Well we made a few phone calls and it cost us nearly as much as the lunch itself! We kept being put on hold and eventually had to wait nearly 20 minutes for them to answer at international call rates.

The ambience, service and food was excellent though!

Dear Ms,

Unfortunately, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in Royal Hospital Road has a different reservation and booking policy to Gordon Ramsay at Claridge's.

Due to the size of the restaurant (13 tables only) Restaurant Gordon Ramsay only takes reservations via a phone call and only up to 2 calendar months in advance.

In order to make a reservation at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, please call 020 7352 4441 from 9.00am exactly 2 months prior to your requested booking date (i.e.: on the 1st December for a booking on the 1st February).

Unfortunately we are unable to accept reservations for Restaurant Gordon Ramsay via email.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of any further assistance.

Kind regards,

Dear Freeda,
Many thanks for your reply to our query for availability at Claridges.
At the moment, we are trying to choose between Claridges and/or Royal Hospital Road.
As Royal Hospital Road is in proximity to our proposed Hotel, this is most likely the one. However we notice not open on weekends.
So we are looking at Monday 27th October - for Dinner.
Would you be able to let me know if this time is available, for two, as we need to make a decision soon,
Many thanks,
Pauline
