Reviewing GORDON RAMSAY AIRPORT RESTAURANT! Disgraceful Hidden Charge!

I'm on my way to Ireland but as a short pit stop, I thought I'd stop into Gordon Ramsay's Plane Food at London Heathrow Airport before I get on the plane and bring you a review. I wasn't expecting a cover charge for just sitting down!

Hi Gary, been there, paid our bill and left in a bad mood. It was horrible, I think Gordon Ramsay should run a better quality control at his restaurants. It's very frustrating when between two people you pay over a 100£ and leaves with a bad taste in your mouth. We gave a 1 out of 10. But I am glad you're going to Ireland and hopefully you will really enjoy it. Another fantastic review in the bag, mate! Have a wonderful time in Ireland and enjoy every moment of it, buddy! All the best and can't wait to see your reviews from Ireland!

Learn to spell. It’s empty because everybody assumes due to the name it’s going to be expensive. It is expensive. But so are all airport restaurants.

There is an old gag about a person who went into a London branch of Gordon Ramsey`s and was shocked by the prices, so he went for the cheapest item on the menu. It was boneless chicken and when it arrived, it was a fried egg.

[@GaryEats]

LOL

[@TheByard]

A group of us boaters moored in Lime House Dock, had a pint or three in the club house and someone suggested Gordon Ramsey's pub across the road. A van was set outside and the driver was carrying trays of pre-prepared food into the pub. We about turned and went to another pub that was cheaper so even if that pub had pre cooked food we still saved money for a pint or three.

@@fletchsrv It's an airport 🤣 not likely to have anyone from the guardian coming to review any time soon. And there's not such a thing as repeat customers. Nobody in their right mind would put a fine dining/high quality restaurant in an airport. They don't even have the facilities to make anything on the premises fresh. It's a business model that yeilds a slightly higher profit than a proper restaurant and everyone who has the money to invest has a right to rip off customers in a captive market. That's how capitalism works

I am growing blackberries in my backyard and right now am picking from 1-2 lbs. per day! I just made a coconut cake with blackberry plum filling (plums also from our backyard), and cream cheese icing with tons of extra crushed and pureed blackberries, sprinkled with fresh blackberries and served it with blackberry cobbler ice cream and more pureed berries. For that, I would pay $10. willingly. Hope I didn't make you hungry after that meal! LOL

[@expatexpat6531]

If you're very disappointed with the food (cold tomatoes, chewy meat, blood pool on your plate, crappy knife), you should complain and ask for a new steak meal and a proper steak knife. How the restaurant reacts to the complaint is part of the review. I wouldn't pay for the cover charge (I hope you didn't pay for the water). Airport food is often a rip-off, so at those prices you're entitled to complain. Go on, give it a go 🙂.

[@tenparkdrive]

knives in airports are the same for everyone though, but yes I agree

[@chazrendell6562]

If you don't complain the restaurant receives no feedback and can't change

I dont think they are allowed to give you a proper steak knive air side for security reasons. Other than that, you couldnt be more right.

[@williamtraynor-kean7214]

Unfortunately you will not get a steak knife, you have passed through security that's why you get a round tipped knife with a semi blunt blade, on the extended silly rules I had my nail clippers removed from my bag by security. I was the pilot flying the aircraft.

Hi Gary, my local public golf club out here in Washington state does specials every day of the week. Monday night is steak night. A NY strip, baked potato fully loaded and salad for $10.99.

Well I think it's down to the accountant/bank, the tills should separate the calculations when tallying up, so need to be programmed, airport restaurants also charge extra where they can because of how much they pay for the real-estate. Best value I had in an airport was for a bacon sandwich and a litre of beer for 8 euros in Schiphol Amsterdam

[@John-si5vs]

I would prefer a McDonalds or Burger King meal over this, the steak looked slimey or oily the plate bare except for the wilted looking tomato slices, the fries looked ok, but the cheesecake was the ridiculous size of a small cupcake. Very disappointing looking, then the tip and service charge, If you pay the waiters and waitresses a proper wage they wouldn't have to rely on tips and that is if they even get to keep the tips.

I don’t know if you are aware of the restrictions in airports for cooking? Basically no flames are allowed at all and most food is either pre made and warmed up at the airport using a combo oven. I used to film for all the big companies back a few years ago in pretty much every European and British airport. You think you are buying what’s advertised such as flans grilled etc, but it’s not done there at all. It’s just warmed up.

Gary - sorry for your experience at Heathrow Airport and I know you say it like it is. Hope you have better luck on your flight to Ireland and looking forward to more reviews from the emerald isle.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you very much 🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@FC-hj9ub]

Ramsey hasn't been a chef for years. He's a celebrity now.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you for watching

[@MalcolmJames-sg3zg]

Gary I'm glad your exposing some of these restaurant rogues, hopefully people will stay away, Serves them right

[@GaryEats]

Thank you Malcolm

[@lmak7285]

It’s come to the point where I could imagine Gary having his own little segment on a tv show he’s such a loveable character he would be a British icon 😂

[@GaryEats]

Lol thank you but nobody needs me on TV!!

[@karenclancey2557]

He would be great at it as well.😜👏❤️

[@clarea1801]

I can imagine him on Saturday morning kitchen, I'd actually watch it then

[@CheshireCat6639]

As much as I agree...TV has far too many restraints and rules,we wouldnt see Mr G at his best❤,plus Mr C would be out of a job😮

[@SagaLarton]

Yes I have said this many a time.

[@barrygeorgeisabenefitcheat8287]

Service change on a cover charge is outrageous. It may seem small but with high volume of customers these charges all add up.

[@GaryEats]

Yep

[@panthony1525]

So. if you'd ordered Fish & Chips with Sticky Toffee pudding for afters and there had been no cover charge you would have been a happy customer. The quality needs to be consistent throughout though. No wonder Mr Ramsay is so rich.

[@GaryEats]

I would yes but unfortunately I didn’t so not happy

[@SparksF1]

Looking forward to the Ireland videos. Some really great places here. For Dublin i'd recommend O'Connells in Howth Its not cheap but is very tasty.Chowder followed by Beef and Guinness pie would be my favorite. Booking is advised.

[@GaryEats]

Thanks for the recommendation I actually had a beef and Guinness stew 👍

[@janierum]

Hope Gordon watches this

They don't expect repeat business, and act accordingly. With a couple of exceptions, never go to an airport hungry. Hope that you had a good flight.

Hi Gary thanks for the review, the beef wellington is still on my to do list to see what all the fuss is about, but I won’t be eating at GR otherwise. Hope you have a nice trip to Ireland. Hope your well.

[@deemo5245]

Sometimes it seems like he made an empire off beef Wellington. Just classic beef Wellington mind you, nothing imaginative.

Thank you as always David have a fantastic weekend my friend 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@Atheosandras]

I totally agree with you, that steak was not rested at all. The reason why your steak didn't taste great is because all it's flavour was in a puddle on your plate. Gordon Ramsay is a great Chef, unfortunately he's delving into the world of chain restaurants which means he is losing his grip on quality control, but that's why you do what you do, to show people this!

[@GaryEats]

Thank you

[@wendyoldbag6534]

That was a shocker!!!.. The steak was overcooked, and had not been properly rested, then they chop a tomato in half, and add a touch of greenery...the frittes looked okay,...and as for the dessert , inhale too deeply and it was gone!!!.. and then they have the nerve to add a cover charge!!!!!... Definitely a case of thank you Gary for eating there, so I know NOT to!!!

[@GaryEats]

Shocking indeed Wendy, really really bad

[@kraken955]

Damn, sorry to hear about your experience - I would of expected more from Gordon place, hope you have a good one in Ireland.

Great review Gary have a great time in Ireland

[@GaryEats]

Thank you very much Eamoon

[@blackrider7631]

I’ve got to say Gary, I’d be embarrassed of serving that steak. It looks grey and completely uninspiring. The plate is sparse the fries are basic, as is the tomato. You’ve basically paid for an okay gremolata sauce. Definitely not the quality one would expect from Gordon Ramsey. Keep up the good work Gary

[@childofthe60s100]

Is it "good work" to put up with such a disgraceful meal AND PAY - without even thinking of complaining? The review is pointless, unless he demands value for money!

[@GaryEats]

Not good at all and thank you

[@chefstravels8429]

Well said.

[@81carrerasc]

Mate, you've got it all wrong ........ that's exactly the crap Ramsey serves up ........

[@blackrider7631]

@@childofthe60s100I believe Gary’s true aim is to entertain and that’s exactly what he does whether the food is good or bad. And n fact it’s irrelevant what the food is like. It’s just a.bit of fun.

[@johncecil7196]

Very generous, Gary, you must be in holiday mood. Disgraceful, steak should be a basic skill, chips - frozen fries - cheesecake out of a freezer , Ramsay has sold his name and has no control over the food. Roll on Ireland !

[@GaryEats]

Not good at all John

[@djpeekay25]

A great honest review as usual! Gordon Ramsay is just a TV chef now.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you very much

[@Klown84]

The waiter asked me “how do you like your steak” I said “ rare, just whip the horns off, wipe its arris and remove its bell end” you gotta admit the old ones are the best eh. 😂 it’s all good 👍

[@GaryEats]

Definitely, the old ones are the best ones, ha ha

[@Mat-eq8mk]

My pet hate is a steak that hasn't been rested. There's no excuse for it. I'd definitely have a Gordon Ramsay style meltdown if they served me that. The stupid knife may be due to airport regulations. Thanks for another great video. Can't wait for Ireland!

[@GaryEats]

Spot on and it is due to regulations

[@JPlokford]

Gary: "Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."

Lol made me laugh

[@lindacraig7486]

Service charge on a Cover charge? Heard it all now! Loved your honest review Gary. Wont be going there any time soon.

[@GaryEats]

That was shocking Linda one to avoid for sure

[@RafaelMichaelJackson]

If I see any extra charges on bill, including service charges, I never revisit that restaurant.

[@GaryEats]

I can understand completely

[@CCP24]

Gary, You just know before you've even ordered, what the outcome will be. I doubt Ramsay has ever been near this place. Sells his branded name to whoever runs this chain, takes their money and then has no further interest. It's the same with so many like Ramsay, it's all about the money. Great review Gary, you and your son are doing a wonderful job, and watching this channel is a joy. Cheers mate.

[@GaryEats]

That’s very kind to say and uni think you’re completely right

[@Hrossey]

Business = money Hobby = passion You are wearing adidas today, yet a £3 pair of TEMU shoes do the same job. What’s your excuse then? Check mate. ✅

[@ThomasJoe..]

Shocking food. Never trust a restaurant that the main attraction is the Chef's name

[@GaryEats]

Agreed not good

[@johnhamilton7762]

Ramsay just puts his name to these places and collects the cheques.

[@GaryEats]

Unfortunately, John, I think you’re right clearly he doesn’t care about his reputation

[@paulmcd1982]

I went here like 15 years ago and got stung by the hidden charges too. Don't know how it's still open, can't imagine it ever gets busy. Nice video anyway!

[@TheMRJnicholson]

I walked past recently on the way to LA, saw the place and considered it. I didn't even bother looking at the menu and kept walking. I'm now glad I did, love your vids!

[@GaryEats]

Good call 👍

[@zawarshah508]

For what it is. the prices are outrageous . The only thing I have at airport's is snacks or coffee ☕️. I eat before travelling. No surprises. Great vlog as always. You got a lot of fans well deserved 👏

Totally agreed, Gary. I went there last June and the fish and chips were very average. Nothing special but somewhat decent. Have been back to Heathrow T5 since and I ate elsewhere. Keep up the fab reviews and I look forward to seeing your reviews from my home island!

[@kennethausten]

Wife said as a retired chef it's disgusting. She can see it's not been rested and also it's been cut up in advance, allowing even more juices to come out. Costly as well.

[@bigbangger998]

It's quite amazing, a big time celebrity chef "Gordon Ramsay "puts his name on the restaurant and fails to have competent employees or procedures to oversee rookie mistakes. Service charge? Had your steak been rested, the service charge would have gone through the roof.

[@GaryEats]

Agreed, shocking

[@bagladey]

After Gary’s reviews of the food at Gordon’s restaurants I wouldn’t visit any. The steak looked grey, the tomatoes had no char and two bites of cheesecake for £10 is just scandalous! I’d give it a 2.
