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

“The directors acknowledge that trading conditions will remain difficult in the near term, particularly as sector-wide payroll and utility costs show little sign of abating. However, the Group has demonstrated resilience through year-on-year turnover growth, stable operating profit, and continued focus on people and guest experience. Management remain determined to address margin pressures and are confident that, through a combination of cost discipline, investment in people, and selective capital expenditure, the Group is well-positioned to navigate current challenges and preserve long-term value.”

Significant events
- “Group turnover increased by 13% to £9.88m (2024: £8.72m), reflecting price adjustments made to offset significant cost inflation. Gross profit improved modestly to £3.75m (2024: £3.52m), but operating profit remained flat at £1.02m (2024: £1.10m), underlining the continuing pressure on margins. Profit after tax fell to £0.37m (2024: £0.56m), reflecting increased cost pressures and higher taxation.”
