A Dublin restaurant has hit out at an 'influencer' who didn't show up for a free meal they promised to promote.
This week a Dublin food influencer contacted us unashamedly asking for a free meal. we don’t usually do this kind of thing but we reckoned that during this pandemic and looking down the barrel of four more months being closed, any publicity is great....

Chimac is urging people to consider the jobs involved with small businesses.
We prepared a large meal to feed four at the specified time. The influencer never turned up or contacted us. 😭 We won’t name names but if you’re an influencer we urge you to consider the small businesses with livelihoods on the line - a lil respect goes a long way! #supportlocal

It says the 'influencer' 'unashamedly' contacted the restaurant asking for a free meal, and the chicken outlet on Aungier Street prepared food for four people.
Thanks so much for all the support today everyone - some very kind words that are much appreciated. 🥰🥰 The person in question has been in touch with an apology which we’ve accepted. PS the food found a great home via some happy deliveroo drivers, fret not!! ☮️

In a tweet, it says the person has since apologised and the food found a good home.
