As Tom Kerridge flogs steak for £87, here’s how much his fellow celebrity chefs charge!

Tom has defended the lofty cost

| Updated:

Celebrity chef Tom Kerridge has been slammed for pricing many fans out of dining at his restaurant with his £87 steak.

Tom, who has appeared on shows like The Great British Menu and MasterChef, charges the sky-high price for a cut at his pub in Marlow.

It’s the only pub in the UK with two Michelin stars, but that hasn’t stopped critics from blasting the eye-watering cost.

Tom has defended the price, saying: “Those prices include everything, VAT and service. No additional service charge at all.

“Also I pay staff properly and treat their job as a professional career. Perhaps the real cost of dining should be addressed.

“Unpretentious does not mean cheap.”

But how does it compare to what other celebrity chefs are charging?
