Property veteran David Coffer is eyeing a multimillion-pound windfall after putting his Dirty Martini cocktail chain up for sale.
His company, CG Restaurants & Bars, which owns 12 sites in cities including London, Cardiff and Manchester, has hired advisers to find a buyer after receiving a number of approaches.
