The diner takes its name from the American internet reference to Karens as a woman seen as entitled or demanding beyond the scope of what is normal.

A number of Star readers say they are excited for the venue – and are looking forward to going along.

Posting on Facebook, Stuart Sorsby said: “Hope they can take it as well as give it, because I'm going.”

Josh England added: “Wow that's all we need more entitled Karen's.”

A spokesperson for the diner said: “From the brave minds behind The Alice Cocktail Experience comes a diner like no other - expect turbulent service, singing waiters and regular guest appearances from the manager - the biggest Karen of them all! Coming to a secret location in the city centre of Sheffield.

“Don't expect special treatment at this diner because it's all about Karen, and she won't be taking any of your nonsense! Come have some fun and wind the staff up to unleash your inner Karen and see their full Karen potential. This event has been a huge hit in Sydney, Australia making the mainstream Australian news.

“Tickets are on sale and a full menu will be available in due course but expect dirty American burgers, fries, shakes, cocktails and Karens. Your £15 ticket will get you a seat in the infamous diner as well as a cocktail on arrival.

“Don't miss out on this great food but awful service! Whatever you do, don't ask for a refund!”
