Don’t scoff...it’s a £150 butty

At £150 it is not your average greasy spoon offering.

Made from rare breed bacon topped with black truffle, it is finished with saffron and a dusting of real gold on the bun.

The snazzy snack – dubbed Bacon Bling – was created by restaurateur Paul Phillips, 41.

He got the idea from TV shows about pimped-up street food in the US, where a New York restaurant sold a hamburger for £2,839.

“I’ve never seen a bacon butty on these shows so I decided to make one,” he said.

Now he hopes he will get into Guinness World Records with the super sarnie, which is on the menu at Tangberry’s in Cheltenham, Glos – with proceeds going to charity.
