The Clapham House Group delivers 'robust performance'

26th March 2010, 8:22am

The Clapham House Group delivered a robust performance for the year to 28 March, with big plans to expand on its Gourmet Burger Kitchen portfolio, according to its latest preliminary results.

During the financial year the group opened two new GBK restaurants, at Bluewater in Kent and at Clink Street London SE1. This brings the total number of GBKs in the UK to 51, of which 29 are within Greater London. The team remain confident that they will reach at least 150 GBK restaurants across the UK.

Trading across the seven The Real Greek restaurants during the period has been satisfactory, with the restaurants at Westfield, Bankside and Covent Garden trading particularly well.

A spokesperson for the group looks ahead: "In the coming financial year to March 2011 we will focus on the growth of GBK, both directly in the UK and under franchise internationally. In the UK we expect to open a minimum of two GBK restaurants in this period. However, we may increase this programme dependent on the availability of good sites and our view of the UK economic outlook."
