A Valentine's Day couple gorged on steak, lobster and "numerous bottles of wine" at a Stokesley pub - then left without paying.
The pair racked up a "hefty" bill at The Mill on Monday night, before walking out.
The pub's owners warned the couple they had been caught on camera and gave them a deadline to cough up the cash before going to the police.

But later, the venue confirmed they still hadn't paid up.
The award-winning pub posted on Tuesday: "To the lovely couple that racked up a hefty bill consisting of fillet steak and lobster, numerous bottles of wine….
"Whilst we’re sure it was an honest mistake on your part that you left without paying, please pay your bill by 4 o clock today.
"You were sat opposite a camera and the CCTV couldn’t be clearer.
"Happy Valentines, eh."
Later they added they had made contact with the couple, who had promised to pay - but "sadly", they had still not settled the bill.
"We’ve been assured it will be paid tomorrow when he gets paid," the Facebook post added.
"Let’s see what tomorrow brings!"
Posters on social media have condemned their actions as "absolutely shocking."
"If they do pay," one lady wrote, "I hope they leave a substantial tip lol.
"Cheek of it, going for a meal and not paying."
But others have questioned why the couple ate there without having the funds in the first place.
"When he gets paid?," one poster wrote, "so he had no intention of paying wow just wow."
"Why would you go out for a meal two days before you get paid if you can't afford it?," another added.
"I really hope they do the right thing."
