Gordon Ramsay hails 'great dinner' as top chef pays visit to popular Glasgow restaurant

Gordon Ramsay enjoyed a 'great dinner' at a popular Glasgow restaurant on Friday night - much to the delight of staff who were 'thrilled' to welcome the TV star.

The Hell's Kitchen chef dropped by Ox and Finch in Finnieston during his whistle-stop tour of the city to sample some of the menu, which boasts contemporary tapas-style dishes among other plates.

The restaurant, located on Sauchiehall Street, took to social media to thank Gordon for his visit, posting on Instagram: "Thrilled to welcome you to the Ox and Finch tonight, Gordon."

They also attached a photo of waiting and kitchen staff smiling happily with Gordon at the end of the night, with the famous restaurateur standing in the centre of the pack, embracing the workers.

The Michelin star chef replied in earnest and was quick to compliment the restaurant's food and service, writing: "Such a great dinner thank you and congrats @oxandfinch".

Foodies were absolutely loving the photo, with many flocking to the comments to share their view's on the celeb appearance. One wrote: "Well, doesn't he look a happy diner" while another added: "He's so lucky to have joined you all".

Another said: "A happy Gordon here for sure".

It comes after the controversial cook, who was born in Johnstone, visited Rangers Training Centre and posed for photos with players and members of staff at his former club.

Gordon had a look around the kitchen there also, and was snapped in deep conversation with Gers captain James Tavernier - with the pair both in blue.

It is understood Gordon is in Scotland to film a new TV show, Future Food Stars. He and his team are also searching for Scottish contestants to take part in another new contest called Next Level Chef.
