During the 13-week period, trading was materially disrupted due to Covid-19 related trading restrictions imposed across England, Scotland and Wales. Total pub revenues for the quarter were £54 million.
Following the imposition of lockdowns across the UK in recent days, all our pubs are closed. We do not have certainty about the timing of reopening, but in view of comments from the Prime Minister about the potential for lifting restrictions as the vaccination programme progresses we anticipate that pubs will be closed for trading until March at the earliest, and expect some of the previous restrictions to remain on reopening.
Despite this disruption, we remain focused on the strategic development of the business.
