I think you're talking shit.
I agree that in principal I want to pay for my meal, but at the same time I believe that if you're 'entering' into the agreed 'contract' with a restaurant (ie. a meal and all the services provided to your table), the actual provision of a bill should be available from the restaurant without making the person offering payment having to make an effort! I realise I'm using posher words to say something completely normal!
Also, knowing how shit the service in places like these is, compared to the actual quality and service, I would be happy to say f*** you to the owners who charge the prices but aren't willing to employ enough staff to bring the bill (or anything else for that matter) on time. I might leave a tip for the poor fucker who is probably left to wait on half the restuarant though!

£1.50 for a pint of Guinness in Walkabout is an absolute steal.

2 factors in this offer lead me to believe this is not good value:
1. It is Guiness - the MOST overrated beer in the world.
2. It is in Walkabout - the WORST place to drink in the world.

Technically thats theftbut its also bloody stupid of the restaurant
Not if you leave your name and address on a piece of paper on the table.
It only becomes theft if you do not have the money or credit cards to pay for it.
Once had a a chap had a party of 12 ate in a hotel I was working at, with my stocktaking company, who just got up and walked out. The manager called OB and the organiser of the party said when they arrived ' why are you here it is nothing to do with you as I have the money to pay for it, it is a civil matter between me and the owner', the OB agreed and told the manager he would have to sue him for the money. End of the story was the company wrote to the chap and asked him to pay for the meal and he sent them £5,
The chap didnt even ask for or look at the bill and obviously had done it before and had no inention of paying. He had a large motor cruiser boat tied up outside on the River Thames this was in Wargrave Berkshire.

Fair enough, all about opinions I suppose.
1. Guinness isn't beer its stout and is never as overrated as Stella, Fosters and Carlsberg with a soapy aftertaste. Guinness separates the men from the boys
2. I know Walkabout isn't the greatest place to drink but the prices do determine your choice of destination. Having seen prices of upmarket places to drink the prices are extortionate, costing £7.40 for a pint of Guinness but then again some like to associate themselves with city boys and yuppy girls rather then the riff-raff of society.

Yeah but you're only a PCSO
Just to clarify and for the avoidance of future doubt for all, its called 'theft of services' if you leave a restaurant without paying.Irrespective of whether an attempt to pay was made or not.
A civil matter would occur if you are dissatisfied with the food or service you received.
I learnt this during my short and probationary time on the bench.
PCSO eh? A post you could only ever dream to aspire to
And sorry Tim but you are wrong.** Pedant alert - sorry **
Its not theft and certainly not theft of services at all. When you order a meal you are paying for material goods not services and in this country there is no such offence as 'Theft of Services' and there never has been, I think you took the first option on your wikipedia search there Tim and found an American piece of law! We used to have the offence of 'Obtaining services by deception' but that wouldn't apply in this case and anyway its been repealed and replaced by the relatively new and broader offence of Fraud as per the Fraud Act 2006. Finally, TLO had no intention to 'permanently deprive' the restaurant of payment since he had reasonably tried to do so, so without that intention there is no theft.
Your short and probationary time on the bench eh? What park was that in?
