Read our privacy policy Thai hotel group Minor International has won a bitter battle for control of Corbin & King, the restaurant group behind the Wolseley and Delaunay in London. The conclusion of the lengthy ownership saga means Jeremy King, who co-founded the renowned group with Chris Corbin, will hand over full control of the business. The founders had sold a controlling stake in the company four years ago and had since fallen out with the Thai firm over Corbin & King’s plans following the pandemic. “Regrettably, that attempt failed and Minor Hotel Group was the successful bidder, buying the entire business.” Mr King said he therefore no longer has a stake in the company but remains as an employee for the time being.
