Operations Director, Richard Miller, Leaves

ORIENTAL RESTAURANT GROUP PLC
28 October 1999


Oriental Restaurant Group Plc announce that Richard
Miller, Operations Director, will be leaving the
Group on 31st October 1999 in order to pursue
personal interests.  Mr. Miller has been with the
Company since 1995 with the responsibility of
overseeing the day to day operations of the Group's
well-established restaurants.  In light of Mr. Miller
leaving the Group he resigned from the Board
yesterday.

The Group's focus in the last twelve months has been
on establishing an infrastructure to support the roll
out of its Yellow River Cafe concept to multiple
locations.  This preparatory process has seen a
central kitchen established in West London and the
addition of new senior management and key personnel
to lead that division.

The Board believes that the Group is well positioned,
both in its infrastructure and management, to
successfully establish the Yellow River Cafe
commencing with the opening of the first three sites
within the next three months.  The Yellow River Cafe
benefits from the creative involvement of renowned
celebrity chef Ken Hom.

The search for a successor to Mr. Miller has already
commenced and the background and skills of the
appointee will continue to reflect the Group's
increasing focus on its roll out restaurant concept.
