""After a tough few months for hospitality, the warm weather has given managed pubs a very bright start to the second quarter.""
""While the sun continues to shine, pubs with outdoor spaces can expect trade to remain strong.""
In April 2025, Britain's managed pub groups experienced a notable 9.1% like-for-like sales growth, primarily due to favorable warm weather conditions encouraging outdoor patronage. This growth contrasts with a decline of 0.9% in restaurant sales and a 4.5% drop in bars. Overall hospitality sales were up by 4.2% compared to the previous year, easing concerns over the challenging start to the year. Notably, trading outside London's M25 was significantly better, with a 5.5% increase. Experts warn, however, that high operational costs pose ongoing challenges.
