design with a stunning mix of vintage and modern furniture, creating an
atmosphere-led, high quality dining adventure and serving a British
European menu.

quality of the brand and experience. The Group is also in final
discussions with Las Vegas Sands regarding potential opportunities in
Asia in
Singapore and
Macau.

, "This is an exciting step for
the Group, not only to be entering
Asia which has such an amazing food culture but also to bringing our
London concepts
, which have been such a success
, to new markets."
Stuart Gillies, Managing Director added: "As a globally renowned group we get many invitations to expand internationally but it
's
important that we work with the right partner who can ensure that our
