A restaurant in London is offering a free three-course meal to homeless and elderly people so that they are not alone on Christmas Day.

The gesture by Muslim-owned Shish Restaurant in Sidcup has been hailed as "heartwarmingly brilliant" and "selfless".

Shish released a poster reading: "No one eats alone on a Christmas Day. We are here to sit with you."

The three-course meal, offered free to any homeless or elderly person on Christmas Day, will consist of soup and Cacik to start, chicken casserole, vegetable casserole or chicken shish as a main course, and rice pudding for dessert.

Users on social media hailed Shish's plan.
