Accumulated profits at Michelin-starred restaurant, Chapter One, last year continued to rise, topping €277,000.

New accounts filed by Lindley Ltd that operates Chapter One show that the firm's accumulated profits increased by €24,768 from €252,695 to €277,463 in the 12 months to the end of February 28th this year.

The firm’s cash jumped by 30% during the year, climbing from €526,515 to €683,121.

The continued growth in the business follows its chef patron, Ross Lewis, being asked to cook for Queen Elizabeth II at the State banquet during her visit in 2011.
