                        AGM STATEMENT


At  the AGM of City Centre Restaurants plc held today, James
Naylor,  Chief  Executive, made the  following  comments  on
current trading:

'We  are continuing to see the benefits of the strategy  put
in  place  in  1999.   Sales  in the  first  third  of  this
financial  year are on budget and ahead of last  year  on  a
like for like basis.

'Since  the start of the year we have opened 10  of  30  new
restaurants  planned  for this year and  these  are  trading
satisfactorily.  We are also well advanced with  our  annual
programme of reinvesting in our established restaurants.

'Overall,  with less disruption than last year,  and  market
conditions  that are generally favourable, we  approach  the
remainder of the year with confidence.'
