Takeaway delivered to wrong address

[Bassmansam]

Ordered a kebab and the driver delivered to the wrong address and the person at the house accepted it. We got our replacement soon after but i’m wondering can the restaurant bill the person who got a free meal or is that person legally ok to accept something they didn’t pay for.

i think its very cheaky to accept
Something you didn’t pay for.

Accepting could mean leaving it on the doorstep, pressing the doorbell and walking away.

I'd just be happy that you got your replacement hopefully with little hassle.

oh yeah i understand these things happen; we have ordered from the same place loads and this is the first problem we have had. I’d be ****** if i was the owner and had lost money on a delivery though!
