Gordon Ramsay Holdings and two-Michelin-starred chef Marcus Wareing are to part company. Marcus Wareing, who has worked with Gordon Ramsay for 15 years, is to leave the company in September and launch his own restaurant at the Berkeley Hotel, where Petrus is currently housed.
Speculation in the industry suggests that Gordon Ramsay Holdings, which owns the name Petrus, will relocate the restaurant within London. La Noisette has been suggested as the most likely venue.
According to an article in the Mail on Sunday, the news of the split has been confirmed by the Maybourne Hotel Group, owner of The Berkeley.
A spokesperson said: "We can confirm the group's intention to work directly with chef Marcus Wareing to operate the fine dining restaurant at the hotel.
"The existing contract with Gordon Ramsay Holdings expires on September 19 and a new contract with Marcus Wareing will then commence."
