Gordon Ramsay and his former protege Marcus Wareing have put their long-running feud behind them, enjoying a dinner together at Dorian restaurant in Notting Hill over the weekend. The 59-year-old chef was joined by his wife Tana, 51, while Wareing, 55, attended with his wife Jane.
The outing marks a significant step in repairing their relationship, which soured more than 16 years ago. The pair had a public and bitter falling out after working together at Ramsay's Aubergine restaurant, with Wareing later saying he hoped never to speak to Ramsay again.
Earlier this year, in February, the chefs reconciled during a make-up dinner, posting a photo together on social media. Wareing said, 'It's been a long time coming,' while Ramsay wrote, 'Dinner with friends.' The rapprochement surprised the restaurant world given their history.
The feud began in 2008 when Wareing wanted to go solo and take over the lease at London's Berkeley Hotel, sparking a legal battle. Ramsay kept the Pétrus name, while Wareing opened his own restaurant at The Berkeley. Wareing once admitted, 'It was me who started it. I picked a fight.'
The reconciliation comes amid a separate family dispute involving Ramsay's daughter Holly and her fiancé, Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty. Despite the ongoing row with the Peaty family, Ramsay has been spending time with Wareing.
