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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on their assessment of the points above the directors consider that the company will continue to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future, a period not less than 12 months from the date of signing of the financial statements. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “A significant milestone was the commencement of in-house bakery production at Bermondsey. This development has enhanced product quality, production efficiencies, and streamlined supply chains leading to fewer lost sales opportunities.”
- “Investment in retail optimisation continues, with two properties earmarked for refurbishment in 2025 and 2026 to enable the company to continue to deliver the high quality retail experience that its loyal customers have come to expect.”
- “Subsequent to the reporting date but prior to approval of the financial statements, the company has committed to a c. £ 370,000 capital refurbishment to substantially upgrade its Askew Road property in August 2025.”
- “On 23 August 2025, a general meeting of the shareholders took place and a proposal to adopt new articles of association was passed by special resolution. Pursuant to these articles, the company issued and allotted on 3 September 2025 25,000 ordinary shares of £1 each with a share premium of £3.00 each and 1,021,600 redeemable convertible preference A shares of £1.00 each. Pursuant to a further special resolution passed at the meeting and pursuant to section 690 of the Companies Act 2006, the company purchased the outstanding preferred ordinary shares for a total consideration of £871,600. This was upon receipt of the subscription monies above. The net financial effect of the above was to increase cash resources by £250,000.”
