The Business and Property Courts in Bristol issued a winding-up order against Chata PL Ltd, a food service operator registered at 11 Salmon Parade, Bridgwater, on 7 April 2026. The case was filed as number 000016 of 2026.
A winding-up order places a company into compulsory liquidation, unlike a creditors' voluntary liquidation resolved by a company's own members. From the date of the order, the company's assets pass to a liquidator, who realises those assets and distributes the proceeds to creditors.
The petition and order
The petition was filed on 27 January 2026, roughly ten weeks before the court made the order. The notice does not identify the petitioning creditor.
Chata PL Ltd was incorporated on 16 May 2021 and traded under SIC code 56102, which covers unlicensed restaurants and cafes. Its registered office at 11 Salmon Parade, Bridgwater, TA6 5AN, remains the address of record.
The liquidator
The Official Receiver, S Brindley, was appointed liquidator on 7 April 2026, the same day the order was made. The Official Receiver is a civil servant of the Insolvency Service who automatically takes office as liquidator on most winding-up orders. Creditors may subsequently nominate a licensed insolvency practitioner if they choose to do so. Brindley operates from PO Box 18938, Birmingham, B2 2DY, and can be contacted on 0300 678 0016 or at Enquiries.Liquidation@insolvency.gov.uk.
The director
Mariusz Muskietorz has been the sole director of Chata PL Ltd since the company was incorporated on 16 May 2021. No resignation is recorded at Companies House, so he held the role at the time the order was made.
Accounts and filing history
The company's last filed accounts were made up to 31 May 2023 and prepared on a total exemption full basis, which applies to smaller companies below the statutory thresholds. Accounts for the following period were due by 28 February 2025. No secured charges are registered against the company at Companies House.

On a winding-up order, employees are usually dismissed immediately. Wages owed up to a statutory cap, holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy may be claimable from the Redundancy Payments Service.

Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from Chata Pl Limited?
Customers rank as unsecured creditors in the liquidation. Where you paid by credit card and the amount was over £100, Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 may let you claim from the card issuer for breach of contract or misrepresentation by the supplier; the rules apply per item, not per transaction, and the card must be a regulated credit card. Debit-card payments may be recoverable via chargeback.
Are you a director of a company connected to Chata Pl Limited?
Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 applies the moment the winding-up order is made. If you intend to be involved in another company using the same or a similar name within five years, you must rely on one of the three statutory exceptions. The Official Receiver also has a statutory duty to investigate director conduct and report under the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986.
