Diner furious at £478 bill for 'live lobster' dinner at Chinese restaurant A furious diner has hit out at a Chinese restaurant after being charged a mind-boggling £478 for a "live lobster.".
The diners were informed of the lobster's price beforehand and were warned the cost would vary based on its weight and the market price.
“We didn’t assume the lobster would be cheap, but based on common sense, the typical price per pound is usually around $60-$70 (£49-£57),” she said.
She also accused staff of failing to disclose the price per kilogram, or inform them that the five extra serves of noodles would cost a staggering £7.62 each.
