DINERS are invited to an evening of utter abuse and insulting hilarity as part of an interactive event at a Kendal pub.

The Duke of Cumberland is hosting a 'Kev and Karen's Diner' event for those willing to be subject to a torrent of verbal abuse.

The night is based off the success of Karen's Diner, an Australian chain of theme restaurants. The restaurant advertises a deliberately unpleasant dining experience, and staff are instructed to insult customers throughout their meal.

Pub bosses said the event is not for the faint-hearted and reminded customers that they will be verbally abused and insulted throughout the evening.

The pub is putting on a special menu for the event, on November 24, and tickets are £5 per table.

To book call between 9am to 5pm on 01539 324040.
