A diner at a restaurant in northern England was caught on camera placing a hair into a dish in an apparent attempt to get a free meal, according to the business.
Dig deeper:
The Woolpack, a pub in Haslingden, shared surveillance footage showing a family dining at the restaurant.
The business said a member of the group later complained that she found a hair in a child's macaroni and cheese.
What they're saying:
"The hair in question was notably long, which raised some questions given that our chef is neither long-haired nor capable of producing such a specimen," the restaurant said.
The restaurant said it provided the customers with a replacement order of macaroni and cheese, which they took with them.
The business also alleged that the group left with a bottle of ketchup, an ice cream bowl and a teaspoon.
"Running a small hospitality business is challenging enough without having to deal with false complaints, threats of social media campaigns, and missing tableware," the restaurant wrote.
