Gordon Ramsay’s UK Restaurant Business Narrows Losses as Sales Top £100m for First Time

Gordon Ramsay’s UK restaurant business remained loss-making last year despite sales surpassing £100m for the first time, according to a report in The Guardian.

The chef’s UK arm, which operates 34 outlets including the Savoy Grill, Pétrus and several Lucky Cat restaurants, narrowed its losses to £5.8m, down from £9.4m the previous year.

Sales rose 3% to almost £101m over the period, the report said, with growth attributed in part to a string of new restaurant openings in a London tower.

The narrower losses alongside rising revenue suggest the business is moving toward profitability even as it continues to invest in expansion, though it has yet to return to the black.

Ramsay’s UK restaurant empire spans a mix of fine dining venues, such as the Savoy Grill and Pétrus, and more casual concepts under the Lucky Cat brand, reflecting a strategy of operating across different price points and dining formats.

The figures come amid a broader period of cost pressure for the UK hospitality sector, with restaurant operators across the industry having faced rising food, energy and staffing costs in recent years. The report did not specify what factors were behind the reduction in losses beyond the increase in sales.
