An X influencer, @OBA_EVENTS_UK, shared details of the occurrence on social media.
In the X post, he said the celebrant and her guests were asked for payments after eating at the restaurant.
Birthday guests refuse to pay restaurant bills
When asked for payments, the celebrant reportedly told her guests that they would foot their bills.
The guests declined because they claimed they weren't informed about such a payment plan before the dinner.
This caused commotion at the restaurant, and the manager had to call the police.
The post read:
“So someone had a birthday dinner last weekend and ended up in police station in Manchester , happened that she invited over 40 guests to her birthday dinner.
“When it was time for payment she announced on table that everyone would pay for their meals, which her guests declined saying why didn’t she inform them prior to the dinner, wahala happened, fight and scream with the friends, restaurant manager called the police.
“Now my question is why invite people for your birthday dinner and ask them to pay, or rather why not tell them prior to time that they would be paying?”
In the comment section, the X influencer revealed that the celebrant and her guests were all Nigerians.

Legit.ng compiled some of the reactions.
@DHKRULLAH said:
“Reminds me of a time I went for dinner with work colleagues. I had a budget in mind and I ordered based on my budget. Time to pay and I was hearing “let’s split the bills” I blamed myself not ordering starters and more drinks like the others did.”
@NsikakChi said:
“Not telling them prior to the event was an intentional attempt cos she knows if she had done the right thing na only few people go turn up. So the celebrant played them into thinking it's free food and drinks like we do in 9ja.”
@ADEKOYASUBOMI said:
“I won’t bother to go if I won’t be willing to pay. If you invite me to your house to merry with you, I will definitely be on guard financially because anything can happen. This is UK, no be Naija.”
