When it comes to food critics, there's nobody more feared in the game than Gordon Ramsay.
So staff at one Ayrshire restaurant were forgiven for doing a double-take when a master impersonator rocked up at their venue.
TikTok star Scheiffer Bates is renowned for his hilarious impressions of Ramsay online.
And his routine is so good, that the TV chef has been known to reach out and engage with his alter-ego.
Now Bates, who boasts a social media following of more than 435,000 people, has been drafted in by bosses at Buzzworks as part of a new publicity drive.
He turned up at Prestwick's 'The Vine' this week to sample some of the fayre in true Ramsay-style.
And the hilarious video has already proved a massive hit online among customers.
It's all part of a drive from Buzzworks to try and aid recruitment across their venues by using TikTok stars like Bates appearing at their venues.
Buzzworks’ Head of Marketing, Martin McCabe, said: “Customers and brands have been quick to embrace TikTok, however Buzzworks will be the first to use it as a recruitment tool within hospitality in the UK."
