Aberdeen Angus Steak Houses : ウィキペディア英語版
Angus Steakhouse

Angus Steakhouse is a restaurant chain of steak houses in central London. Previously some used to trade as Aberdeen Steak House. In 2001, there were about 30 outlets; six remain open as of January 2015. The name reflects Aberdeen Angus, a common breed of beef cattle.
==History==
Aberdeen Steak Houses was started in the early 1960s by Reginald Eastwood〔(Noble cause saves steakhouse chain ) Jenny Little, ''Mail on Sunday'' 27 April 2003〕 (born c.1913〔), who had started in business aged 15 as an apprentice butcher.〔 Eastwood's vision was for a more modern version of the earlier chop-house grills, and was influenced by American steak houses. The décor was opulent, with plate glass windows and red velour banquettes. Menus included trendy dishes like prawn cocktail and Black Forest gateau. ''The Good Food Guide'' of the 1960s listed the restaurants.〔Jonathan Margolis (We'll meat again ) ''The Evening Standard'', 16 January 2002〕 Eastwood and partner Thomas Beale floated the company on 6 February 1964.〔''Time & tide business world'', vol.45, p.xcv〕 In 1965, it was bought by Golden Egg cafeterias.〔Quentin Letts (R.I.P. the blood-red velvet banquette ) ''Daily Mail'', 5 March 2003〕
By the 1970s, the group was focused more on tourist trade, with many branches in the West End to attract those attending theatre or musical shows.〔 Angus Steak Houses was a subsidiary of Aberdeen Steak Houses with the same business model.〔 In the mid-1970s, the firm had an industrial dispute with the TGWU.
In 1984, the group was sold to Ali Salih, a Turkish businessman with a low public profile.〔〔 The menu and décor showed little update since the 1960s, and the brand got a reputation as tourist traps for foreigners.〔〔〔Adam Edwards, (Who goes there? ) ''Daily Telegraph'', 19 May 2001〕 Business remained strong through the 1980s and at its peak it had an annual turnover of £20m with 700,000 steaks sold.〔 Its 1989 profit was £330,000.〔Husnara Begum, (BLP to rescue steak house from collapse ) ''The Lawyer'', 7 October 2002〕
Its business, along with the wider UK beef industry, was hit in the 1990s by bovine spongiform encephalopathy,〔 then by foot and mouth disease in 2001.〔 It made a loss of £3m in 2000.〔 In April 2001, Salih sold the sites of several branches for £4m.〔 The decline in American tourists after the September 11 attacks was also cited by Salih after the group went into receivership in October 2002, with £7m in debt.〔〔 At the time, it had 16 "Angus Steak House" outlets, six "Aberdeen Steak House", three "Pizza Pasta", two "Maxine's Brasserie", and one each of "American Burger", "American Café Bistro", and "Highland Steak House".〔
Administrators BDO and lawyers Berwin Leighton Paisner kept the firm trading as a going concern, though several of the sites were sold off to pay debts.〔 In 2003, the remaining 21 outlets were bought by Noble Organisation, run by Michael and Philip Noble, whose core business was amusement arcades.〔 In 2008, Noble told ''The Times'' they were "upgrading and refurbishing the restaurants".〔Sathnam Sanghera (Musings on a steakhouse that is not well done ) "Business Life", ''The Times'' 24 May 2008〕
