It’s on their full menu [here](http://www.jestersdiner.com/menu), and it is indeed 15 quid.

I’m sure they have a stipulation that you can’t share the thing, or if you do each person partaking is charged the fifteen.

Well I guess I’m a bit out of touch with greasy spoon prices, because it’s actually £6.25 for a standard breakfast there, which makes the economic viability of the £15 offering even more suspect.

Not coincidentally, at least two other restaurants in our town have started offering “Man vs. Food-style” challenges. A pizzeria, for example, has a $15.99 offer of half a 14" pepperoni pizza, one pound of chopped ribeye with cheese and hot peppers, a pound of garlic fries, an entire loaf of Super Bread (whatever that is), and there may be something else.

I don’t think Adam Richman could eat this. His limit, from what I’ve seen of the show, seems to be 5-6 pounds of food. The few things he’s not been able to finish all seemed to be 7lbs or more.  
As for me, I wouldn’t even attempt it. My stomach doesn’t hold much more than a pound or so, and that’s if I’m really hungry.
