Restaurateur Sir Terence Conran is reportedly planning a new chain of English cafés in London.

The 78-year-old told the Evening Standard that he “planned to put an English café on the corner of every high street in London, building on the success of his Albion café in Shoreditch”.

Albion specialises in British food, serving dishes such as fish and chips and shepherd’s pie, and Conran has already negotiated leases on sites in Victoria, Regent’s Park and Covent Garden.

He said he was drawing inspiration from Carluccio’s, the Italian café chained founded by his sister Priscilla and her husband Antonio Carluccio.

Conran told the paper: “If you look at Albion, it is in many ways a British version of Carluccio’s, with a small shop and a café. But it makes bread instead of pasta and has well known British dishes on the menu. It is also a bit cheaper, with an average spend of £10 to £12.”

Sir Terence is also planning a second branch of his Boundary restaurant/hotel brand and a new fine dining restaurant.
