"We are delighted to have joined the Premium Segment of the London Stock Exchange. Since we published our IPO prospectus earlier this year, I am pleased to confirm that our trading performance has continued to be strong and in line with our expectations. Like-for-like sales remain positive in both our drinks and food business and across both brands.

We continue to make significant progress in developing our new site pipeline and we look forward to some exciting new bar openings before Christmas, details of which we will confirm in September. We will also be updating the market both on existing bar estate performance and our development plans at that time."
