A restaurant owner tells of added problems caused by dozens of customers not honouring bookings.

Lucy Castle said deposits would be needed at the Braided Fig if things did not improve

However, Lucy Castle, of the Braided Fig in Aberdeen, said no-shows were proving to be a major issue. "From what we're gleaning from other places, it seems what folk have done is booked maybe one or two different venues, or been on a waiting list and not given us the courtesy of letting us know that they're not going to make it, so that we we can call out waiting list and let them know."She said there were "no coffers with lots of money in it" and they have, in effect, been closed for a year.
