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

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, as the directors believe that the Group will continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern basis of preparation, the Directors have taken into account the key risks to the business, including the ongoing domestic and global economic uncertainty. In doing so, the Directors have considered the Group's business model and availability of cash resources and cite that the Group has been profitable and remains in a healthy net asset position. Although sales may fluctuate, the Group is well positioned and therefore, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Significant events
- “In the year to March 2025, the Group has continued to trade strongly even though the outlook for the UK economy remains challenging and uncertain for the consumers. Whilst global logistics have improved, global security concerns mean that the problems remain and are likely to continue into the foreseeable future.”
- “The lacklustre performance of the UK economy means that the UK hospitality sector continues to face headwinds. HM Government has exposed the sector to increased costs through increases to the national living wage and national insurance, as well as the Extended Producers Responsibilities for waste packaging.”
