The company of London chef Tom Aikens was put into administration last week, owing thousands of pounds to suppliers. The collapse comes only two months after eco-friendly fish and chip shop Tom's Place closed following complaints from local Chelsea residents. Aikens' remaining two restaurants, Tom Aikens and Tom's Kitchen, were bought by private investment company Oakley Capital. AA Gill described the purchase as "one clever body swerve that nutmegs all those impertinent creditors and suppliers".
