Controversial
restaurateur and chef Gordon Ramsay may be sued by four bankers
who spent a whopping £44,007 at his Petrus restaurant in Mayfair.
They are claiming that he leaked their names to the press and that
this is a breach of their privacy. Gordon Ramsay responded by saying that he did not want to play these games.
Mahish Chandra (£12,000 on the tab),
Iftikhar Hyder (£11,500), Dayananda Kumar (£9,000) and Ruth Cove
(£8,500) all work for Barclays Capital and are said to be shocked
that details of their lavish meal have appeared in the press. The
group, which contained two other members who paid £3,000 between
them, were celebrating a lucrative deal on the bonds market.
The dining party got through the
money by buying exclusive vintage wines. Some £33,300 went on three
bottles of Petrus Pomerol, £9,200 on a dessert wine and £1,400 on
a bottle of 1982 Montrachet. The restaurant reportedly threw in
the food for free.
Ramsay categorically denies revealing
the names of the loaded diners and Barclays Bank said the meal was
a private affair paid for by the individuals concerned.
