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 & accounting basis

Accounting basis: FRS 102
Reporting scope: Standalone (parent only)
Auditor: Wellden Turnbull Limited
Audit opinion: Unqualified (clean)
Going concern: Affirmed
“Having considered the financial position, cash flow forecasts and available facilities, the Directors are confident that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

“In November 2024, the Company completed a refinancing exercise, consolidating all existing bank loans into a single new facility. This provided a clearer repayment profile and improved stability in managing future cash flows.”
“Also in November 2024, the Company acquired The Curious Pig in the Parlour from Marston's PLC. This acquisition further strengthens the Barons estate, adds a high-quality asset to the portfolio, and aligns with the Company's strategy of selective expansion in premium locations.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
