From the age of nine, he was raised in Stratford-upon-Avon.Ramsay is the second of four children. He has an older sister, a younger brother (who has been imprisoned for heroin possession), and a younger sister. Ramsay's father, Gordon James Sr.,was—at various times—a swimming pool manager, a welder, and a shopkeeper; his sister and their mother, Helen (née Cosgrove), have been nurses.

Ramsay has described his early life as "hopelessly itinerant" and said his family moved constantly due to the aspirations and failures of his father, who was a sometimes violent alcoholic.In his autobiography, Humble Pie, he describes his early life as being marked by abuse and neglect from this "hard-drinking womaniser".In 1976, they finally settled in Stratford-upon-Avon, where he grew up in the Bishopton area of the town. He worked as a pot washer in a local Indian restaurant where his sister was a waitress. At the age of 16, Ramsay moved out of the family home and into a flat in Banbury. Early cooking career

By this time Ramsay's interest in cooking had already begun, and rather than be known as "the football player with the gammy knee", Ramsay decided to pay more serious attention to his culinary education at age 19. Ramsay enrolled at North Oxfordshire Technical College, sponsored by the Rotarians, to study hotel management. He describes his decision to enter catering college as "a complete accident".

In the mid-1980s, he worked as a commis chef at the Wroxton House Hotel. He ran the kitchen and 60-seat dining room at the Wickham Arms, until his sexual relationship with the owner's wife made the situation difficult.[18] Ramsay then moved to London, where he worked in a series of restaurants until being inspired to work for the temperamental at .

After working at Harveys for two years and ten months, Ramsay, tired of "the rages and the bullying and violence", decided that the way to further advance his career was to study . White discouraged Ramsay from taking a job in Paris, instead encouraging him to work for at Le in Mayfair, where he met Jean-Claude Breton, later his maître d'hôtel at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay. After working at for a year, Albert Roux invited Ramsay to work with him at Hotel Diva, a ski resort in the French Alps, as his number two. From there, a 23-year-old Ramsay moved to Paris to work with Guy Savoy and Joël Robuchon, both Michelin-starred chefs. In Master Chef series 3 episode 18, Gordon Ramsay stated that Guy Savoy was his mentor. He continued his training in France for three years, before giving in to the physical and mental stress of the kitchens and taking a year to work as a personal chef on the private yacht Idlewild, based in Bermuda.The role on the boat saw him travel to Sicily and Sardinia, Italy, and learn about Italian cuisine.
