Gordon Ramsay's Lucky Cat's 20 per cent service charge puts Britain's restaurant cost crisis in focus

Highlights

  • Service charges are doing the work that menu price rises used to do.
  • One in five UK hospitality businesses fear collapse within the next 12 months.
  • Diners can legally ask for the charge to be removed at the point of payment.
Diners at Gordon Ramsay's Lucky Cat restaurant on New Year's Eve were already paying £140 for a chef's sushi selection and £138 for Japanese A5 sirloin.
Spiced lamb chops were priced at £50. From its perch on Level 60 of 22 Bishopsgate, the restaurant offers 350-degree views across London, and bills to match.

What some diners may not have noticed straight away was a single line at the bottom of the menu, printed small: a discretionary service charge of 20 per cent added to the total bill.

The charge is among the highest seen at a British restaurant and sits well above what other well-known chefs typically apply.
