A diner who blamed a 'runaway truffle' after slipping in high heels while exiting a Michelin Guide-listed restaurant has lost her fight for £100,000 compensation.
Rosina Malik, 62, twisted her ankle and broke her right wrist when she fell at the fine dining restaurant Chapter One, in Farnborough Common, Kent.
She tumbled as she attempted to stand to adjust her dress at the end of a three-course dinner with two friends.
She blamed her accident on stepping on a 'runaway' caramel-filled chocolate truffle as she got up from her chair - saying the errant dessert had been 'dropped but not retrieved' by a waiter.
Mrs Malik, of South Croydon, sued the restaurant's owners, Simply Chapters Ltd, for up to £100,000 in damages over the impact of the October 2020 accident.
