Celebrity chef’s Michelin-starred eatery sees losses narrow sharply

Losses narrowed sharply last year at one of thecountry’s most exclusive restaurants — the Michelin-starred Thornton’s — owned by celebrity chef Kevin Thornton.

Abridged accounts just filed with the Companies Office by Conted Ltd, trading as Thornton’s Restaurant, show that the business recorded an after-tax loss of €5,631 in the 12 months to the end of August, after recording a loss of €9,504 in 2012.

The figures show that the firm was sitting on accumulated losses of €79,260, last year, as its cash pile decreased sharply from €120,262 to €80,161.
