Top chef sparks fierce cheeseboard debate after calling out customer for expecting 'restaurants to just give food away'

A fierce cheese board debate has emerged after a Manchester chef called out a customer who complained when they were charged extra for butter as ‘expecting restaurants to just give food away’.

Simon Wood, a former MasterChef winner who owns Wood restaurant and cheese bar Homage in the city centre, posted an image on social media from a customer who recently dined at his restaurant and said they were charged when they asked for butter to accompany their cheese board.

The post’s caption said: “When you ask for butter with your cheese and crackers and get charged £2.50 for it. Looks pretty but come on... should be on the board without asking.”
