Bad service: The firebrand chef was reportedly 'aghast' after he went to Gjelina in Venice, California with pregnant Posh


Gordon Ramsay is notorious for his temper when it comes to cooks and restaurants so it was no surprise that he wasn’t happy when a chef refused his friend's request.

Ramsay was dining with good friend Victoria Beckham in a trendy Los Angeles restaurant when he reportedly became angered over them refusing her ‘salad dressing on the side’ order.

Gordon Ramsay says he was less than impressed at the treatment given to pregnant Victoria Beckham and let it be known.


The firebrand chef was reportedly 'aghast' after he went to Gjelina in Venice, California with pregnant Posh - and she was denied a change to her meal.

The restaurant replied saying it had a strict ‘no substitutions’ policy when the former Spice Girl asked for smoked trout salad to be left plain, with the dressing on the side.

When the waiter wouldn't accommodate her special order, Gordon was shocked.

‘I couldn't believe it,’ he said.

Posh is eight months pregnant with her fourth child with soccer ace David Beckham, and the couple are close friends with Ramsay.

According to the menu, the dish is normally served with grapefruit, avocado, red onion and lemon.

Request denied: Victoria Beckham wanted her dressing on the side of her salad but was disappointed with the restaurant's policy

Ramsay said he had trouble believing that such a simple request - a plain salad with the dressing on the side - was asking too much of the kitchen.

‘The lady's pregnant!’ Ramsay said.

"No one is asking to be fussy I still think that's the customer's prerogative.... It was a sour note.

‘I don't think customers should be treated that way. That might not be the way I choose to eat it, but that's what the customer wants.’

Despite the 'sour note' Ramsay said his overall impression of the restaurant was positive.

‘The place is great,’ Ramsay said.

‘But I don't know, times are tough out there. You have to show a touch of sensitivity.’

Close friends: Gordon Ramsay is very close with David and Victoria Beckham seeing as they all have lived in Los Angeles for a while


In their defence, a restaurant spokesperson told the Sunday Mirror: ‘It’s that sense of entitlement… it has to stop.

‘We treat everybody the same in here and it doesn’t matter who you are.

'We have a policy that we don’t make substitutions. It doesn’t matter if you are famous or you have allergies.

‘Gordon Ramsay should know better. The smoked trout is one of our favourite items and has been on the menu almost since we started three years ago.’

'Driving recklessly': David Beckham and his son Brooklyn escaped uninjured after the multiple car collision earlier this month(file picture)


David Beckham was allegedly 'driving recklessly' and 'speeding really bad' before a multiple car pile-up in Los Angeles earlier this month, according to newly released emergency telephone calls.

The football star and 12-year-old son Brooklyn escaped injury when his car rear-ended another on one of the city's busiest freeways.

Now 911 calls made by other drivers to report the accident suggest that Becks - who was at the wheel of his luxury black Cadillac Escalade SUV [sports utility vehicle] during the May 6 incident - was going fast enough to attract their attention.


One female caller, who said she was behind Beckham for miles, told the operator: 'I just want to let you know that they guy with the SUV was speeding all the way from LAX [Los Angeles Airport].

'He was speeding really bad from LAX. I let him pass by and he was just driving so recklessly.'

A male caller claimed that Beckham's vehicle was 'definitely speeding' and 'tailgating' another car.

He added: 'It pulled out of the car pool lane and pulled back in, kind of breaking a couple of traffic laws.

'I mean, this guy was speeding.

Beckham's SUV: David is frequently seen driving this customised Escalade, which is one of his collection of luxury cars


'I guess there was a car with its hazard lights on in the car pool lane that had stalled out or something and he rammed it in the butt.

'He was definitely speeding and cutting in and out of the yellow lines prior to that.'

The collision occurred when a gold Mitsubishi stalled in the fast lane due to mechanical problems, a California Highway Patrol spokeswoman said at the time.

The accident happened on the 405 Freeway, near Torrance, just outside of Los Angeles.


Where it happened: Torrance, a small coastal community, is located south west of Los Angeles


Neither Beckham nor son Brooklyn, who were both wearing seatbelts, were injured.

The driver of the Mitsubishi, a 40-year-old Los Angeles man, was taken to hospital after complaining of pain but was not seriously injured.

Police were at the scene but Beckham was not arrested or questioned.

A spokesman for Beckham told celebrity website, TMZ.com, who originally obtained the 911 calls: 'As unfortunate as accidents are, David was not cited by the police at the scene for any violations.'

A spokesman for the South Los Angeles California Highway Patrol (CHP) office, which is dealing with the incident, was unavailable for comment today.

As such it is unclear whether the CHP is taking any action in light of the claims about Beckham allegedly speeding and driving recklessly.

Football practice: Victoria Beckham was spotted kicking the ball around in her Christian Louboutin heels


Victoria Beckham might have looked stunning in her chic all-black maternity ensemble, but it wasn’t quite appropriate for kicking a football around.

The pregnant star took her youngest son Cruz for a kickabout in five-inch Christian Louboutin black heels in a Los Angeles park.

Her footballer husband David Beckham might not have approved of such an outfit on the pitch, but the former Spice Girl looked stunning.


Svelte pregnancy: The 37-year-old mother-of-three is due to give birth to her fourth child in early July but is still tiny


She accompanied her suede ankle boots with black tights and a sheer cardigan that covered her growing bump.

Even her nail polish, spotted as she clutched tightly onto her mobile phone, matched the gothic theme.


Bonding time: Mrs Beckham was out with her youngest son Cruz, six, in a Los Angeles park


Mrs Beckham's six-year-old son Cruz ran around the park in checked shorts and a blue T-shirt, but his two older brothers were nowhere to be seen.

The 37-year-old mother-of-three is due to give birth to her fourth child in early July and has been looking svelte through the whole pregnancy so far.


Maternity chic: The pregnant fashion designer looked stunning in the all-black ensemble


And despite choosing to give birth in the U.S., the Beckhams are said to be planning to move back to Britain permanently in the summer.

They are planning to bring their three sons and new-born daughter back to their £18 million mansion in Hertfordshire, according to the Daily Star.

Close friend and television personality Louie Spence, 42, told the tabloid: ‘David, Victoria and the boys are coming to live over here again.

‘I’m working in the States over the summer but I’ll be in New York. If I’m in LA while I’m there we’ll definitely be spending time together.

★Victoria books C-section for July 4 - U.S. Independence Day
★Seven bedroom beachside paradise will cost $60,000 a month

Lap of luxury: David and Victoria Beckham are set to rent this Malibu mansion this summer ahead of their expected return to Britain in November


This is the luxury $27m oceanside mansion that David and Victoria Beckham are set to call home this summer.

The couple are said to be leasing the stunning home in Malibu, California, for more than $60,000 a month.

While they already have a pile in Beverly Hills, it looks like this could be the place where the couple's new daughter will live out her first few months when she is born in July.

Growing brood: The couple already have three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz


The family are expected to move back to the UK when Beckham’s contract with LA Galaxy runs out in November.

However in the meantime, Posh and Becks along with their three boys will be able to make the most of their remaining time in California in the stunning location.

According to reports today, Victoria, 37, has elected for a C-section in LA on July 4 - U.S. Independence Day.

And The Sun claims the couple have shortlisted Atlanta as a name for the little girl, in a nod to the hundreds of thousand of airmiles they have clocked up flying between Britain and the States.

Cooking up a treat: The property boasts stunning beach views. Pictured here, the spacious kitchen complete with central island

Feet up: The family will be able to relax in style in this stunning living space with incredible views


The Malibu property boasts seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, marble walls, a gym, pool and lavish tropical gardens.

Estate agents Trulia describes the home as a 'stunning, new architectural estate, constructed under strict green building standards'.

It is situated on 180 feet of bluff frontage overlooking Malibu’s widest premiere dry sand beach.

The Beckhams already have three boys Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, eight, and Cruz, five.

Floor-to-ceiling glass walls: Ocean views with the Santa Monica Mountains in the distance

Room with a view: The couple will be able to look out onto the ocean from the comfort of their bed


They have already been looking at top boys schools back in Britain ready for their expected return.

And Beckham, who recently trained with Tottenham Hotspur, has admitted he would still like to play on for an English club.

He said recently: ‘Who knows. I had a great career in England for 12-13 years. I've always said that I never wanted to play for another English club, because Manchester United is such a great club.

‘I'm getting older now and I don't have many years left. This is my last contract year, but who knows what will happen.’
