Customer fumes after being charged £32 for scrambled egg on single slice of toast in London café
A DISAPPOINTED customer felt let down when she was charged £32 for a SINGLE slice of toast and scrambled eggs.
The “tasteless truffles” and basic portion size left this woman fuming after visiting a fancy London restaurant.
No amount of shaved truffles could make up for the fact that this dish was £32[/caption]
However the French toast went down a treat[/caption]
Speaking to her followers on TikTok, @Boujiefoodie93 shared her shocking experience.
She said in the clip: “This is the most expensive scrambled egg on toast I have ever had.
“No amount of shaved truffles can make up for the fact that this toast is £32 each.
“The toast itself was good but we could barely taste any of the truffle.”
The content creator also opted for the French toast – which garnered more praise than the eggs.
Served with a generous helping of cream and compote, the sweet and savoury breakfast was a hit.
Another “extremely delicious” item on the menu proved to be an apple Fanno croissant which was immaculately presented.
“Overall I feel the sweet pastries are worth their price but not their scrambled egg toast,” the Boujie Foodie concluded.
The TikToker and her friend ended up forking out £180 to pay the full bill, including drinks.
A set three-course lunch at the plush restaurant will set you back £54, while sides cost an extra £9.
But mains a la carte can cost up to £54 on their own, and one starter selection is priced at £32.
If you fancy some Beluga caviar, the large portion comes in at £495.
This comes as other people sample some of the most expensive eateries in London.
Horrified customers accused one bakery, dubbed Britain’s most expensive, of “daylight robbery”.
Cédric Grolet has been slammed by outraged visitors who were shocked to find cookies would set them back £25 after the menu prices were kept hidden.
And Dior has also been criticised for the price of their sweet treats – at £70 for a box of nine gingerbread biscuits
Elsewhere in the world, one holidaymaker was disgusted when his two tequilas, two beers, and six prawns came to a total of £360.
An apple Fanno croissant was also a hit[/caption]
The total bill came to £180 for two people, including drinks[/caption]

Billy Graham dead at 79: WWE Hall-of-Famer dies ‘surrounded by family’ after being taken off life support
FORMER WWWF Heavyweight Champion “Superstar” Billy Graham died on Wednesday at age 79 after a months-long health battle.
Sixteen-time world champion Ric Fair tweeted that Graham – real name, Eldridge Wayne Coleman – had “left us.”
For years, Graham has been in and out of the hospital[/caption]
“THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR INFLUENCE On My Career!” Flair wrote.
Graham’s family told TMZ that he died after being taken off life support with his wife and daughter by his side.
Following the news of Graham’s death, fans and fellow wrestlers shared tributes to the star’s career.
Two-time WWE Hall of Fame inductee, X-Pac shared a photo of a much-younger Graham.
“This is the version of Superstar Billy Graham I got to see in FL,” he wrote. “He would come out to Kung Fu Fighting & I loved it! RIP to the most copied man ever in Pro Wrestling.”
Fellow hall of fame, The Iron Sheik shared a photo of him and Graham on Twitter, writing: “SUPERSTAR BILLY GRAHAM. ONE OF MY FIRST TEACHERS OF THE HEAT. THE REAL LEGEND BUBBA. HE LOVE ME I LOVE HIM. TOGETHER WE HIT THE GYM AND SHOCK THE EARTH. I LOVE YOU FOREVER BROTHER. RIP.”
“Superstar” Billy Graham started out as a bodybuilder, winning competitions as a teenager before training under iconic wrestler and trainer, Stu Hart.
He appeared in Hart’s promotion, Stampede Wrestling on January 16, 1970, in a match against Dan Kroffat.
At first, he performed under his real name but soon adopted the name Billy Graham – modeled after the famous evangelist of the same name.
Over time, he crafted his flamboyant persona which he became known for, becoming a fan favorite with his entertaining interviews.
Graham made his in-ring debut for the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF), now known as World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), in October 1975 in a tag-team match with Spiros Arion.
Together, the duo defeated then-WWWF Heavyweight Champion Bruno Sammartino and Dominic De Nucci.
The highlight of his career was on April 30, 1977 after Graham beat Sammartino for the WWWF World Heavyweight, now known as the WWE Championship.
Graham ended Sammartino’s over 1,000-day reign, holding the title for nearly 300 days before he was defeated by Bob Backlund at Madison Square Garden on February 20, 1978.
Pro Wrestling Illustrated named him the Most Hated Wrestler of 1973, before giving him Match of the Year accolades for his bouts with Sammartino and Backlund.
His career served as an inspiration to several wrestlers, many who he trained including Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Scott Steiner, and Jesse Ventura.
In 2004, Graham was inducted into the 2004 WWE Hall of Fame by Ventura.
Over the years, Graham’s body dealt with major health issues, starting in 2002 when he received a liver transplant after being diagnosed with cirrhosis.
Again, he was diagnosed with liver issues in 2010 and was told he would only have a year to live without another transplant.
At this time, Graham famously reserved a burial spot at the Green Acres Cemetery in Scottsdale, Arizona, next to the late Eddie Guerrero.
By 2012, Graham was diagnosed with third-stage liver disease and cirrhosis and spent several years in and out of the hospital.
Earlier this year, in January, Graham was hospitalized after being diagnosed with an ear and skull infection.
He sold his WWE Hall of Fame ring to pay for medicine after he had a liver transplant.
He is survived by his wife, Valerie, whom he married in 1978.
Graham also had two children from a previous marriage, daughter Capella and son Joey, whose godfather was wrestler, Dusty Rhodes.
‘URGENT PRAYERS’
Before his death, Graham’s wife revealed that doctors recommended pulling the plug but she refused.
She asked his fans for “urgent prayers” amid his deteriorating health, writing on Facebook: “Please urgent prayers needed for my husband.
“The doctors wanted to remove him from life support tonight. I refused.
“He’s a fighter and his will is strong even if his body isn’t. God is our hope.”
At the time, Flair wrote about the impact that Graham had on him and several other wrestlers.
“So Sad To Hear About Billy Graham’s Health!! Make No Mistake- Talk About The Influence He Made On ME And So Many Others! Hulk, Dusty Etc,” he wrote.
“You’re Beautiful. Bonnie Dyed My Hair In 1972!! Stay Strong My Mentor! FYI- You And Dusty Rhodes Were My Heroes! You Made Me!”

Overwatch 2’s PvE Hero Mode Is Being Scrapped, Blizzard Explains What Happened and Why
Overwatch is a game that rose from the ashes of Titan, an ambitious MMO that Blizzard pulled the plug on. In the wake of this decision, developers at the studio reworked ideas they had for Titan into what would become Overwatch, a hero-based multiplayer shooter that was critically acclaimed and hugely successful. Blizzard’s Team 4 is no stranger to picking up the pieces of a shattered project, but this process has been kept behind closed doors. The Blizzard way was to keep games out of public view until they were ready to be seen and to release them only when they were as close to the ideal vision as they could possibly be. That isn’t the way anymore–not for Overwatch 2 anyway.
When the sequel to Overwatch was announced at BlizzCon 2019–where the game was also playable–it was with the promise of a PvE Hero component that would allow players to gather their squads and play through a narrative-driven multiplayer experience. On top of that, each of the heroes that they’d come to know and love would be reworked for PvE and given progression systems that would allow players to unlock new talents. It was an ambitious new mode that, in many ways, was used to justify the “2” at the end of the title.
Now, however, Blizzard has confirmed that the promised PvE Hero component will not be released at all. In a video, game director Aaron Keller and executive producer Jared Neuss said that the team had made the decision to take the PvE elements of Overwatch 2 in a different direction and detailed a roadmap for upcoming seasons that reveal a new hero, maps, rebalances, and a number of story-focused additions.
