A BRITISH restaurant owner has been forced to apologise after diners received a bill with an abusive and sexually explicit message.
Ten friends dining at Joe Delucci's Italian restaurant in Lichfield found the message "suck my d**k f**k face" above their order for fish cakes, the BBC online reported.
There was no charge for the sexually explicit item.
Diner Clare Watkin told the BBC she thought the item on the bill may have been in response to the group complaining about poor service.
"I couldn't believe it. The bill read 'fish cakes', which one of us had for a starter, and it was written right above it - absolutely disgusting language," Ms Watkin said.
"I think that the way that we've been spoken to is absolutely outrageous."
"We actually booked the table for 8 o'clock in the evening, by the time they had taken our order it was quarter to nine and we didn't actually receive our food until quarter past 10."
Restaurant owner Nigel Langsdon told the BBC the message was meant to be seen only by kitchen staff.
"That shouldn't come out on the bill, so we've got to find out what's gone wrong there," Mr Langsdon said.
"But we have apologised unreservedly to the girls concerned and said that they're very welcome to come back and have a free meal and we'd like them to."
