This is doing the rounds on Twitter at the moment.

I wonder if they actually got their sirloins from Asda.

Anti-climax...i was expecting something more exciting.

shame, usually hate pictures of food on twitter feeds but that stuff looks pretty nice!

Wonder what their side of the story is.

Generally if your gonna work a job like that you should do so accepting the fact that except in extraordinary circumstances you shouldn't expect (extra) time off around busy periods especially in the run upto christmas.

Isn't it the chefs job to source produce?

Wouldn't surprise me, their extra special ones are actually very good quality (28 day dry aged). Source: I ate one yesterday

Depends, often it is but the owner/manager will have final say depending on cost.

I feel like I'm missing some story. But if it isn't in the contract and he had holiday left then surely this is dishonourable discharge?

Really? I found it entertained me for at least 5 minutes...

And ultimately he kept quiet and was in on the whole affair while it suited him.

Very funny, but will likely make it difficult for him to get another job.

Dishonorable discharge? Does he work in the military?

Yeah I don't really have any sympathy assuming the whole debacle is true.

I hope he's got proof to back up these claims

Are you looking for "unfair dismissal"?

Hilarious, but this won't end well for him..

Well it's pretty easy to find out one way or another because of the documented business transactions.

Perhaps he meant dishonourable dishcharge.

Clearly he has a real passion for food if he was happy just cooking Asda's finest every day...

Raymond Lin · 15 Dec 2013 at 22:58

If the worst thing he can spill is supermarket bought steaks then the pub has nothing to worry about !

You guys knew what I meant
