A diner was left fuming after spotting a £28 hidden charge on their bill But despite the already expensive cuisine they were shocked to see that it wasn’t the final amount when preparing to pay. A hefty service charge worth $48 (£28) was added in a tiny font towards the foot of the receipt from the eatery. The annoyed diner claimed there was no reference to a surcharge on the menu which they had double-checked.
