Squatters have taken over Gordon Ramsay’s London pub, York & Albany.

Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is facing a nightmare scenario at his London pub, York & Albany, as a group of squatters have taken over the establishment before Ramsay could finalize a deal with new partners. The squatters, described as “professional squatters,” have barricaded themselves inside the $16.1 million pub, using Ramsay’s own kitchen appliances to secure the premises.

Shocking photographs reveal the squatters lounging inside the restaurant, with one person sprawled on a sofa surrounded by personal belongings and debris. The group has even gone as far as cooking in the kitchen and leaving their belongings strewn across the floor.

Ramsay, who was in the process of finalizing a new lease for the pub, has reportedly called the police to obtain an eviction notice, but the squatters have threatened legal action if anyone tries to force them out. Calling themselves “The Occupiers,” the group has posted a notice on the front door claiming their right to stay in the pub.

The situation has left Ramsay frustrated and at a loss for words, with a source revealing that the celebrity chef is “at the end of his tether.” This is not the first time the York & Albany pub has caused trouble for Ramsay, as he was previously embroiled in a legal battle over the lease in 2015. The current situation with the squatters has only added to Ramsay’s woes, leaving him dealing with yet another headache at his beloved pub.
