Upmarket Pub Chain Reported to Be Taking Over The Crown
JKS Restaurants venture has existing sites in Fitzrovia and Chelsea
The Crown on Chiswick High Road following closure
April 14, 2024
According to a report in the hospitality industry press, a new pub may be set to open on the site of The Crown.
Propel says it understands that the pub venture backed by JKS Restaurants is planning to take on the lease. This would be the group’s third pub after The George in Fitzrovia and The Cadogan Arms in Chelsea.
The group funded the opening of The Cadogan Arms in July 2021 in partnership with Dominic Jacobs and James Knappett with The George following later the same year. James Knappett acts as the culinary director. He is the chef at the two Michelin starred Kitchen Table on Charlotte street which is owned by JKS.
JKS has a number of upmarket restaurants in its broader portfolio including others with Michelin stars such as the Spanish restaurant Sabor. It also owns the Chinese dumpling chain Bao and Bubbledogs, the hot dogs and champagne restaurant. The business was set up by three siblings from North London, Jyotin, Karam and Sunaina Sethi whose initials form the name of the company. The group’s first Michelin star was gained by Gymkhana in Mayfair and it gained a second one in this year’s guide.
The Crown stopped trading recently after an earlier unsuccessful attempt to sell it by the owners Harcourt Inns.
We contacted JKS Restaurant for further details of its plans in Chiswick but have yet to receive a response.
