                            Bank Restaurant Group plc



The following is the full text of an announcement released by Conran Holdings
Limited today:


                  "Conran Holdings Limited ("Conran Holdings")


Conran Holdings is pleased to announce that, as anticipated at the time of its
recent #0.36 million investment for a 24.9 per cent. shareholding in Bank
Restaurant Group plc ("Bank Restaurant Group"), it has entered into an
arrangement whereby it is supporting Bank Restaurant Group with its sales and
marketing efforts.


Prior to its investment, the Directors of Bank Restaurant Group and John Moxon,
a 21.6 per cent. shareholder in Bank Restaurant Group, entered into irrevocable
undertakings in favour of Conran Holdings in respect of, in aggregate, 29.9 per
cent. of Bank Restaurant Group's issued share capital to accept an offer from
Conran Holdings (if made) for the entire issued share capital of Bank Restaurant
Group at an offer price of at least 3.125p per share. The undertakings were due
to terminate 60 days following completion of Bank Restaurant Group's recent
fundraising and so expired on 28 October 2003. Notwithstanding this, Conran
Holdings continues to have discussions to establish whether or not to make an
offer for the shares in Bank Restaurant Group not already owned by it.


A further announcement will be made in due course."
