A restaurant owner has said he will have to start turning off the lights and charging £25 for a curry after his latest energy bill rocketed 500% to £2,250 a month. Boshiur Rahman of the Monsoon Indian Cuisine posted a tongue-in-cheek post on Facebook joking that it would have to start charging "£25 for a chicken tikka masala" after getting his energy bill for August.
Boshiur says his his energy bills were only £400 a month last year and added: "If you see the lights off at Monsoon, please do still come in." Boshiur told DorsetLive: "We've got to somehow dig into reserves and pay the bills. We've got suppliers all throughout the chain, increasing their fees and it's just a snowball effect.
"The end result is bad for the customer because we're having to increase our prices, but at what point do we increase our prices? Is it ridiculous to charge more than £15 for a curry?"
