Mrs Browns Bakery Faces Backlash Over Price Increase

Mrs Browns, a popular bakery in Plymouth, has faced criticism after raising the prices of its seasonal menu. The owner, Georgie Rowe, explained on Facebook that the price hike was necessary due to skyrocketing electricity bills and the lack of profit from the previous year. She expressed her frustration at having to increase prices but emphasized the need for businesses to make a profit to survive. Georgie also highlighted the rising costs of food, boxes, wages, and rent. Despite the price increase, she expressed gratitude to customers for their support and apologized to those who found the prices too high. The bakery is known for its famous ‘Fat Santa’ item, which is described as a whole roast dinner on a plate. Georgie assured customers that the Fat Santas are worth the price and thanked them for their understanding and kindness.
