A posh Park Lane pop-up is selling hot dogs for a whopping £48.

While the popular street food typically costs less than £2 and is topped with mustard or ketchup, Bubbledogs is serving their offering  with very extravagant toppings, including lobster and Beluga caviar.

The restaurant suggests pairing the street meat with champagne - which they sell for £22 a glass.

The pop-up is currently at 45 Park Lane,  part of the Dorchester Group and is a collaboration between the hotel's Elliot Grover, who cooked at this year's Oscars and is working with Sandia Chang and James Knappett who founded the restaurant.

While the eatery has mostly rave reviews, praising the service and the taste of the fast food, some guest have moaned at the price, especially as the dish comes without chips.

The restaurant closed at its previous incarnation within Michelin starred Kitchen Table in 2020. It will return within Dorchester Collection's 45 Park Lane with a special menu until the end of September.

The food is a mash-up of American and British traditions, with  ingredients from The Franconian Sausage Company, served in freshly baked rolls from the CUT Pastry Kitchen. 

The menu also includes fun finger foods including; American classic tater tots spiced with Japanese togarashi, CUT's Mac & Cheese and Bubbledogs signature Buffalo Chicken Wings. 

Elsewhere, there is a uniquely indulgent chocolate hot dog made with Jivara chocolate ganache served on a cinnamon brioche with a cherry & passion fruit sauce.

It comes after another west London restaurant came under fire for it's expensive prices.

Tom Kerridge had riled customers by increasing the price of his Harrods fish finger sandwich from £18 to £27. 

The Michelin-star chef set the price of his fish finger sandwich at £18 in the Knightsbridge department store restaurant Kerridge's Fish and Chips in September last year.

Now, the TV chef's signature sandwich is being sold with a side such as chips, hardcore slaw, minted peas or broccoli at a cost of £27 and is no longer advertised on its own on the menu. 

The addition of a side softens blow of the expensive new price, because they usually cost £8.50 or £9.50 on their own - so diners can actually save 50p depending on which one they choose. 

But some customers may be unhappy because they can no longer buy the sandwich on its own for £18.
