Gary Usher, owner of the White Horse in Churton, took to Twitter to defend his menu prices
A Cheshire pub owner has responded to backlash over the cost of his food after revealing a burger would set his customers back £19.50.
Hitting out at those criticising the £19.50 dry-aged beef burger, which comes with Comté cheese, mustard, relish and pickle with skinny fries, he said: “With the business, I try not to be arrogant about it, ever. I’m not.“But we have to give ourselves a bit of credit for who we are and what we’ve achieved and how we’ve got to where we’ve got.
“And to be told things like you should be comparing it to the business down the road is just ridiculous. That’s not how you price up a menu. Usher goes on to say that those complaining about the pub’s prices don’t have to visit the venue. “We love looking after people, we're in hospitality – it's what we do,” he said.
"It's the same with the burger. It's not for you. If you don't want it that's fine. That menu is an advert for our business, take a look, it is up there for your perusal and social media is a great place to voice your opinions, but you don't always have to.” He also recently revealed he saved the building from being demolished and replaced by flats. The owner said it was a ‘lovely’ feeling to have played a part in keeping the much-loved village boozer going.
