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
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 Group's or the Parent 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 year has continued to be affected by the cost of living crisis, and like everyone, we have had to adapt to the economic conditions and continue to service our customers' needs. Fortunately, there has been a move from restaurants to takeaway food to save money over the period and this has allowed us to maintain a good level of business.”
- “We anticipate this year will be a similar year to the previous one with growth being limited by the present economic slowdown.”
