Staff are becoming increasingly frustrated with the Korean pensioners, with many of them arriving as early as 5 am at the restaurant and often staying until after dark.

Four calls have been made to the local police since November to remove the group, which has been coming to the restaurant for more than five years.
But as soon as the police leave, some of the elderly group return.
