Armed with their rolling pins and kitchen utensils, the staff of the Australian owned high-end restaurant, Ledbury fought back and drove away the robbers, looters and rioters who terrorized their diners.

Found in the rich neighborhood of London suburb of Notting Hill, the Herald Sun said that Ledbury was attacked by a group of riot thugs wearing masks and hoodies.

In an attempt to protect their customers, the staffs of the high-end restaurant, owned by Australian chef, Brett Graham, fought back using merely just their cooking tools against the looters’ machete, knives and bats.

Graham commended his staff and expressed relief that they were able to drive away the looters who stormed the restaurant late Tuesday evening.

“Probably a mob of 50/60 young kids and a few more slightly older smashed down the front door. The door was locked. The staff realised there was going to be trouble, locked all the doors, got all the customers against the opposite wall and basically these guys come in and smash the door,” Graham was quoted as telling ABC Radio by the Herald Sun. Graham now based in London, is a native from Newcastle and had appeared on Australia’s “MasterChef”.

“The kitchen staff realised what was happening, they grabbed loads of stuff and all just ran outside shouting and screaming and, f---ing, get out. So, you know, shouting at the guys and they cleared out pretty quickly,” Graham, who has become a familiar face after appearing on Australia’s cooking reality show, “MasterChef” he added.

Describing the incident and the looters, Graham noted that they seemed to be “little kids who don't know what they're doing.”

London has been engulfed with violence for four days now after riots began over the weekend.

Thousands of police have been put in place in hopes to control the violence that has reportedly been worsened by the onslaught of looting in many suburban areas.
