A pub has been criticised by customers who commented on the 'disgusting' extra charge for Yorkshire puddings with their roast dinner.
While dining at the Kicking Donkey, one diner was outraged to being charged an extra £1.50 for a Yorkshire pudding with his roast dinner.
On top of that, a further £1.50 was being asked for extra gravy, which 'Steve O' took great offence to, according to Lancashire Live.

In his Tripadvisor review with the title 'Very disappointed', Steve froths: "Went there for a Sunday roast.
"In all my life I have never been in a restaurant for a roast beef dinner and told it does not include a Yorkshire pudding."
He continues in his only Tripadvisor review: "It costs an extra £1.50 and if you want gravy with that it also costs an extra £1.50.
"Totally disgusted. We will never be going back there. First visit, never again."
According to its Sunday sample menu, one course costs £12.95. Two courses cost £16.95 while three cost £20.95.
The Kicking Donkey, which has a score of 4.5 stars from 285 reviews, quickly replied to Steve in an attempt to justify the extra costs.
Matt F, who the reply post says is the owner of the Kicking Donkey, explains: "Sorry to have upset you so much. The reason we charge for Yorkies and extra gravy is that they're both homemade from scratch.
"This takes time and effort, we don't have the manpower to make a Yorkie for every meal, so we make a batch and when they're gone, they're gone. This seems the fairest way.
"We charge for extra gravy because we put plenty on anyway, in the past people have asked for extra and then it comes back untouched. I believe that the staff's work should be reflected in their pay, and so we do need to charge for things like this. They cost us money to make..."
