Yu Energy Retail Limited presented a petition to wind up SJP Catering Limited on 5 May 2026, claiming to be a creditor of the Doncaster hospitality business that trades as Jazz Cafe on Printing Office Street.
A winding-up petition is a court filing by a creditor asking the court to make a winding-up order. Filing a petition does not put the company into liquidation; the court must first make the order at a separate hearing. The case has been assigned court number CR-2026-003235 in the Insolvency and Companies List (ChD), the specialist list within the Chancery Division of the High Court that handles insolvency and company-law applications.
The hearing is listed for 10:30 am on 24 June 2026 at the Rolls Building, Fetter Lane, London. Anyone intending to appear, whether to support or oppose the petition, must give notice by 16:00 hours on 23 June 2026 in accordance with rule 7.14 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016.

Common questions
What does a winding-up petition mean for Sjp Catering Limited?
A petition is a court filing, not a court order. Sjp Catering Limited is not yet in liquidation. The court will consider the petition at the date listed in the notice; until then, the company continues to trade, but its bank may freeze accounts and counterparties may stop extending credit. The court can dismiss the petition, adjourn it, or grant a winding-up order.
Are you owed money by Sjp Catering Limited?
You are not yet a creditor in a liquidation; the company is still trading. If you support the petition, you may file a notice of support at the court named in the notice. If the petition is granted, you become an unsecured creditor in the resulting compulsory liquidation and the Official Receiver will invite you to submit a proof of debt.
Did you work at Sjp Catering Limited?
A petition does not by itself terminate your employment. Wages and holiday pay continue to accrue until the company stops paying you or is wound up. Watch the bank position closely; if accounts are frozen, payroll will be the first thing to fail. If the petition is granted, statutory redundancy and notice claims become payable from the Redundancy Payments Service.
Are you a director of Sjp Catering Limited?
Once a petition is filed, the company's directors have a heightened duty to consider the interests of creditors. Continuing to trade where there is no reasonable prospect of avoiding insolvent liquidation can expose directors to personal liability for wrongful trading under Section 214 of the Insolvency Act 1986. Specialist insolvency advice should be taken immediately.
