Gordon Ramsay’s Restaurant Receives Harsh Criticism After Customers Spend $239
A recent review of Gordon Ramsay’s Bread Street Kitchen and Bar in Liverpool has garnered attention online.
The anonymous reviewer had visited the restaurant with a friend, hoping to try the Beef Wellington Experience advertised online. However, they were left disappointed after spending $239 for two and complained online. They shared.
“Waited years to try a real Beef Wellington from Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant, and tonight was the night. Terrible experience, the food was seriously overpriced and wasn’t of a very good standard paid for the Beef Wellington experience.”
They continued,
“Bill ended up coming to £239 for two people — we got a starter to share which included one piece of tuna, four chicken wings, and a slither of beef.”
Further, The unnamed reviewers also added.
“The main meal to share included four slices of Beef Wellington and a portion of mashed potato. Dessert to share included one small chocolate fondant, one small cheesecake without a biscuit base, and three scoops of ice cream.”
The reviewers didn’t stop and revealed that they had no alcohol throughout their meal and only a few bottles of water.
“Abouslutly Disgusting food was not done to any great standard. If it was offered to me again for £40 I still wouldn’t return as it wasn’t nice. Avoid this place unless you like overpriced trash or burning cash. Heartbroken.”
While this review received negative attention, other diners have had more positive experiences at the restaurant, with one describing it as “awesome” and another posted.
“Probably the best meal I’ve ever had! The flavors were amazing and needless to say, the beef Wellington was crazy good! The staff was nice, restaurant well located. Slightly expensive but it was worth every penny.”
This isn’t the first time Ramsay has been criticized for selling overpriced food. His ultimate Mother’s Day meal at his flagship restaurant in Chelsea caused controversy when it was revealed that the $1,000 deal did not include alcohol.
Additionally, Steve Allen who worked with Ramsay for ten years claimed that the celebrity chef is not as he appears on television.

Working with Ramsay is a dream for many aspiring chefs, but for those who have worked with him, the experience is often different from what you see on television. A former chef who worked with Ramsay for 10 years, has revealed that the celebrity chef is not the nastiest chef he has ever worked with, and in fact, he only has good things to say about him.
While Restaurateur is known for being strict with his employees and for his fiery temper on television shows, Allen claims that the man is not quite as he appears on the screen.
He said that while Ramsay does push his staff, he does so from a caring place to guide them in the right direction. Allen praised him for his dedication to using high-quality ingredients and producing top-notch dishes.
He also said that while swearing and shouting do happen in the kitchen, it’s not the norm, and Ramsay is very respectful to others.
“You see these shows and all the shouting and swearing and you think, ‘I’ll do a year, I’ll work here for a year’, but it becomes quite addictive. The first year you do sort of see that TV persona of his, it’s quite tough. When you see him on TV and he’s having a go at someone, it does happen, but once he knows you, he’s very respectful.”
Allen added that the first year working with Ramsay was tough, but it became addictive. He appreciated Ramsay’s guidance and investment in his staff, saying that nothing Ramsay says is personal and that he cares.
Overall, working with Ramsay may not be for the faint of heart, but for those who are willing to put in the work, it can be a rewarding experience.
