Why would you feel encountering a snake at a place where you’re supposed to unwind and have a meal?

It actually happened at a restaurant where dozens of diners were forced to cut their dinner short after a giant snake suddenly dropped from the ceiling and landed on their table.

It was not clear where the footage was filmed.

The absolutely terrifying reptile somehow managed to emerge out of the ceiling tiles by slithering through a hole.

Shocking footage shows the diners sat below looking visibly scared as a team of wildlife experts enter the building.

The snake was then controlled with the aid of a metal hook around its body.
