Daily MailHeston Blumenthal has hiked the price of Christmas dinner at his Fat Duck restaurant to a staggering £450 per person.

The TV chef, 58, is not offering the festive meal on Christmas Eve, Christmas day or Boxing day The £450 menu includes aerated beetroot, scallops, a short rib of beef, and a black forest gateau And they then get to taste what would usually be the first dishes, the Tonic of Botanicals made of green herbs, Jerusalem artichoke ice cream and smoked cumin royale before the next dish comes out, aerated beetroot.
