three weeks after ousting society figure Jeremy King from the fine dining group he co-founded, The Wolseley’s new owners are already moving ahead with plans to turn the celebrated London restaurant into a chain. I hear that Thai hotel giant Minor Internatio­nal is advertisin­g for potential restaurant sites, from Chelsea and Knightsbri­dge to Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dublin. The advert stresses that the group, which now owns Corbin & King restaurant­s such as Colbert and The Delaunay in London, seeks ‘character buildings’. King’s former regulars, including Nigella Lawson and Jeremy Clarkson, hope he’ll open a new spot of his own soon.
