A top Welsh chef has shared an eye-watering energy bill showing the increasing pressure businesses are facing against rising prices. Tom Simmons who runs his eponymous restaurant in Pontcanna posted a copy of his British Gas bill on Twitter with the total amount for the period of April 1 to April 21 coming in at nearly £13,000.
For the 20-day period, the bill, which the chef said was purely to heat the building came in at £12,990.82. Understandably, the chef expected the bill was incorrect. Sharing it he said: "We've recently transitioned to a fully electric kitchen so this bill is purely for heating our building. Obviously, the bill is wrong but they take this money from your account automatically, so you have to spend 2 hours on hold to rectify it!"
However, a week after posting the initial bill he shared that the unbelievable amount was in fact correct. In response to replies to the revelation, he added that the business' was also facing £7,000 a month in electric bills.
