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?

Tom’s quaint pub, The Hand & Flowers, is described as “rustic and whitewashed” with “haute cuisine with modern twists”.
Those after a decent steak will need to face the prospect of re-mortgaging their homes, considering the whopping price tag!

While Michel doesn’t offer a steak, he does have a cut of veal on the menu, coming in at £48.60.
Gorden Ramsay – £37 steak
Gordon Ramsay has a few restaurants dotted around London, and his latest is named Bread Street Kitchen.
With locations spread across the capital, Gordon’s cooking has proved a popular choice for many diners.
Those looking for a steak can tuck into one for £37, less than half of what Gordon’s rival charges.
Marco Pierre White – £33 steak
Marco Pierre White trained some of the UK’s most renowned chefs, including Gordon Ramsay himself.
The Hell’s Kitchen star owns London Steakhouse Co, where he invites guests to dine on the finest cuts of beef.
