Jamie’s Italian Returns to UK High Street With Leicester Square Opening on March 11

Brava Hospitality Group leads the relaunch with a plan for up to 40 sites over the next decade.

Overview

  • The first new restaurant opens in Leicester Square on March 11 under a partnership with Brava Hospitality Group, owner of Prezzo.
  • Brava says the launch will be followed by up to 40 UK locations over the next ten years.
  • The Leicester Square venue spans three floors with an open kitchen and dining areas on the first floor and in the basement.
  • Jamie Oliver will curate the menu and oversee sourcing and staff training for the comeback.
  • The return follows the chain’s 2019 administration that closed most UK sites, with administrators later saying most of roughly £80 million owed would not be recovered and a 2020 tribunal finding consultation failures on redundancies.
