Joe Allen, who has died aged 87, founded his first eponymous theatreland restaurant in New York in 1965 and went on to develop a restaurant empire which included the famous Joe Allen’s bar and restaurant in Covent Garden, a fashionable haunt of actors and theatre folk.
The London Joe Allen, opened by Allen’s business partner Richard Polo in 1977, became one of the most fashionable restaurants in the country, famous less for its American-style food (though its off-menu hamburgers were rated second to none) than for its laid-back New York-style ambience.
