When Did Gordon Ramsay Start His Restaurant Career?
Ramsay served as a commis chef at the Wroxton House Hotel in the middle of the 1980s. From there, he managed the Wickham Arms’ kitchen and 60-seat dining room. He next relocated to London, where he worked in several restaurants until being hired to work at Harvey’s for the renowned volatile chef Marco Pierre White.
Before getting sick of White’s “rages, the bullying, and the violence,” he spent two years and ten months working at Harvey’s. In Mayfair, where he worked for Albert Roux and Le Gavroche and met Jean-Claude Breton, now his master d’hôtel at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, Ramsay opted to learn French cooking.
Roux persuaded Ramsay to join him as his number two at Hotel Diva, a ski resort in the French Alps after Ramsay spent a year working at Le Gavroche. From there, the then 23-year-old Ramsay relocated to Paris to work with Michelin-starred chefs Guy Savoy and Joel Robuchon. For three years, he continued his training in France.
After taking a year off to work as a private chef on a boat, Ramsay returned to London and was given the role of head chef at La Tante Claire in Chelsea under three-Michelin-starred chef Pierre Koffmann. Soon after, Ramsay’s previous employer Marco Pierre White offered to hire him as the head chef at the Rossmore in exchange for a 10% share.
Ramsay renamed the restaurant Aubergine and gained his first Michelin star 14 months later. The restaurant Aubergine got a second Michelin star in 1997. Due to differences of opinion over the course the business should take, Ramsay, quit the partnership in the summer of 1998.
Ramsay started his eatery, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, in London’s Chelsea district that same year. When the cafe received its third Michelin star in 2001, Ramsay became the first Scotsman to do so.
