Excellent update from Spoons having a knock on here me thinks! Wetherspoon rose 3.6%, after the pub chain said like-for-like sales rose 5.2% in the 13 weeks to April 28 from a year earlier, while year-to-date like-for-like sales rose by 8.3%.

8 cooling towers

[mexico man] 03/5/2024 07:42

The eight towers is marstons named after the fiddlers ferry coal fired power station

[heatseek77] 02/5/2024 21:49

Mexico I'm assuming the eight towers is Marston?

[mexico man] 02/5/2024 21:24

Only because I'm working or I'd be in there

[barnes4] 02/5/2024 20:22

Omg that’s a crazy thing to say

[mexico man] 02/5/2024 20:15

Drove past the eight towers widnes earlier and the beer garden was very busy

[boffster] 01/5/2024 14:45

I don't think -2% on last year is bad, to say how shockingly awful the weather has been

[heatseek77] 01/5/2024 09:24

Trev 😂🤣, I think they call them functional 🤷

[heatseek77] 30/4/2024 15:44

Also in the DM

"Office for National Statistics figures showed the nationwide average for a pint of lager leapt by 10.8 per cent in the 12 months to last December - from £4.24 to £4.70 and the British Beer and Pub Association says it is now £4.80 - and £5.69 across London."

Has to result in less volume being drunk eventually

[123trev] 30/4/2024 12:35

I think it’s more about the experience now staying in a nice hotel and having a few days away seem to trump a fish finger sandwich and a couple of pints of old dreary.Everytime I look in here it gets lower and I think with good reason.

[fenners66] 30/4/2024 12:25

From the DM about Whitbread

"The owner of Beefeater and Brewers Fayre today announced it will close 200 restaurants and axe 1,500 jobs to focus more on Premier Inn hotels.

Hospitality giant Whitbread announced plans to sell 126 of its less profitable branded restaurants, with 21 sales already having gone through.

It will also convert 112 restaurants into new hotel rooms, having announced a before-tax loss of £36m."

"'Food & Beverage is struggling so far this year, with sales two per cent behind last year and it's some of these weaker performing branded restaurants, which include the likes of Beefeater and Brewers fayre, that Whitbread has put forward for conversion."

barnes4,

You're making a big deal of this Director's purchase but not only is his recent purchase in the market reasonably secure but it also pales into insignificance in the context of the nil-cost options he has been granted.

Mike Ashley was not an insider

[fenners66] 29/4/2024 21:42

Mike Ashley bought £100m of shares in Debenhams - whilst we on ADVFN were questioning their viability ... and lost the lot!
So does that mean he was sure he would lose the lot or does the statement only apply to exactly £100k not £100m ?
