King Charles ' famous Highgrove Christmas lunches are the latest victim of inflation, as they've increased in price by £2.50.
Last year lunch in the estate's Orchard Room cost £35, but this year it starts at £37.50.
Celeriac soup with chive and truffle, a ballotine of turkey, and classic Christmas pudding with orange cream was on the menu in 2021.
This year, the menu includes starters of celeriac and truffle soup, venison terrine and cured salmon, mains of roots and chestnut cake for vegetarians and roasted sea bream and braised rib of beef.
And for those who don't like traditional Christmas pudding, they can try dark chocolate mousse with salted caramel pear and shortbread or a confit pineapple with saffron, coconut mousse and a sesame tuile.
The lunches run for a month, from November 16 to December 16 and this year have sold out.
The Highgrove website reads: "Gather family and friends for this festive lunch at Highgrove.
"Once you've chosen from our sumptuous set menu, our Orchard Room chefs will be cooking up a storm, capturing all the flavours of Christmas."
But eagle-eyed visitors may have noted that the festive feast costs £2.50 per person more this year than last, as inflation continues to rage.
Brits have seen the cost of everyday items skyrocket thanks to the War in Ukraine and Covid backlogs.
Prices for food and non-alcoholic drinks in the UK jumped 16.2 per cent year-on-year in October, the highest rate since at least 1989.
Oils and fats, milk, cheese, eggs, bread and cereals have all seen huge leaps in price, adding to the cost of living headache.
Visitors to Christmas events at Highgrove estate have also been asked to submit to strict security regulations.
They must bring photo ID and phones are only allowed in the Orchard Room and terrace.
Strict rules on the estate's website warn guests that "security regulations" are in force.
Highgrove, near Tetbury, Gloucs, has served as Charles' private home for him and his wife Camilla - now the Queen consort - for over 40 years.
The house itself was acquired by Charles in 1980 - when it consisted of the bare necessities, including a kitchen garden, an overgrown copse, some pastureland and a few hollow oaks.
The house is not usually open to the public, but the gardens are open between April and October every year, welcoming 30,000 visitors.
The series of interlinked gardens were created over 40 years by Charles using sustainable methods where possible.
