Material uncertainty over going concern
The directors are confident of the Company's ability to secure financing within the time frame necessary to ensure continued liquidity through the going concern period and are in active discussions in this regard. However currently no extension has been agreed on the deferral of the capital repayments and the overdraft renewal date of 30 April 2025 and therefore committed financing is not in place as at the date of approval of these financial statements and as such, this represents a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Significant events
- “The financial year to 31st March 2024 presented another difficult challenge for the business, particularly due to inflationary pressures across all costs, continued high interest rates, and a significant increase in the national minimum wage.”
- “The impact of inflation has weakened demand, particularly in the leisure market, where indoor dining and short-term breaks faced reduced occupancy levels and room rates.”

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
