Restaurants: Ramsay in the soup 17/07/01

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.
