Would you remind this couple to pay and how not to make awkward?

A couple we know (our DC are friends). OurDC took part in a competition recently and afterwards we went to a restaurant for lunch / drinks. 4 adults and 4DC. My DH paid on the day and said let’s sort it out afterwards as there was a massive queue at the bar where you had to pay. The bill was £230. My DH forgot to text them bank details and they didn’t remember either. Nearly 2 weeks have gone by. Do you think it’s rude to send a text saying we just remembered and asking for their half? To add - they have expressed they are hard up at the moment!

If not rude / awkward then how would you phrase it?

'Hi x parent, sorry I've not got back to you sooner but really enjoyed our lunch the other week! Here are our bank details, your half of the meal was £x, please let me know once you've sent it (smiley face)'

Perfect

Why couldn't 2 people queue up?
