A group of four women and their children devoured £300 worth of steaks and cocktails before brazenly walking out without paying. Cheers opened in Norwich in January after success in their two other branches in Thetford and Bury St Edmunds. The steak restaurant describes itself as "a different concept of dining" and "a unique style restaurant ". A message on it's website reads: "The goal of Cheers is to make every guest experience a great and exciting one and to serve good quality food. It’s a great place for almost any occasion, providing you an excellent service with professional and friendly customer service while making the experience memorable."

Speaking to The Sun Andrea said: "They need to be accountable because it just cannot keep happening. we have a lot that we need to do every single day. We are new to Norwich. "We opened in January, so it’s still new. We still try to bring people in. The first few months is always a struggle. There’s always a lot going and then things like that happen. It’s frustrating and really sad. What kind of model are they for their children?" A Norfolk Police spokesperson said: "Police are releasing CCTV images of four women they would like to speak to in connection with a theft.
