Chefs are hoping the concept will tempt diners to spend a little more and fight the cost-of-living crisis, The Observer reports.
Linden Stores, in the Cheshire village of Audlem, has started a whole sharing menu of modern British food, with two people sharing seven dishes including charred pepper and Cornish Quartz cheddar croquettes, hake wrapped in wild boar pancetta and chocolate and peanut butter tart.
Laura Christie and her partner, Chris Boustead, relocated the restaurant to the village from London in 2020. She has been surprised by the reaction.
One in seven desserts on restaurant menus is now intended to be shared, according to Lumina Intelligence, a leading research firm, which notes that people are spending 14% less compared with last year. Part of this reduction in spending is the result of people buying main courses only and skipping starters and desserts.
