The High Court of Justice made a compulsory liquidation order against Ghatte Kulo Ltd, a licensed restaurant registered in South Wimbledon, on 17 June 2026, less than two months after a petition was filed against it.
A winding-up order places a company into compulsory liquidation, an insolvency process imposed by the court rather than resolved voluntarily by the company's own members. The petition was received on 29 April 2026 and the matter was heard under case number 003358 of 2026.
The liquidator
The Official Receiver, the civil servant of the Insolvency Service who automatically takes office as liquidator on most winding-up orders, was appointed on 17 June 2026, the same date the order was made. The Official Receiver's office handling this case is based at PO Box 16657, Birmingham, B2 2ER. It can be contacted by email at SouthEast.OR@insolvency.gov.uk or by telephone on 0300 678 0016.

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. The Official Receiver will provide RP1 case-reference numbers and the date of insolvency you need to start the claim. See gov.uk: your rights if your employer is insolvent.
Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from Ghatte Kulo 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 Ghatte Kulo 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.
