A woman has branded Gino D'Acampo 's Christmas dinner a "rip off" - after being served a meal that tasted like a 'salty leather shoe'.
TikTok star Ashley claims that she went out to the Leeds restaurant and ordered a turkey meal which she expected to come with 'all the trimmings', but she was disappointed as she was served 'just turkey'.
In her video, Ashley @east_shore_home said she paid £17.95 for her meal, and judging by the menu it looks like she ordered the Turkey Saltimbocca, which comes with parma ham, marsala wine, and sage.
The festive menu for the chain run by the celebrity chef also says that sides are available 'for an additional cost'.
After sharing the video online, one viewer said that the restaurant was known for quality rather than quantity, then Ashley replied saying the meal tasted "like a salty leather shoe".

Replying to another commenter, she added: "You think they'd ask if you wanted any sides before it ordered," and said they ordered a side of chips for £4.50 to accompany the meal after it arrived.
She told outraged commenters that she attended the restaurant with eight other people for a Christmas party so they had to pre-order, adding: "When you see the price and turkey on the menu, we just assumed it came with all the trimmings."
In the video, Ashley is sitting in the restaurant, and she zooms in on the meal that was served to them.
On the plate, which appears to be covered in gravy, is a small turkey breast next to a few leaves, and the woman sitting next to Ashley looks particularly disappointed.
Over the video, which was captioned 'rip off!' was a description which read: "When you're at Gino D'acampo restaurant and pay £17.95 for turkey expecting all the trimmings. Just turkey it is!"
Other TikTok users soon commented on the video, which was viewed more than 500,000 times, and most people agreed that posh restaurants charge too much for what they offer.

Another wrote: "Welp, looks like it's time to scream at the teenage waitress."
While another said: "Turkey is unbelievably cheap, it's cheaper than chicken."
And a fourth added: "Go to Wetherspoons then?"
