  • The incident, which occurred during last week's Sunday lunch service, resulted in the deaths of several chickens and the destruction of about 30 to 40 fertilised eggs.
  • Handling, a former Masterchef: The Professionals finalist, expressed his disappointment and hurt in an Instagram video, describing the guests as “evil” and the children as “selfish little brats”.

  • In response to the damage, the pub is implementing new security measures, including installing cameras and motion sensors in the chicken coop, and adding more signage.
