Groupe Chez Gérard was originally founded in 1986, building and further developing the success of brands such as Chez Gérard, Bertorelli and Livebait.
In April 2003 Paramount acquired the business and since then we have gone from strength to strength. In 2005 Caffè Uno joined the Paramount family to double the size of the business almost overnight.
We are now cultivating two new exciting offshoots from our established and well known brands. Brasserie Gérard takes the success of our renowned Chez Gérard restaurants and builds upon it with a menu drawing on French influences in an informal setting.
While iL Bertorelli offers the true taste and spirit of Italy that the family brought to the UK when they opened their first Bertorelli restaurant in the early 1900s.
As one of the largest private restaurant company in the UK, we now operate nearly 80 restaurants nationwide. We have never been stronger or more diverse and our future looks exceptionally bright..
