say that she concedes that he was loud and disruptive while partaking of several more drinks.
She continued: “The next part of the story I have no recollection of.
"I am told that upon our Uber arriving to save your employees from us, I attempted to take my burger away with me while it was still on a plate.
"As a result, I was running through the streets manically being chased by one of your very brave employees trying to retrieve said plate.
"Thankfully he got to me in time and recovered it safe and sound.”
In a statement from the Huxley, they said they are delighted at the return of the items, along with the letter.
Mike Lewis – general manager at the Huxley – said: “This year has been tough, on businesses, on people, on hospitality too and we are so pleased to see customers again.
"I’m not condoning theft but we have all enjoyed this tale and the apology note is just first class.
"The Huxley Plate Thief should consider their apology accepted.”
