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

• “Six further restaurants were opened during the year, and as of the date of this report seven more have been opened in 2025. Three further restaurants are in the process of being redeveloped and we expect them to open before the end of the year.”
• “In 2025 Hickory's (ROS) Limited have opened a further 6 sites in York, Milton Keynes, Standish, Swindon, Sheffield and Leicester. Further restaurants are being developed in Telford, Cardiff and Northampton. The capital spend on these restaurants was £20,385,000 which included freeholds acquired of £8,830,000 from related parties. The capital spend on the sites being developed is anticipated to be £6,600,000 including the associated freeholds costs of £1,090,000 from related parties.”
