Amid a gruelling cost-of-living crisis in Britain, prime minister Rishi Sunak dined at a Disneyland restaurant where a meal can cost $15,000 (just shy of £11,800).

Hours after telling a downtrodden homeowner facing £2,800 mortgage payments to ‘talk to your bank’, Sunak and his family flew to California.

The prime minister and his wife, Akshata Murty, own a £5,000,000 luxury penthouse apartment in Santa Monica, an hour’s drive away from Disneyland.

Touching down in LAX on August 2, Sunak has since reportedly joined a Taylor Swift-themed Soul Cycle class and taken daughters Krishna, 12, and Anoushka, 10, to Disneyland.

The 10-day vacation has now seen Sunak and his family dine at 21 Royal, a luxurious restaurant hidden behind a Pirates of the Caribbean attraction.

Sunak, thought to be the richest person to ever hold the keys to Number 10, was photographed leaving 21 Royal on Sunday, walking down its staircase entrance.

21 Royal Disneyland
One food website called 21 Royal ‘arguably the most expensive dinner experience’ in the US (Picture: Disneyland Resort )

The full experience costs $15,000, with the bill including a table for up to 12 people (about $1,250 a person), park-hopper admission (a one-day ticket costs $185), valet parking at Grand California Hotel & Spa, tax and tip for the five-hour seven-course meal.

It is arguably the ‘most expensive dinner experience in the country’, food website Eater reported, set inside a gilded building once used as a getaway for Walt and Lillian Disney.

According to the 21 Royal website, the restaurant inside the 2,200-square foot Dream Suite is a ‘one-of-a-kind enchanted experience that includes exceptional hospitality and exquisite dining in an exclusive location’.

Guests dining at the venue are met by a valet and given a ‘VIP escort’ to the site of the festivities, where butlers serve cocktails before seating guests at a table described as being ‘laden with fresh flowers, gold-plated dinnerware and fine crystal’.

There’s no set menu at 21 Royal, though reviewers have described Alaskan king crab and caviar as among the dishes on offer.
