## Summary

A family is alleged to have left The Chequers, a 400-year-old pub in Burcot near Abingdon, without paying a £150 meal bill. The incident matters to the pub’s owners because the landlady says the man became aggressive when she followed him outside, prompting them to alert other local hospitality businesses.

CCTV reportedly shows the man going to the bar after the meal and saying his card had not worked, then claiming he would fetch another card from his car. The owners say the family’s vehicle was parked at a neighbouring care home, and the woman and young girl had already left; police are investigating, but the people involved had not been apprehended as of Sunday evening.
