Gordon Ramsay travels 246 miles back to London after angering Cornwall neighbours by moving to second home in lockdown
by Mary GallagherGORDON Ramsay travelled 246 miles back to London from Cornwall after a feud with his neighbours over him relocating to his second home.
The TV chef moved his family to his £4million coastal mansion last month - when people could be fined for any non-essential travel.
The journey between the two is a long slog with 245 miles by road and a five hour car journey.
But Gordon made it back to his London townhouse in Wandsworth this week, where he announced the reopening of his restaurant.
Gordon, 53, kept quiet on how he'd made it from A to B but insisted his lockdown experience had been a "nightmare".
He told fans: "Hi guys it's Gordon, I've got some really exciting news.
"I know this lockdown has been a nightmare for absolutely all of us but, tomorrow at midday we're going to open for an amazing BBQ at The Narrow.
"The most amazing burgers, great ice creams, ciders, beers and wines.At midday on Friday. Can't wait to see you. Enjoy."
New UK Government advice has warned people to 'stay alert' and Boris Johnson announced plans yesterday to slowly ease the lockdown in England – including plans to open pubs and restaurants as well as ditch the two-metre social distancing rule.
Though Gordon insisted his lockdown experience had been a "nightmare", he has been spotted on boat trips and bike rides since the Government told Brits to "stay at home".
Gordon - who owns three Cornish homes - also recently enjoyed a day at the beach on Bank Holiday weekend.
The restaurant owner spent time watching the sunset on a dog walk as he admired those having BBQs by the sea amid lockdown.
"What a beautiful Bank Holiday Weekend," he said.
"We've got some of the most gorgeous beaches in the country here. It's so nice to see the kids, kites, dogs, mums and dads, kids in and out the rock pools. It's beautiful.
"As the sun sets it's so nice to see on the beach, swimmers, bbqs, how beautiful. That's what Bank Holiday Weekends should be about."
Last week, Gordon took to the seas after being hounded with complaints over a string of long-distance bike rides in Cornwall.
He goaded his neighbours after going on a "virtual" cycling trip at his £4million holiday home, telling them: "It's on an app - don't get your knickers in a twist."
They've been at war ever since Gordon flouted lockdown rules and fled London to isolate in Cornwall.
One local seethed: "Don’t you realise that by doing that you’ve possibly brought the virus with you and because Cornwall is not your main residence.
"If you and your family get sick you will place yet more strain on an already fragile infrastructure."
