London - As menus go, it sounds more like a gruesome task from I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! than something you would choose to eat.
But bugs of all types including grasshoppers and worms will be served at Britain’s first insect restaurant when it opens this summer.
Grub Kitchen in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, South Wales, will be the UK’s first to focus entirely on insect produce, according to trade magazine The Caterer on Thursday.
Head chef Andrew Holcroft told The Caterer: “We want to pioneer the movement to normalise the eating of bugs on a day-to-day basis.”
It will be part of Dr Benyon’s Bug Farm, where Holcroft’s partner Dr Sarah Kenyon will run insect workshops.
Entomophagy - the human consumption of insects - seems to be getting more popular. Mexican chain Wahaca is selling a dish with crickets at its Covent Garden branch this month and next.
