First Look At Netflix’s Gordon Ramsay Documentary

One of the world’s most famous chefs, Gordon Ramsay is no stranger to the small screen. From his early days on Hell’s Kitchen to judging on MasterChef, he’s renowned for his fiery personality – as well as his prolific restaurant empire. But soon we’ll see Gordon Ramsay from a new angle, as Netflix is set to drop a documentary which charts the opening of Ramsay’s most ambitious venture to date: five new culinary experiences at London’s second tallest building, 22 Bishopsgate.

Being Gordon Ramsay: Everything We Know So Far About The Netflix Documentary

Filmed across a nine-month period, Being Gordon Ramsay is a six-part series following the lead-up to the opening of Ramsay’s latest London food empire, which cost a whopping £20m (taken from Ramsay’s own personal fortune). Opened in February 2025, it includes a glitzy new branch of Ramsay’s Asian-inspired eatery Lucky Cat (now London’s tallest restaurant), a 14-seat chef’s table experience from Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, a new outpost of Bread Street Bar & Kitchen, and a cookery school. Set 60 floors above ground, the new Lucky Cat has proved particularly popular since opening, offering jaw-dropping views of the city skyline through floor-to-ceiling windows, alongside a menu of Japanese-inspired fare and cocktails.

Described as a ‘heart-warmingly funny journey into Gordon Ramsay’s 100-mile-an-hour life’, Being Gordon Ramsay follows Ramsay as he balances the launch with other work commitments, plus family life with his wife Tana and their six children. In the trailer, we hear from Tana, who tells us: ‘people think that they know Gordon… he’s someone who dreams big, but you know what, he’s just Gordon to me’, adding ‘he drives me mental’. His daughter Tilly (a rising chef herself) tells the camera: ‘The way dad is in the kitchen, in a stressful environment, he reacts the way he does for perfection.’ We also see a glimpse of daughter Holly (who has been all over the headlines recently after her wedding to Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty sparked controversy). ‘He’s a very different person to what he is on set; he’s just dad,’ she says. Fellow TV chef Paul Ainsworth also appears in the trailer, chatting to Ramsay as he jokes that he ‘might retire’ after the exhausting Bisphospgate venture.

The series is being directed by Dionne Bromfeld, and executive produced by Amanda Westwood, Deborah Sargeant, and Lisa Edwards.

Born in Johnstone, Scotland, Ramsay began his cooking career after moving to London and got a job working under Marco Pierre White at the restaurant Harvey’s. He spent time honing his craft in France, working with the likes of Joël Robuchon and Guy Savoy, before returning to London to head up Aubergine – which went on to secure two Michelin stars. He opened his first restaurant in 1998 – the beginning of many. Today he runs 58 restaurants around the world, including 24 in the UK alone. He has also starred in an endless string of TV shows over the years, from oldies like Kitchen Nightmares and The F-Word to newer releases like Next Level Baker (you can find his full catalogue available to stream in the UK here).

It’s looking like another busy year for Ramsay: as well as the new documentary, the chef has announced he will be bringing his Hell’s Kitchen restaurant concept to the UK. Inspired by his hit TV series (rumoured to be returning for British reboot), the immersive eatery is set to open this year within The Cumberland Hotel near Marble Arch. Like the US branches, the menu will dishes similar to those seen on screen, such as lobster risotto, beef wellington and sticky toffee pudding.
