Luke Johnson, the serial restaurant investor, has bought the six-strong Feng Sushi business, it has emerged.
Johnson, who heads Risk Capital Partners and has stakes in Giraffe and Patisserie Valerie, has acquired the London group from majority shareholder Chris McFadden, previously an analyst with Merrill Lynch.
The business was established by entrepreneurs Silla Bjerrum and Jeremy Rose 10 years ago.
Details of the deal are thin on the ground but the business has six outlets, comprising four delivery units plus two restaurants, located in Borough Market, Chalk Farm, Fulham, Kensington, Notting Hill and Royal Festival Hall.
Johnson, who has previously invested in Pizza Express, Strada and Belgo, told Management Today that he was attracted to the deal as both Japanese cuisine and home delivery were growth segments in the eating-out market.
