Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant empire recorded a rise in group sales last year, citing a Netflix series for driving higher bookings and singling out its Bishopsgate venue in London as a "star performer".
The celebrity chef’s business currently trades across 102 restaurants globally, including 34 sites in the UK under brands such as Lucky Cat, Hell’s Kitchen and Bread Street Kitchen & Bar.
Recently released accounts show that UK revenues topped £100 million in the year ending 28 December 2025, which represents a 3 per cent increase compared with the prior year.
UK earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) hit £8.5 million, up by 4 per cent year-on-year, while the worldwide group generated £14.3 million in Ebitda – up 12 per cent year-on-year.
However, the UK arm recorded an operating loss of £5.8 million over the course of its latest financial year.
Chief executive of the restaurant group, Andy Wenlock, said it had been an “incredible year” for the business and that 22 Bishopsgate was the “star performer, with five restaurant experiences in one venue”.
“Coupled with our expansion drive has been a commitment to improving underlying profitability, resulting in record Ebitda for the group and UK businesses,” he added.
The 22 Bishopsgate site is in a City of London skyscraper, incorporating Lucky Cat, Bread Street Kitchen & Bar and Gordon Ramsay High restaurants as well as a cooking academy.
Sales at the venue this year, to date, are more than double that of last year, according to the business.
Ramsay was the subject of Netflix documentary Being Gordon Ramsay, which aired in February and followed the life and career of the restaurateur.
The company said the success of the TV programme helped deliver a boost to bookings at restaurants this year.
It is expecting franchise and licensing partnerships to play an increasingly important role in the group’s growth, alongside investment in the restaurants it owns.
