Chef, restaurateur, TV presenter and author of cookbooks, Jamie Oliver was forced to take the decision to close six of its 42 Italian restaurants in the United Kingdom. As has informed broadcasting Corporation "bi-Bi-si", under sequestration were institutions in the third largest Scottish city of Aberdeen, English resorts Cheltenham and Royal Tunbridge wells, the historic town of Exeter in the English County of Devon, as well as two restaurants in London at the Ludgate hill is St. Paul's Cathedral, and the scenic South-West area of Richmond.

The closure of these points is due to the shortage of visitors, after all, to every restaurant on the network was viable, it needs the weekly visit of at least three thousand customers, but this is not happening. The abolition of the six restaurants will result in at least temporary loss of employment for 120 people. However, the company expects Oliver to pick up the last decent places in other institutions of the same restaurant chain.

41-year-old chef and his business unwittingly suffered from the victory of eurosceptics in last year's referendum on the future UK membership of the European Union. Explaining the reasons for the reduction network, the company Oliver made clear that the uncertainty generated by the prospect of a speedy Brexit, only exacerbates the difficult situation on the market of restaurant services. For example, a target company in Italy, the ingredients for various dishes significantly increased in price due to the generated results of the referendum to a sharp fall in the exchange rate of pound sterling to the Euro.

At the same time, the policy of Oliver and his company outside the United Kingdom can be called the opposite. So, in addition to 28 its Italian restaurants abroad, the British chain plans to open there is still 22 and bring the total number to 50.
