Chris Corbin & Jeremy King

Chris and Jeremy have been partners in business for over 25 years. They first met whilst Chris was working at Langan’s Brasserie and Jeremy at Joe Allen’s, both influential restaurants on the London scene in the late 1970s-early 80s. In 1981, together with Joseph Ettedgui,  they bought and refurbished Le Caprice which had originally opened in the 1940s.  After a difficult start it became a great success and Chris and Jeremy were able to buy out their partner. The Ivy was subsequently acquired in 1990 and was a phenomenon consistently topping the Zagat and Hardens Guides as most popular restaurant. They continued their theme of restoring faded restaurants to their former glory by buying J Sheekey in 1998. In the same year, they sold Caprice Holdings Limited to Signature Restaurants although continued to work until 2000. After a break from 'the floor' they acquired the site that became The Wolseley, opening in November 2003.
