A police patrol pulled up outside the mid-terraced property at 6.40pm where the family were eating kebabs and chips around dining tables right next to the path.
One officer asks the group: 'What's going on guys?
'You need to put all this away.
'You know the situation at the moment. Everyone is meant to be in their houses. What's going on here then?'
A man wearing shorts and t-shirt immediately apologised, before telling the officers: 'I will put this in the house.'
In another clip, a female officer approaches two men who had taken a barbell, weights and boxing gloves into a park.
She tells them: 'Guys I know you've come out to exercise but if you've got equipment like you've got with you, you can do that at home, you don't need to be in the park to do it.'
In another example of Covidiots breaking lockdown rules, three young men were caught drinking alcohol outside a Tesco supermarket near New Street Station in Birmingham's city centre.

The officer informed the men that the fact they were using equipment meant they could do the exercise at home
The male officer says: 'Don't sit down mate, whatever you do, don't sit down, put your booze away. Get home.
'I'm guessing you know what the strong advice is? It's law.'
More than 1,429 people have died from Covid-19 in the West Midlands so far making it the worst hit area outside of London.

West Midlands Police say patrols have been targeting people breaking the rules after receiving tip-offs from members of the public online.
A spokesperson said: 'Where we've had reports online of people not following the rules, we've used this information to target our patrols.'
Sergeant Dave Taylor said: 'To police this, which is something we've never had to do before, we're trying to use a common sense approach with people.'
