'I wonder if Porsche get this on the regular' - Chef defends £28 price tag for Sunday roast
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.
The tweet, sent on Sunday morning, scored itself nearly 60,000 views and hundreds of comments, as debate raged over whether the price is too steep.Many chefs came out in support of Allcock, including Luke Payne, who runs the award-winning kitchen at the Pack Horse pub in Hayfield, in Derbyshire. “We’ve just gone up to £25 for a roast, probably going to be pushing £30 come the end of April. Mad times, gets harder to meet people’s expectations,” he said.
The chef and owner of the small restaurant, which has only 22 covers, recently took to social media to vent about abuse he received from a group which had booked in, but arrived with one guest fewer than specified. Allcock said he was ‘sworn and screamed at’ for then not returning all of the group’s deposit for the missing diner.
