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
Auditor: Stein Richards
Audit opinion: Unqualified (clean)
Going concern: Affirmed
“After reviewing the company's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate cash resources to cover the company's requirements for working capital expenditure for at least the next twelve months from the date of approval of these accounts. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”

Significant events

“The company operated from two sites (2023: three sites) during the year with sales being at the expected level.”
“The current cost of living crisis and its impact on consumer's disposal income presents a risk to any consumer business. High levels of inflation across food, labour and energy costs coupled with a potential slowdown in economic growth present a short to medium term risk of reduced margins.”
“The hospitality sector continues to face a tight labour market and access to high quality team members is a risk.”

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