HE is the foul-mouthed super-chef whose temper and exacting standards have made him a global star.

So staff at a Hampshire eatery could be forgiven for feeling the pressure when Michelin-starred Gordon Ramsay wandered in with his family.

But far from the acid-tongued outbursts that have earned him worldwide notoriety, the fiery Scotsman was all sweetness and light as he paused for a bite to eat at Café Fresh in Romsey.

And it seems that keeping it simple was the key to impressing the fearsome chef as he enjoyed a tuna sandwich and a cuppa.

At the end of their meal, his wife Tana complimented staff on their food and service, leaving a generous tip.

Owner Mike Hill said: “Obviously he is not your everyday customer. He was not fearsome, he was very nice.”
