Members of Crave Cuisine Limited voted to wind up the Cambridge restaurant voluntarily on 3 June 2026, with Engin Faik of Cornerstone Business Turnaround and Recovery Limited appointed liquidator the same day.
The resolutions were passed at a general meeting held at 136 Hertford Road, Enfield, Middlesex, not at the company's registered address on Hills Road in Cambridge. Both the registered office and the principal trading address are listed as 221 Hills Road, Cambridge, CB2 8RN.
The resolution
A creditors' voluntary liquidation, or CVL, is an insolvent winding-up resolved by the company's members at the request of its directors, without a court order. It is the single largest stream of UK corporate insolvency by volume.
At the general meeting, members passed a special resolution confirming that Crave Cuisine Limited could not continue its business by reason of its liabilities and that it was advisable to wind up voluntarily. An ordinary resolution followed, appointing the liquidator.
Salim Relizani, a director of the company since its incorporation on 24 July 2020, signed the notice. Relizani is the sole officer on record at Companies House.
Crave Cuisine Limited's most recent accounts were made up to 31 July 2024 and filed as micro-entity accounts. No secured charges are registered against the company.
The liquidator appointment
Engin Faik, holding IP number 9635, was appointed liquidator by both members and creditors on 3 June 2026. An IP number is the licence number issued by an insolvency practitioner's recognised professional body. Faik practises from Cornerstone Business Turnaround and Recovery Limited, whose address is 136 Hertford Road, Enfield, Middlesex, EN3 5AX.
A liquidator is the licensed insolvency practitioner who realises the company's assets and distributes the proceeds to creditors during a liquidation. This role is distinct from that of an administrator, whose statutory duties run wider.
Creditors or others with an interest in the winding-up can contact Faik directly on 020 3793 3338. The appointment and the winding-up resolution were both published in the London Gazette on 9 June 2026.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Crave Cuisine Limited?
In a creditors' voluntary liquidation you are an unsecured creditor unless you hold a registered charge or retention of title. The liquidators will write to known creditors with a proof-of-debt form. A statement of affairs prepared by the directors and the chair of the creditors' decision procedure should be available on request. Read more about proof of debt and where you sit in the creditor hierarchy.
Did you work at Crave Cuisine Limited?
In a CVL, employees are typically dismissed at or shortly after the liquidator's appointment. Wages owed up to a statutory cap, holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy may be claimable from the Redundancy Payments Service. The liquidators will normally provide RP1 case-reference numbers to the affected staff. See gov.uk: your rights if your employer is insolvent.
Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from Crave Cuisine Limited?
Customers with paid-but-undelivered orders, gift cards or deposits 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 Crave Cuisine Limited?
Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 applies the moment the company enters liquidation. 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 and file the relevant notice. Acting in breach is a criminal offence and exposes you to personal liability for the successor's debts.
