A celebrity chef restaurant operator has closed its first Scottish version of a concept venture launched in London but said the move is temporary.

In a Herald exclusive this week, Gordon Ramsay's company insisted the Street Pizza venture would reopen, but gave no further details.

The Michelin-starred Hell’s Kitchen chef took over the former Anima site in Edinburgh around a year ago. It now has the windows covered and door closed.
