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

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. Sector-distribution context coming next.

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

• “The turnover for the year ended 31 March 2025 was £37m representing a £5.7m [19%] increase on the prior year ended 31 March 2024. The growth in turnover was driven by non-like-for-like site growth at Hampstead and Bicester Village following their opening in the year ended 31 March 2024, as well as growth in large event catering.”
• “Following the development of the new website, the company also saw a 21% increase in online store turnover, supported by the new 'Comfort' cookbook sales. In April 2024 the group launched a grocery range in Waitrose alongside a crafted selection of international retailers. Post year end, the range won 5 Great Taste Awards including a coveted 3 stars for the Pilpelchuma Paste.”
• “In January 2025 the company opened the first international restaurant, at Mandarin Oriental Geneva. The directors are pleased with the performance of the site, which now cements the long-held knowledge that the existing global recognition of the brand paves the way for demand of a bricks and mortar channel internationally.”
• “In December 2024, the company successfully launched on Substack, reaching over 300,000 subscribers after just 6 months. The platform has allowed the company to explore subscription-based content for the first time, reaching our loyal fan base across the world. In February 2025, the company opened the 10th site in the UK, in Richmond, London.”
