Gordon Ramsay’s Christmas lunch costs £275 a head (not including drinks)

Want Gordon Ramsay* to cook your Christmas lunch? Well you’re gonna have to shell out some mega pounds for the pleasure.

This festive season Gordo’s Savoy Grill is serving a slap-up six-course Xmas din dins on December 25 with all the trimmings; we talking Arnold Bennett soufflé, roast Norfolk turkey with cranberry sauce and stuffing (or beef welly or dover sole grenobloise), a trad Christmas pud and a cheese plate. There’s just one Colombo-style thing… it’s £275 per person. Oof. 

And that’s before you’ve added on any drinks or the service charge. Oof again. Now, we know the Savoy Grill isn’t the cheapest place to get a meal at the best of times, but this budget-buster is pretty damn brutal. Christmas isn’t a cheap holiday, either, so we've compiled a list of festive things to do for free – not including Gordo’s big dins. We’ve got a mega Christmas tree bike ride, loitering with intent in Harrods, a service at St Paul’s, a stroll to see the competitive decorations of Lower Morden Lane, a gaze at the snowscapes in the National Gallery, Walthamstow’s living advent calendar, the firs of King’s Wood and a virtual carol concert. 

*PS: We’re pretty sure that despite having his name above the door, Gordon doesn’t actually spend his evenings in this particular kitchen.

Here are loads of things to do in London this Christmas - some of them are even cheap!

In fact, these ones are definitely free!
