Marston’s has reported a 22% fall in revenue £402m amid Covid disruptions.
However, the pub group has said that trading is back on track since lockdown measures have eased.
Like-for-like sales have jumped 102% since July, which is when most measures eased. The group is still in loss though and posted a pre-tax loss of £17.1m. This is compared to the £388.7m loss a year prior.
“While there are still some challenges to navigate over the months ahead, we believe the worst of the pandemic is now behind us and Marston’s has emerged a stronger, more focused business which is in great shape,” said chief executive, Andrew Andrea.
