I have yet to try a Kabob, but if I did, I wouldn’t be spending $1,225 (£750), unless it was made out of gold.

Dubbed this ‘King of Kebabs’ the gastronomic creation, from Chef Andy Bates, is not one for enjoying at 3am on Saturday morning after a night of heavy beer drinking.

The swanky creation comes complete with your typical Champagne infused mint and cucumber yoghurt, micro cress and lettuce, Coeur de Boeuf (Bull’s Heart Tomato)tomatoes and oregano concass along with some Barrel Aged Ewe’s Milk Feta cheese. You can also expect the usual saffron infused flat bread, milk-fed lamb from the Pyrenees and edible gold leaf garnish.
