A cheesed-off customer was left fuming when a pub served her a “grim” £18 Camembert – after discovering it costs just £2.75 in Tesco.
Amy Hilton couldn’t believe her eyes when she flipped the item upside down to see the branding of the food.
The cheese turned out to be Cricket St Thomas British Camembert, which the cabin crew worker found online being sold for far less in the supermarket.

Sharing her outrage online, the 26-year-old’s video has racked up over one million views and a whopping 16,700 likes.
“That was the worst starter we have ever had,” Amy, from Kent, told What’s The Jam.
“I would never ever order it again.
“The bread was a cut-up burger bun too, not the sourdough they state in the menu and the chutney was gross.
“Not another daylight robbery, at least cover it up.”

Amy was dining at the Devonshire pub on Balham road in south west London.
She and her pals sat down for a meal when they ordered the Camembert to share as a starter on 8 Feb.
The £2.75 item has a 3.3 star rating on the supermarket’s site – with some reviews describing it as a “poor product” and “vile”.

Amy added: “We mentioned it to the staff but they shrugged their shoulders and kind of laughed.
“The overall main meals were also cold and had no flavour.”
A spokesperson for the Devonshire pub stated: “Young’s is proud to source British produce, and this Camembert comes from a Somerset-based producer that serves a variety of customers, including supermarkets.
“Retail and hospitality operate under very different models, and pricing reflects those differences, including VAT, preparation, service, and the overall premium pub environment our guests enjoy.
“We’re committed to delivering a high-quality experience and value all guest feedback.”
