La Peniche on the Grand Canal says it was surprised by the "cheeky" mail, saying it's a small business and that freebies or big discounts in these times are hard to justify.

"In the past we would have done stuff and we would approach people," said Ben who works with the restaurant.
"But these times, we have very little tables with social distancing. The last thing we want to do is give a table away for nothing, in a sense or a discount when we have to pay staff."
