Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
Ratios

| Interest cover | — | — | -15.68x | — | — | 16.33x | 5.65x |
Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Margin ratios are hidden where reported turnover is too small relative to profit to yield a meaningful figure — typical of holding companies whose income is mostly subsidiary dividends rather than trading revenue. Sector-distribution context coming next.

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “Our Dining Room and Main Kitchen refurbishment program concluded in May 2024, resulting in reduced revenues in the first two months of our financial year.”
- “The second half of the year was notably more challenging with the impact of ongoing wars in the world, alongside the US elections, having a direct impact on international travellers, resulting in a sub-optimal second half of the financial year.”
- “Administrative expenses are lower £13,821,758 (2024: £14,980,085) reflecting the enhanced expenditure on our Dining Room refurbishment concluded on 2024 with no major repairs done in 2025.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
