Becca Stock had just started the third dish of her huge Wetherspoons order before a 'beer-bellied' punter decided to step in, calling her a 'f**king piglet'
A Wetherspoons punter was caught on camera calling out a TikTok food critic for ordering 20 plates as he branded her a "disgusting piglet". The comment came after Becca Stock had ordered almost all of Wetherspoons' breakfast menu at The Regal pub in Gloucester, Gloucestershire, on Monday, May 19, to rate each dish for her channel.
Footage of her tucking into the third dish of her 20-plate mega meal was interrupted by a "drunk and elderly" man heard declaring how filming "all of that" is "absolutely disgusting". When the 28-year-old TikToker repeatedly asks why, the "horrible" man says "you're just sat there eating like a f**king piglet".

Becca hit back by calling the punter "a disgusting human being" and "the worst person I've ever come across" before alerting staff who were bringing her more food. The manager then reportedly ordered the rude customer to finish his drink and leave, which he did within 10 minutes. The video has since been viewed over three million times.
The full-time content creator said she isn't sure if the "beer-bellied" man, believed to be in his late 60s, was offended by the idea she would eat so much or the possibility of food wastage. She admitted she was shaken and shocked by the "nightmare" incident and struggled to continue her review of the £70 food haul. Becca, from Gloucester, Gloucestershire, said: "I was just shocked and I wasn't going to let someone talk to me like that. I wasn't hurt by it."
She added: "My adrenaline was so high and my heart was beating out of my chest. This was my worst nightmare. I thought he was just walking to go to the garden, then he stopped and started talking to my partner and telling him he doesn't like what he's doing."
Becca said she had experience dealing with hate online and claimed it was clear the punter had been drinking as he was slurring his words, describing him as "drunk and miserable". The content creator added that she and her fiancé, who was filming the content, were sitting in a quiet corner of the pub with around eight plates on their table at the time.
Her dishes included a Traditional full English breakfast, a vegetarian breakfast, savoury muffins, scrambled eggs on toast and fruit with yoghurt. She has since explained that she tries to avoid food wastage as much as possible by using plastic tubs to take away any uneaten food to give to foxes, birds and her dog.

Becca said: "He really shook me up. It was verbal harassment and it was really uncalled for. He could have just enquired and given his opinion. I don't feel like it's anyone else's business. Everyone does things that they want to do and not everybody agrees so just keep yourself to yourself."
She said she was "visibly shaking" after the incident, but didn't report it to the police. The food critic had been asked by her followers to review Wetherspoons' breakfast offerings and decided the night before to film the video.
Her post said: "The staff at The Regal Wetherspoons were amazing and told him to leave after the incident. Gutted I didn't get his face on camera. Some people are so miserable."
‌
Commenters on the video have flocked to support Becca, praising how she handled the situation and complimenting her "well-articulated' response. However, others used the opportunity to criticise influencer culture. One user said: "The risk of filming in public. Everybody's an influencer."
Becca responded to the commenter by saying: "The fact that you think that makes verbal abuse okay is hilarious. I hope karma comes around."
She said to another critic: "If you're sick of influencers, stop using social media. We literally create content for people to consume for free and work hard for it."
