British Restaurants - Christmas Special
Air date: 22/Dec/2009 · Time: 20:30 · Runtime: 60 min
Summary

Gordon's search to the Best Local Restaurant hits its home turf when two of the top British restaurants go head to head. It's a battle of the birds as posh fine dining establishment the Swan in Kent faces gourmet gastropub the Pheasant from Cambridgeshire. Also on the menu (since it's Christmas time in the F Word kitchen), Gordon's off to Lapland in search of some seasonal meat - and it ain't turkey. Peter Andre brings his beef to the celebrity cook-off - and it's nothing to do with Jordan. And there's yet more celebrity action as Freddie Flintoff and Dita von Teese sprinkle a little stardust in the restaurant.
