Ramsay said that he aimed to keep the menu lean without the use of heavy sauces, and menus are also offered for quick dining as well as takeaway cool boxes which contain a three course meal to be eaten on a plane.

Gordon Ramsay Plane Food is located on the sixth floor of Terminal 5 within Heathrow Airport, London,[1] next to the Wagamama restaurant.

[5] As with all restaurants at Terminal 5, Plane Food cannot use gas equipment due to safety reasons and so electric ovens and hobs are used instead as well as a single microwave.

[9] Pricing is similar to other restaurants owned by Ramsay, and it is intended to bring a fine dining experience out of specialist airport lounges and make it available to any traveller.

He also expanded his restaurant empire in other areas during 2008, with Murano (alongside Angela Hartnett), York & Albany and Maze Grill also opening.

A liquidation petition was placed by HM Revenue & Customs against Plane Food, Maze, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay and The Narrow.

[12] His 2010 opening, Bread Street Kitchen, was based on the same concept as Plane Food, as its location within the One New Change office and retail development created a similar need to cater for quick dining and a high volume of single diners.

[15] In early January 2022, the HKIA location was "temporarily closed" due to COVID pandemic-related restrictions, but re-opened by mid-September 2022.

[18] She said that the required use of electric stoves instead of gas resulted in her steak resembling a "parched leather shoe rotting in the rain".

[19] Although he was disappointed with the polenta chips, he said overall that the food was "utterly sublime" and he suggested that Ramsay should expand the concept to railway stations across London.
