Holly Ramsay has revealed the second important role her famed father, Gordon, had for her lavish wedding to Adam Peaty.
The daughter of the celebrity chef, 26, married Olympic swimmer Adam, 31, last Saturday during a lavish ceremony in Bath.
But she has now revealed that Gordon not only walked her down the aisle, but he also took control of the food.
‘Dad has been extremely involved in the food,’ she told British Vogue before explaining that he and London’s Savoy Grill designed the menu.
The fancy menu included one of Gordon’s famed dishes- a traditional beef Wellington matched with wine pairings.
But later in the evening, Holly took more creative control of her guests’ food and organised spicy vodka pasta and fries.

Holly also revealed that Gordon’s tough persona crumbled in the weeks leading up to the special, as she reported that he ‘couldn’t stop crying’.
‘Dad cries every time I talk about the wedding,’ she said ahead of the big day.
Holly, who is the first of Gordon’s six children to get married, continued: ‘The other day I was asking him which car he and I would take to the church, and he welled up immediately.’
While the Ramsay clan turned out in their droves to watch the couple say ‘I do’, Adam’s mother and father, Caroline and Mark, were not present amid a spiralling family feud.
In the same interview with British Vogue, Holly defended her father Gordon’s speech, saying she felt ‘overwhelmed with happiness’ during it.
Gordon had said how his wife Tana would be ‘a good mum to them both’ in an apparent dig at Adam’s mother Caroline, who was uninvited after a row over her not being invited to Holly’s hen do.
The Sun reported that in his father of the bride speech, Gordon commented on how beautiful Holly looked and told Adam he was a ‘lucky man’, adding: ‘Look at Tana and that’s what you have to look forward to.’
The publication went on to claim that Gordon couldn’t resist a sly dig at Adam’s absent parents, he told his daughter Holly: ‘Shame you don’t have the same.’

Holly shared a photo of herself and Adam smiling and laughing during Gordon’s speech with Vogue.
The photo was captioned: ‘Listening to dad’s speech, looking around the room and feeling overwhelmed with the love and the happiness on our guests’ faces.’
In a jibe at the estranged Peaty family, Holly revealed that her parents paid for her and Adam’s luxurious Honeymoon to Mauritius, saying it was their ‘wedding present’.
She said: ‘We’re going to Mauritius to just lie by the sea – that was our wedding present from my parents. I had to tell Adam we weren’t basing our honeymoon around a 25-metre pool…’
