“Hell’s Kitchen” celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is preparing to open a British-themed gastropub at Downtown Disney that will pair the fiery TV persona’s iconic British dishes with a 1960s British Invasion-themed restaurant.

Disneyland offered a first look at the interior of the restaurant along with a few select menu items that will include Ramsay’s take on classic British pub favorites like Beef Wellington, Fish & Chips and Sticky Toffee Pudding. Wine will be a focal point of the restaurant.
The indoor-outdoor rooftop restaurant and bar on the west end of the Anaheim outdoor shopping mall next to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure will be inspired by London’s famed Carnaby Street during the height of the Swinging ‘60s cultural revolution.
The Carnaby gastropub will pay tribute to the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and other 1960s British Invasion pop and rock bands from the United Kingdom.
Concept art of the Carnaby tavern shows 1960s-era psychedelic concert posters lining the walls that name-drop Cream, Andy Warhol and other pop artists from the era.
The gastropub will offer live music on select evenings.
The Carnaby’s interior will feature forest green chairs and booths, while the outdoor patio will boast canary gold seating.
Placemats at each seat will lean into the 1960s British Invasion vibe of the restaurant.
Ramsay is best known as the strict, temperamental, profane and blunt TV chef who criticizes, insults and demeans reality cooking show contestants on “Hell’s Kitchen,” “MasterChef” and “Gordon Ramsay’s American Road Trip.”
The Scottish-born chef raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, England has dozens of restaurants around the world in the United Kingdom, United States, France, Singapore, Dubai and China.
A string of restaurants in the United States bear his name: Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips, Gordon Ramsay Burger, Gordon Ramsay Street Pizza, Gordon Ramsay Steak and Ramsay’s Kitchen.
