Glasgow’s famous Rogano restaurant sues landlord in bid to reopen

The owners of the famous Glasgow restaurant Rogano are suing their landlord so that they can reopen for the first time in four years.

The seafood restaurant – with its distinctive art deco styling – has been closed since the coronavirus pandemic.

Its owners Forthwell Ltd claim it has been unable to reopen because of damage caused by flooding on three occasions between December 2020 and January 2021.

Their lawyers want a judge to order the landlord Pontegadea to provide repairs, or pay damages of £789,000.

The restaurant had welcomed celebrities like Rod Stewart, Jude Law, Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Elizabeth Taylor and Harvey Keitel since it first opened in 1935.

Forthwell’s legal team stated flooding damage to the restaurant was caused by an “insured risk” and that Pontegadea breached its obligation to maintain the Rogano and allow it to trade.

They claim it was unable to reopen because the flooding had left the building with “substantial damage”.

But lawyers for Pontegadea argued the restaurant’s owners had their own insurance, and therefore the claim should be struck out.
