- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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 ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “short-term closures for two venues for renovations during the year which impacted on both sales and profits, but the results were in line with forecasts.”
- “Forecasts have been prepared for 2025 with growth expected in event sales, which along with enhanced wage monitoring and reduced energy rates is expected to lead to improvements in profitability.”
- “The economic outlook with high inflation and interest rates will continue to create a challenging landscape for hospitality and tourism, but the Directors are confident that the diversity within the business will ensure it can adapt to changing customer demands.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
