John Jackson, non-executive director at the Restaurant Group has bought another 200,000 shares taking advantage of the weak share price.

He now owns 300,000 shares in the group which owns high-street names such as Frankie and Benny's.

Jackson paid £208,400 for the additional shares.

Garfunkel's and Chiquito also fall under the Restaurant Group's remit.

Speaking to Sharecast non-executive chairman Alan Jackson explained that despite the share price falling he is still confident that trading will remain unaffected: ""Whilst the economic outlook remains challenging, I am confident that, absent a further significant deterioration in the UK economy, we will deliver another year of good progress."
