Banh Banh Limited, the company behind Ba Ba at 46 Peckham Rye, was put into voluntary liquidation on 6 November. Its website still shows opening hours.
The company that runs Ba Ba, the Southern Vietnamese restaurant at 46 Peckham Rye, is moving towards liquidation. Its directors have called a creditors’ decision on appointing a liquidator for Friday 6 November.
Updated 10 November: the company has now gone into liquidation. A Gazette notice published on 10 November says resolutions to wind Banh Banh Limited up voluntarily were passed on 6 November. Richard Jeffrey Rones of ThorntonRones Limited was appointed liquidator. On 10 November Ba Ba’s website was still showing its opening hours and booking links.
The notice was published in The London Gazette on 30 October. It names the company as Banh Banh Limited (company number 09090723), with the trading name Ba Ba and a principal trading address of 46 Peckham Rye, SE15 4JR.
What the notice says
- The directors are seeking a decision from creditors on who should be liquidator.
- A resolution to wind up the company is to be considered on 6 November.
- The meeting is virtual, by teleconference, at 3pm on 6 November.
- Creditors’ proofs of debt must reach the nominated liquidator by 4pm on 5 November for their votes to count, unless the chair accepts them later.
- The nominated liquidator is Richard Jeffrey Rones of ThorntonRones Ltd, 311 High Road, Loughton, Essex.
This is the notice that opens a creditors’ voluntary liquidation, the route directors take when a company cannot pay its debts. It does not by itself close the restaurant, and the notice says nothing about whether Ba Ba will keep trading.
The company
Companies House lists Banh Banh Limited as incorporated on 17 June 2014, registered as a licensed restaurant and takeaway. Its accounts for the year to 31 December 2025 were due by 30 September 2026 and are shown as overdue. Its registered office is now the Uxbridge business centre given in the Gazette notice.
The notice covers the Peckham Rye address only. It does not mention Bánh Bánh, the Vietnamese restaurant at 326 Coldharbour Lane in Brixton, whose own website was listing its usual opening hours on Monday.
Is Ba Ba still open?
On Monday afternoon Ba Ba’s website was still showing its opening hours and its booking and ordering links. The restaurant’s most recent Instagram post, on 20 October, introduced the woman behind the name. It has posted nothing about the notice.
