Gordon Ramsay added a discretionary service charge of 20 per cent to diners’ bills at his prestigious Lucky Cat restaurant in London in the latest example of Britain’s move towards a US-style tipping culture.
The charge was added to the Asian-inspired restaurant’s New Year’s Eve menu, on which customers were already being charged £138 for a Japanese A5 sirloin meat dish, or £50 for spiced lamb chops.
