Gordon Ramsay is set to launch his first heart-of-the-West-End operation later this year, with the opening of the Heddon Street Kitchen. Modelled on Ramsay’s City outpost Bread Street Kitchen – not, it must be said, much favoured by Harden’s reporters – it will be located on the former site of a Living Room bar and restaurant, just off Regent Street.

Ramsay seems in expansionary mood. Earlier this year, he showed his sentimental side by buying the site of Aubergine (the Chelsea spot where he spent his formative cheffing years), and it was announced today that he plans to open a Bread Street Kitchen in Hong Kong.
