Contrary to an earlier update, The Kings Head/Auberge aren’t undergoing a refurbishment, owners Innventive Operations have gone into administration forcing the closure of this venue as well as La Petit Auberge just across the road.
The company, based in Hampton Hill owns pubs and restaurants across the London area. Last year administrators were forced to again sell 19 venues from the Massive Pub Company only a year after they were sold to Innventive (after Massive’s own administration) due to breaches in the terms of sale and management contract.
As everyone will no doubt have seen, it is undergoing massive works. Catering/property press this week has revealed it’s going to be a Brasserie Blanc – Raymond Blanc’s new brasserie style eatery. Due to open in the autumn!

Thanks Catherine, more info here and here. Everyone seems to be looking forward to this new eatery on the high street and it can’t open soon enough! Should be open in September.
