This restaurant has misunderstood the concept of 'cheese and biscuits'

Brie and custard creams, anyone?

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

A plain cracker can perfectly compliment a range of cheeses, a Jammy Dodger less so.

When Diane Murray ordered cheese and biscuits after a meal at an as yet unnamed restaurant she was brought out a smorgasbord of brie, cheddar and red leicester, along with custard creams, Jammy Dodgers and bourbons.

My favourite thing about this is how elegantly they are arranged, as if the chef was aware something might not be right about the dish and tried to made up for it with presentation pizazz.

"If you need cheering up, here's a photo of the time my stepmum asked for cheese and biscuits at a hotel," daughter Steph Kerr wrote on Twitter alongside many crying with laughter emoji.

Diane has promised to reveal the name of the hotel where the unusual dessert was served in return for Comic Relief donations.
