A chef has come out in defence of charging £28 for the Sunday roast at his restaurant. James Allcock, who runs the Pig & Whistle in Beverley outside Hull, and previously worked for Gary Usher’s Burnt Truffle on The Wirral, tweeted at the weekend that he expected some blowback online for putting his prices up.
“I’m really looking forward to the abuse about our £28 for a roast dinner,” he said. “I wonder if Porsche get this on the regular. Like, accidentally bought a Porsche the other day, didn’t notice price tag, can’t believe it. Rip off.”
