Samrat Indian Cuisine (Ealing) Ltd, of 52 Pitshanger Lane, went into creditors' voluntary liquidation on 21 October. Who the liquidators are and how creditors claim.

The company behind the Samrat Indian restaurant at 52 Pitshanger Lane is being wound up. Samrat Indian Cuisine (Ealing) Limited went into creditors’ voluntary liquidation on 21 October 2026, according to two notices in The London Gazette.

What the notices say

The company’s members passed two resolutions on 21 October. The first says the company “cannot, by reason of its liabilities, continue its business, and that it is advisable to wind up the same”. The second appoints joint liquidators (Gazette notice 5237116).

The second notice records the appointment (Gazette notice 5237138):

Detail What the Gazette records
Company Samrat Indian Cuisine (Ealing) Limited, number 06447819
Nature of business Restaurant
Principal trading address 52 Pitshanger Lane, Ealing, London W5 1QY
Type of liquidation Creditors’ voluntary liquidation
Date of appointment 21 October 2026
Appointed by Members and creditors
Joint liquidators Peter Wastell and William John Turner, Verulam Advisory, St Albans

A creditors’ voluntary liquidation is started by a company’s own shareholders when it cannot pay its debts. It is not a court winding-up order. The liquidators sell what the company owns and share the money among the people it owes.

What Companies House shows

The company was incorporated on 7 December 2007 and is registered as a licensed restaurant (Companies House). Its filings had already fallen behind before the liquidation:

  • accounts for the year to 31 January 2025 were due by 31 October 2025 and are listed as overdue
  • the confirmation statement due by 16 November 2025 is also listed as overdue
  • the register shows an active proposal to strike the company off

When we checked on 6 November, Companies House still gave a Harrow registered office and had not yet recorded the liquidation. The Gazette notices give the company’s address as Verulam Advisory’s office in St Albans.

Neither notice says whether the restaurant is still trading or what happens to the premises. A company going into liquidation does not stop a new business opening at the same address.

What it means for you

  • If the company owes you money, for example as a supplier, landlord or customer with an unused deposit or voucher, contact the liquidators. The Gazette gives their email as info@verulamadvisory.co.uk, quoting Samrat Indian Cuisine (Ealing) Limited.
  • The liquidators decide who gets paid and in what order. Secured lenders and some employee claims come first under insolvency law, so unsecured creditors often receive only part of what they are owed.
