Significant events

• “Since the beginning of 2025 Kingston Restaurants Ltd has been targeted by fraudsters impersonating our business to extract lines of credit from businesses. Any contacts made which we have been aware of have been logged with the National Fraud and Cyber Reporting Centre. To date, the directors can confirm that this has not resulted in any financial loss to the company.”
• “The business sold two restaurants in December 2024 which underpinned these results.”
• “Total company turnover was £50,266,140, representing a reduction of 2.42% on 2023 which was largely because of the sale of two restaurants in early December 2024.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
