UK PE firm Epiris is in talks to buy KKR-backed restaurant operator Casual Dining Group, according to Sky News. Other suitors for the crisis-hit business include Elliott Management, but Epiris is understood to be the frontrunner.

KKR’s credit arm acquired CDG alongside Pemberton in 2018 through a debt conversion deal.
