Extra security measures have been put in place to prevent a repeat.
The Pheasant pub at Neenton has faced significant inconvenience after two men stole three 20-litre barrels of fresh cooking oil.
Mr Harris, who has been a chef for more than 25 years, said it had been the first time in his career he had seen criminals seeking out cooking oil. It is not the first time a county business has been targeted in recent months with oil thieves striking at a Cleobury Mortimer business earlier this year.
He said:"It is the inconvenience of ordering that stock in. £100 is not the end of the world but it is just a massive inconvenience."He said:"I've been a chef for 26 years but this is a very recent thing."I don't know what they are doing with the waste oil. Maybe turning it into red diesel, apparently that can be done."
