Ep 3. La Granada Divino

In Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares (UK Version) season 9 episode 3, Gordon Ramsay heads to the town of Dedham in Essex to visit La Granada Divino, a Spanish restaurant owned by husband and wife team Javier and Victoria. The restaurant was once a popular hotspot in the town, but recently business has dwindled and the couple are struggling to keep things afloat.

Upon arrival, Ramsay is immediately unimpressed with the decor of the restaurant, which he describes as "tired" and "dated". He is also shocked by the state of the kitchen, which he deems to be unsanitary and in dire need of a clean.

Ramsay observes a dinner service and is dismayed by the lack of customers and the poor quality of the food. He orders a selection of dishes from the menu and finds them to be uninspired, lacking in flavour and poorly executed.

After speaking with Javier and Victoria, Ramsay learns that the couple are deeply in debt and have been using their personal savings to keep the restaurant afloat. He also discovers that the couple's relationship is suffering as a result of the stress and pressure of running the business.

Ramsay begins an intensive renovation of the restaurant, bringing in a team to revamp the decor and undertake a deep clean of the kitchen. He also works with the kitchen staff to create a new menu, focusing on traditional Spanish dishes with a modern twist.

During a relaunch night, Ramsay is pleased to see a full house and a much-improved standard of food being served. The customers are impressed with the changes and many vow to return to the restaurant in the future.

Despite some initial resistance, Javier and Victoria are grateful for Ramsay's help and agree to implement his changes moving forward. Ramsay leaves the restaurant with hopes that La Granada Divino will continue to thrive and become a staple in the Dedham dining scene once again.
