A SOUTHAMPTON man left two Hampshire restaurants without paying his bill, landing him in court.

Connor Stanley Mayhew, 23, of Ambercrombie Gardens, walked out on a £134 bill at TGI Friday’s in Fareham on April 15, and another at Frankie and Benny’s in Whiteley of £123 on April 21.

At Southampton Magistrates’ Court Mayhew was ordered to pay compensation of £258 as well as £85 costs to the Crown Prosecution Service.

Mayhew committed the offences while serving an eight-week suspended prison sentence for assault, and has had the suspension period extended.
