Information for general guidance, drawn from the public record. Not legal, financial, or insolvency advice. If you are affected by an insolvency, consult a licensed practitioner or qualified solicitor.
Members of Rocco Partnership Limited, the Bideford company behind the Claytons & The Glasshouse restaurant brand, resolved to wind the business up on 11 June 2026, with Andrew Ryder of JT Maxwell Limited appointed liquidator the same day.
The resolution
A general meeting was convened at 11:00am on 11 June 2026 at the company's registered office at 69 High Street, Bideford, Devon. Members passed a special resolution confirming that Rocco Partnership Limited could not continue trading by reason of its liabilities and that it was advisable to wind the company up voluntarily.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation, commonly called a 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.
Barbara Katarzyna Zydzik chaired the meeting. She and Mariusz Lukasz Marchewka are both directors of Rocco Partnership Limited, each appointed when the company was incorporated on 17 August 2022. Neither has resigned.
The liquidator appointment
Members and creditors appointed Andrew Ryder, IP number 17552, of JT Maxwell Limited as liquidator. JT Maxwell Limited is based at Unit 1 Lagan House, 1 Sackville Street, Lisburn. Ryder can be contacted at corporate@jtmaxwell.co.uk or on 02892 448110.
A liquidator is the licensed insolvency practitioner who realises the company's assets and distributes the proceeds to creditors. Ryder's role differs from that of an administrator, whose statutory duties run wider and include the possibility of rescue.
The company
Rocco Partnership Limited traded as Claytons & The Glasshouse in the licensed restaurants sector under SIC code 56101. Its registered office was at 69 High Street, Bideford, Devon, EX39 2AT.

The London Gazette published both the resolution notice and the liquidator appointment notice on 12 June 2026.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Rocco Partnership 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 Rocco Partnership 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 Rocco Partnership 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 Rocco Partnership 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.
