## From the administrators' statement

The Company was incorporated in 2008 and is part of the Jamie Oliver Restaurant Group (the Group).

The Company operated two premium restaurants trading under the name of ‘Barbecoa’. The Company did not own the brand and this was informally licensed to the Company from Jamie Oliver Enterprises Limited. The concept offered high-end meat and barbecue food and specialist desserts, trading from two leasehold premises at One New Change, St Paul’s (St Paul’s) and 194 Piccadilly (Piccadilly) in central London.

The Company also entered into an agreement for a lease in respect of a third site at the Nova Victoria development (Nova), also in central London, although this site has never opened or traded.
