GORDON Ramsay is charging punters ￡345 a head for a New Year’s Eve dinner that includes pigeon as a main course – without booze included.
The sweary chef, 55 – who has been blasted for his pricey portions and “rip off” dishes – is offering the meal at his Michelin-starred Petrus restaurant in South West London.

His seven-course menu for December 31 at the posh eatery is ￡300 a pop.
It includes an automatic 15 per cent service charge, which would bring the price to ￡345 for a solo diner.
But the biggest bill for those tucking in at Petrus will be the booze – as its wine list includes bottles of wines costing thousands of pounds each.
Those wanting to eat there are advised on the site to email the restaurant’s sommelier for a list of wine prices as they are not contained on the website.
The rest of the New Year’s Eve menu consists of smoked eel and potato salad as a starter, followed by pate, scallop, Dover sole, marmalade sorbet and hazelnut mousse.
The pigeon is a roasted Anjou bird and comes with pear and a sauce.
KITCHEN NIGHTMARE
Ramsay’s New Year’s menu at his The River Restaurant is even more expensive – at ￡402.50 a head, including the 15 per cent service charge.
The huge price tags come despite Ramsay being slated by fans for showing off a tiny portion of lamb at Petrus on his Instagram account earlier this year.

One critic sneered on social media: “Where’s the rest of it?”, while another added: “Seriously thought this was a post from a 'tiny foods' account I follow at first."
Ramsay was also slated last year for charging ￡19 for a basic fry-up at his Savoy Grill in London, with one punter raging online: “File under rip-off.”
And back in November, the firebrand chef had a kitchen nightmare after Sunday lunch-loving Brits roasted him on social media.
Potty-mouthed Gordon accidentally sparked a backlash as he showed off a turkey wellington dish available at his restaurants as a festive alternative.
'WHERE'S THE REST OF IT?'
But fans spoke of their shock after watching as gravy was poured over the meal.
One raged: "Call that gravy? It looks like dishwater."
Gordon isn't the only celeb chef to face fury over prices.
Tom Kerridge has been slammed for his pub's eye-watering ￡87 sirloin steak - but defended his “unpretentious" menu.
Kerridge left diners sizzling over a huge “mark-up”, including ￡26.50 for creme br？lée.
He also charges customers ￡12.50 at The Butcher's Tap and Grill in Bucks for simply putting a steak on to cook.
HIGH STEAKS
Meanwhile, Nusret G？k？e, who became an internet sensation as 'Salt Bae', charges astonishing prices at his restaurant in Knightsbridge.
A bill from Nusr-Et Steakhouse in the capital shows one hungry diner paid out a whopping ￡1,812.40 in total.
The receipt shows the customer bought a single 'golden burger', which cost ￡100, a ￡23 salad, two prawn tempura rolls costing ￡60, and a ￡10 corn on the cob.
The priciest item was a ￡630 'giant tomahawk' steak, which is covered with gold leaf.
However, even smaller items come with a hefty price tag.
An onion flower costs ￡18, while a Coke is ￡9 and a Red Bull is ￡11.
Embarrassingly, diners have panned the restaurant on TripAdvisor.

One review reads: "Worst food, worst service, paid over ￡1,800 for three of us.
"Poor quality, smelly meat, small portions, rather spend ￡50 in the local restaurant - will be better."
Ramsay has been contacted for comment.
