"After copious amounts of wine and cocktails, I somehow became extremely infatuated with one of your thermometers and in that process, decided it would be a brilliant idea to take it home with me.”

The author went on to say that she concedes that he was loud and disruptive while partaking in 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.

Mike Lewis – General Manager at The Huxley - “This year has been tough, on businesses, on people, on hospitality too and we are so pleased to see customers again.

"But it’s not easy, re-learning your job after so long out if it.

"But this group of guests with their mischief not malice, with their energy not aggression makes our jobs all the more fun.

"I’m not condoning theft but we have all enjoyed this tale and the apology note is just first class.
