- Michelin-starred chef Adam Handling reported that guests at his Tartan Fox pub near Newquay, Cornwall, allowed their dogs to attack chickens and their children to smash fertilised eggs.
- The incident, which occurred during last week's Sunday lunch service, resulted in the deaths of several chickens and the destruction of about 30 to 40 fertilised eggs.
- Handling, a former Masterchef: The Professionals finalist, expressed his disappointment and hurt in an Instagram video, describing the guests as “evil” and the children as “selfish little brats”.
- He criticised the parents for permitting such behaviour, saying that it “says more about the parents than the child”.
- In response to the damage, the pub is implementing new security measures, including installing cameras and motion sensors in the chicken coop, and adding more signage.
