While labelling calories on menus is now a legal requirement for many restaurant firms in the UK, the law change has been heavily criticised by eating disorder charities, restauranteurs, chefs and food critics.
Manchester restaurant Dishoom jumped to the rescue when one customer wanted a menu without the calorie detail this week.
A female customer asked the staff for a menu without the calories listed but was told that they didn’t have one – so one of her waiters took a pen and scribbled them all off for her.
The customer shared an image of the amended menu to Twitter, and praise for the restaurant was fast and widespread and picked up plenty of positive media coverage, too.
