James Corden can 'eat for free' for a decade if he apologises to restaurant staff.

Earlier this week, the owner of  a New York restaurant banned Corden from the premises as he labeled the star as the 'most abusive customer' after alleged incidents between him and the restaurant's staff.

Keith McNally is the owner of the high-profile restaurant Balthazar in Manhattan, New York.

McNally took to his Instagram on Monday to share details of the alleged incidents in which he said Corden was a “hugely gifted comedian” but a “tiny cretin of a man”

He added: “I don’t often 86 a customer. today I 86’d Corden. It did not make me laugh.”

Eighty-six-ing a customer is a colloquial term which typically means to stop serving a person, or to kick them out of an establishment.

The next day, McNally took to his Instagram again to say he was revoking the ban because he received an apologetic call from Corden.

He said in the post that he "strongly believes in second chances"

The chat show host was later interviewed by the New York Times, which had been planned before the spat. In the interview he said he did “nothing wrong”

“I feel so zen about the whole thing. Because I think it’s so silly. I just think it’s beneath all of us. It’s beneath you. It’s certainly beneath your publication.”

McNally took to his Instagram for the third time to respond to Corden's claims of no wrong doing by offering him free food for 10 years if he 'apologises to the two servers he insulted.'
