A restaurant owner said his heart broke when he saw what a mum and her four kids ordered to eat. The incident showed Joe Worrall, 34, the difficulties some families are facing in the cost of living crisis - and has made him change how his business operates.
Mr Worrall, 34, is one of the owners of Blackdoor Bar & Bistro, in West Derby, Liverpool said that the woman came in and ordered one plate of small pancakes off the children’s menu on June 2. The mum and four children asked for more forks and began sharing the two small pancakes on the plate - a sight Joe said made his ‘heart pull’.
He asked why they hadn’t ordered more to be told it was a treat for the children who were off for half term, but she was “struggling really bad with the cost of living”, the Liverpool Echo reported. He explained: “It was around 9.10am and a woman came in with her four kids. We have quite a playful menu with a kids menu and she ordered small pancakes from it.
