May-Clare-Smyth
After announcing last year that she would be leaving the Gordon Ramsay Group after 11 years' service to open her own restaurant, former Restaurant Gordon Ramsay chef patron Clare Smyth took her time to bring about her dream.
Then, finally in May, it was revealed she had found the location - the former Notting Hill Brasserie site on Kensington Park Road - with plans to open autumn 2016, although this has now been pushed back to early 2017.
