The Bellanger sign first appeared in Angel 5 years ago and the restaurant quickly became the place to go for brunch, that business lunch, an after work cocktail and a thousand intimate catch ups.  Like many, I was sad to see it close down in 2019 with its regulars talking of chaining themselves to those banquettes in protest.  A few weeks ago, with the first signs of recovery from lockdown showing around Angel, the talismanic Bellanger sign reappeared back above the shuttered premises, heralding one of the most unexpected and welcome returns of all.  In this episode, I speak to none other than Jeremy King, the inspirational co-founder and CEO of Corbin and King, about why the Bellanger brand is back in the borough and why the new approach will be a winner when the restaurant reopens for business on August 14th.  Welcome home Bellanger, you have been missed by the people (and the dogs) of Angel.
