Gordon Ramsay has turned around many restaurants since the launch of Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares but even a makeover by the celebrity chef could not save Brighton fish restaurant Love’s Fish.

The Michelin-starred chef helped to boost trade at Allan Love’s
restaurant – formerly known as Ruby Tates – after it was featured on
the Channel 4 show in 2007.

But, last November, Love warned that trade had since slumped by 50%
and a note pinned to the door of Love’s Fish this week confirmed the
restaurant had closed for good.

In a message on the restaurant’s website, Love said: “We would like
to thank everyone who came to the restaurant over the past two years
for their support and good wishes.We were very lucky to have had such a
wonderful mixture of people to serve. It's a very sad time for us all
but we hopefully will try to be positive for the future.

“Also – Thank you Gordon Ramsay for all your efforts, at least we tried eh?”

It seems that Ramsay does not have the best of luck with Brighton restaurants. Exactly a year ago it emerged that Momma Cherri’s, which featured on Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares four years ago, went under with debts of £200,000.
