The restaurant chain has more than 70 locations in the UK and Sky News reports that 60 of these are profitable – meaning some could potentially close in the future
Côte Brasserie could be set to close further restaurants as its owner reportedly prepares to auction off the business.
Sky News reports that Partners Group, which bought Côte out of administration in a deal said to be worth £55million in 2020, is working with Interpath Advisory to search for new investors.
Côte has 72 restaurants in the UK, according to its website, and Sky News reports that 60 of these are profitable. The news website said this implies “there could be scope for further closures”.
Côte has almost 100 restaurants before it fell into administration five years ago. You can find a full list of all the current Côte restaurants below. The Mirror has contacted Partners Group for comment on the report.

It comes after TGI Fridays revealed it has launched a new UK menu following a major rescue deal that was made last year. The UK operator of TGI collapsed into administration in September last year – but the brand was saved when it was acquired by private equity firms Breal Capital and Calveton UK.
However, the deal only saved 51 restaurants – meaning 35 restaurants had to shut down and around 1,000 members of staff were made redundant.
TGI – which is known for its US-themed dishes and cocktails – now has 49 restaurants and around 2,500 members of staff. In an update today, TGI said it has undergone a significant transformation since being bought out of administration in October.
TGI Fridays first opened in New York in 1965 with a party-led theme and continues to operate a string of restaurants in the US. It then opened its first restaurant in the UK in the 1980s and has been a popular destination for birthday parties and cocktail nights for the last 40 years.
Meanwhile, it was revealed that fish and chip shop chain Deep Blue Restaurants sold off nine of its branches between October 2024 and May 2025 in order to generate more money for another of its well-known brands.
Deep Blue Restaurants also owns Harry Ramden’s, having purchased the company from Boparan Restaurant Group six years ago in 2019.
The funds from the sale of the nine Deep Blue Restaurants were used to refurbish some Harry Ramsden’s locations, as well as marketing campaigns. The company has 16 Deep Blue restaurants and eight Harry Ramsden’s sites, according to its website.
