New Year's Eve is still a little way off yet, but if you were planning on getting your family and friends together for a nice meal to ring in the end of 2022 and the start of 2023, then you'll need to think about booking a table somewhere so that you're not caught short when the end of the year creeps up on you.
One place you could go for a lavish meal on December 31 is Gordon Ramsay's posh three-Michelin star restaurant, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, but you'll need to have some serious cash to do so, as the dining experience is an eyewatering £400 per person - and that doesn't even include drinks.
The 56-year-old chef will be serving menu items including duck tea, Orkney scallops, and roast veal sweetbread at his flagship Chelsea restaurant - which has a smart dress code - but if you want to enjoy some wine with your dinner, you'll have to fork out an extra £275 for the optional "wine pairing".
That means you could spend up to a staggering £675 per person for the dinner, and even that's without considering the tip you might want to leave the staff at the end of your evening.
Restaurant Gordon Ramsay isn't the only one of the chef's restaurants to be putting on a spread for New Year's Eve either, as you can also knock £100 off the bill by visiting his Pétrus eatery, which will cost £300 per person and includes menu items such as smoked eel and potato salad, and roasted Anjou pigeon.
And if spending eyewatering amounts on New Year's Eve isn't up your alley, you can also dine at many of Gordon Ramsay's restaurants on Christmas Day too.
Restaurant Gordon Ramsay is closed between December 24 and 27, but Pétrus has a festive menu for £275 per person, while the Gordon Ramsay Bar and Grill is serving a four-course Christmas Day menu for £150 per person.
Meanwhile, the chef has previously been roasted over his festive cooking, after critics were quick to comment on an Instagram post he made in 2020 to promote his Christmas menu at his restaurant Bread Street Kitchen.
Gordon captioned the post: " Christmas dinner sorted," but fans weren't convinced.
One said: "I would have walked out. The name means nothing, it's all in the food."
While another added: "I would be so disappointed if that was the best I could come up with for Christmas Dinner."
And a third wrote: "Looks quite bland no finesse looks incomplete."
