The customer left a two-star review on Facebook , suggesting her meal should have been cheaper. She said the fish and chips were "lovely", but challenged the Oxton Bar and Kitchen to justify its prices. Restaurant management were more than happy to oblige, defending their prices -and revealing their margin of profit - in a rebuttal that has been celebrated by loyal customers, the Liverpool Echo reports. A Facebook user named Debbie Davies, who posted the review on the restaurant's public page, wrote: 'Lovely food and staff are amazing but I cannot see how you justify your prices, small fish and chips £8 plus and it was small?" The Facebook user left a two-star review for the restaurant (Image: Liverpool Echo) In its sassy response, Oxton Bar and Kitchen, on Wirral, gave an itemised breakdown of exactly how little the restaurant raked in from her £8 meal. The restaurant wrote: 'Ok Debbie. Where do I begin? Out of that £8, our nasty government is charging you 20% vat which we collect by law on their behalf, so we're left with £6.66.

Then we realised the 'lovely' food doesn't float to you, so we have to pay 'amazing' staff to serve you and clear up after you?! Loyal customers have celebrated the restaurant's response (Image: Liverpool Echo) Teens begged to stop eating washing tablets in 'dangerous' new craze 'Pay utility bills (we need gas to cook, you need lights to see the food) and don't get me started on business rates. So if £3.94 is not justifiable for creating and affording this whole experience with){kind=link}
