Britain's famous Lake District is where tourists are plentiful and money is flowing. However, The Glass House restaurant in Ambleside seems to have missed both points.

In a previous life, the Walnut Tree Inn in South Wales was a Michelin-starred restaurant known throughout Britain. Under its new owner, Italian Francesco Mattioli, Gordon arrives to find the kitchen in chaos with no Head Chef and no customers.

In the final episode, Gordon tries to save Moore Place, a restaurant adjacent to a busy golf course in Surrey, in the south of England. There's plenty of money in the area with golfers, 'ladies who lunch,' and American business executives, but this place is deserted.
