Leeds boys asking if '£9 is enough to share pizza and water' given huge treat by Salute At The White Swan

A group of boys who came to a Leeds restaurant asking if £9 would be enough to share a pizza with water were thrilled when they were treated to a slap-up meal instead.

Will, aged 12, Charlie, 13 and Leo, 13, went into Salute in Rothwell after getting hungry on a rainy weekend day together.

The Rodillian Academy classmates went to the restaurant with a 'mature attitude' which was promptly rewarded by the pub staff with extra food on the house.

In a post on Facebook, the restaurant said: "They came to salute today asking for a table of 3. They said they had £9 and asked if that would be ‘enough’ for a pizza and water to share.

"In exchange for their mature attitude to dining out, Salute treated them to extra fries and extra pizza.

"Will took his baby sister the left over pizza & breadsticks!

Leo, Will and Charlie were rewarded for their mature attitude by Salute staff (Salute at the White Swan)

"I hope their parents see this post as they should be SO proud !"

Leo's mum Lucy-Rae Prince told LeedsLive: "Leo goes there a lot with his grandma and the manager and owner have always been amazing, so maybe that’s why they went there.

"But how they treat the boys was just above and beyond wasn’t it!

"We’re so proud of Leo and his friends for being so polite and well mannered, and for it to be recognised in such a lovely way by salutes was just amazing for all of us.

"Hopefully it will show other kids that manners really do go far.

"We had no idea about it until the manager called from the restaurant!!

"She said ‘are you leos parents this is salutes’ so we thought the worst like you do, but then she said that she wanted to tell us how amazing they’d been.

"I know the other mums so we have all been amazed by the reaction from this and really appreciate the lovely comments."
