TV chef Tom Kerridge ridiculed for selling tiny £140 turkey ‘for eight people’ as people joke ‘only if six are vegan’

TOM Kerridge has been ridiculed for selling a tiny Christmas turkey – which he says can feed EIGHT people.

Fans of the TV chef joked it would only go around that amount of guests if six were vegan or if they were all from The Borrowers.

Another quipped it looked so small he could eat it to himself.

The 48-year-old’s free-range Copas turkey breast roast costs a whopping £140 – or £17.50 a head when split between eight.

But the meat join only appears to be 12 slices – just one-and-a-half each.

The chef said the meal kit, which comes with two turkey legs, pigs in blankets, stuffing, bread sauce, gravy and cranberry sauce, was a good way of taking the hassle out of Christmas Day.

He boasted: “Want something a bit quicker and easier than a whole turkey?

“Breast roasts are the perfect combination of fantastic flavour and convenience.

“And this one can serve eight.”

But shocked Phil Hughes, said: “Serves eight, what?! I could eat that myself.”

One fan – called Kelly – joked the eight guests would need to be from the the kids fantasy novel.

She said: “Borrowers.”

Pub landlady Ali Watson-Burge quipped: “I’m guessing by ‘Serves eight’ you mean when six of them are vegan?”

Yet one fan said: “Convenience is crucial at Christmas.”

The listing for the turkey breast on Kerridge’s website reads: “If you are feeding fewer or need something quick and easy to carve then a boneless breast roast is a perfect combination of fantastic flavour and convenience.

“Plus there’s the added bonus of two Turkey legs to give the extra choice of meat. Comes with Pigs in Blankets, Stuffing, Bread Sauce, Gravy and Cranberry Sauce.”

Kerridge is no stranger to controversy.

He was forced to knock £100 off his eat from home Chrismtas packages after a backlash over the price last year.

Three months ago he was blasted for his £12.50 steak cooking charge.

And in September, Kerridge was slammed for charging £87 for sirloin steak at his The Hand and Flowers boozer.

Tom’s representatives have been contacted for comment.
