'I tried UK's cheapest Michelin Star restaurant and price left me gobsmacked'
A man dined at the UK's most affordable Michelin-starred restaurant and was taken aback by how much it cost. The sought-after Michelin Star is given by the Michelin Guide to restaurants that deliver exceptional food, with venues earning one, two, or three stars depending on the level of excellence.
With more than 100 Michelin-starred restaurants across the UK, many assume dining at one means spending a small fortune but content creator Callum Ryan proved that's not always true. Callum, who's built a following of 1.1 million and racked up 49.2 million likes on TikTok, is known for sharing his food adventures and travel stories on the platform.
One of his latest TikTok videos focuses on his review of The Coach in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, a one-star Michelin pub run by renowned chef Tom Kerridge.
Callum exclaimed: "I went to the cheapest Michelin Star restaurant in the UK and you won't believe how much it cost."
He tucked into a lunch set menu, starting with a tomato salad with burrata and basil pesto and declared: "I know you're going to think I'm exaggerating but this was probably the best salad I've ever had.
"It was genuinely perfect. The only thing I would change is the portion sizes, I just wanted so much more but I can't get over how cheap this was."
Moving onto the main course, he enjoyed a smoked chicken macaroni cheese, finding the topping "kind of chewy" but otherwise praising the dish for its creamy richness, dubbing it a "really, really good main."
Callum gave the pasta dish he sampled an impressive eight out of ten, before tucking into a delightful lemon posset for dessert.
He enjoyed the sweet treat so much that he considered returning to The Coach just to have it again.
In his final verdict, Callum praised the meal's quality, presentation, and service, all of which he rated a perfect ten out of ten.
He revealed that the two-course meal would have set him back a mere £15, adding: "Of course, I went for three courses and the whole thing cost me £22.50 so I'd highly recommend that you go and check it out."
His TikTok clip has racked up 104,200 views, more than 2,000 likes, and sparked dozens of comments.
Some critics took issue with the portion sizes, with one remarking: "Looks great but kids size portions." Another seconded: "Cheap because such small portions."
A third chimed in with: "That will never fill you up." However, not all feedback was negative, with some users praising the eatery, with comments like "the breakfast there is even better", "looks lush", "I love this place" and "love that."
The Michelin Guide also highlights other affordable options at Michelin Star restaurants, such as Bulrush in Bristol, which offers a six-course tasting menu from Tuesday to Thursday early evening for £65, or Le Champignon Sauvage in Cheltenham, where diners can enjoy a three-course dinner from Wednesday to Friday for £47.

Just 1% of people can find the elephant hidden in incredibly hard optical illusion
A mind-bending optical illusion has left people scratching their heads as they try to spot the hidden elephant in the image - but can you see it? This mind-boggling puzzle has left social media users completely baffled. The cartoon featuring an elephant hunter has his quarry concealed in full view. The head-scratching optical illusion was posted by puzzle guru Hectic Nick on TikTok, challenging his followers to crack the riddle of the vanishing elephant. Sharing online, he declared: "Only one percent of people can find the hidden elephant in this image. It's not easy, but try flipping your phone over and you might be able to find it." In other related news, only geniuses can spot sneaky chicken amid flock of sheep in 8 seconds or less. The picture presents quite the conundrum to crack. These riddles mess about with how our minds and vision process information and the manner in which we decode what we see. Beyond being an entertaining test, brainteasers examine your awareness whilst bamboozling your brain away from its regular patterns, compelling you to take another look at what you're genuinely observing, reports the Mirror. Cracking this puzzle requires a sharp eye for specifics. The scene depicts a woodland setting complete with foliage and vegetation, plus a hunter pursuing his target through the timber. Should you clock the elephant immediately, you're amongst the elite 1% of observers. Can you locate the creature? No worries if you can't - most folk find it tricky to spot initially. Perhaps with a hint, you'll manage to discover it. Right then, the entire elephant isn't visible in the scene, merely a portion of it. Should that still prove unhelpful, you can continue reading for the solution. With enough scrutiny, you might notice that the elephant was lurking in the front section, with the two substantial trees serving as its limbs and the slender tree functioning as its trunk. Meanwhile, if you enjoyed that, give the Sailor's Wife puzzle a whirl. At first glance, an image might appear to be one thing, but when viewed from a different perspective, it can unveil itself as something entirely different upon closer inspection. These illusions occur due to how our brains process visual information in diverse ways, challenging our perception. This vintage snap of a sailor searching for his wife is a prime example of such a conundrum. She's hidden somewhere within the frame, but it's said that only 1% of folks can spot her in under 15 seconds.

An elderly steward has gone viral after she was spotted dancing and singing along to Oasis at Murrayfield, with fans branding her a 'hero' and calling for a pay rise Following the Ticketmaster battle that left countless Scottish fans devastated after missing out on Oasis tickets this weekend, one fortunate steward managed to enjoy the sold-out gig for nothing whilst having an absolute blast during her shift.

The touching footage of the elderly staff member grooving to various songs throughout the night was shared online by user beckysuthx, who captioned the clip: "Can we find out who's Nan this is working at the Oasis concert in Edinburgh?"

The steward isn't the only supporter to have gone online following Oasis' sold-out Murrayfield performances this weekend. Another fan, who was seen having a fantastic time, has also become an internet sensation in touching scenes that have even caught the attention of Liam Gallagher himself. The lad nearly stole the limelight during Oasis' rendition of Slide Away as he put on his own passionate performance on the pitch for those seated in the stands above him. At one point, he tosses his bucket hat to the crowds in the stands while extending his arms and spinning around. Another heartwarming moment sees him leap into the arms of another concert-goer while still singing and gesturing to the fans above him. The clip has gone viral with over 580k views and Liam Gallagher himself re-sharing the moment which he labelled as "biblical". Oasis are scheduled to play one final night in the Capital on Tuesday evening before heading to Dublin after their three-night stint at Murrayfield. Their comeback to Edinburgh this weekend marked their first performance in Scotland in over 16 years and the fans certainly showed it.
