A kebab shop in Swindon is still open as normal despite a company that used to own it collapsing with nearly £28,000 of debt.

MCCK Food appointed a voluntary liquidator on August 26 and passed a resolution to wind up the business on August 28.

It was based at 87 Cricklade Road in Gorse Hill, which is where the Diamond Kebab House operates.

Documents published on Companies House show that the company has liabilities totalling £27,882.13, while the only asset listed is Goodwill valued in the accounts at £2,500, which is expected to realise no value.

The largest creditor is HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), which is owed £23,090.57 for VAT plus a further £1,864.05 in VAT penalties.

Other creditors include Lloyds Bank plc, which is owed £1,615.51 relating to a Bounce Back Loan Scheme borrowing, and the company director Mustafa Dayan, who is owed £1,312.

Although this company has fallen into liquidation, the kebab shop remains in business as another company, Gorshill Diamond Kebab House, was incorporated in January 2026 with director Erdal Alaca and is listed separately as being based at the same premises.

The takeaway has a four out of five ‘Good’ food hygiene rating and positive online reviews.
