The latest sales data from S4labour has revealed that hospitality sales were up 3.5% overall in February, compared to the same month last year.
This uplift was driven by sales in London, which saw an increase of 8.5% overall. Outside of the capital, overall sales were up 2.3% year-on-year.
Wet-led sites across the country saw a decline of 0.2%, however, dry-led sites were up 5.6%.
Chief Growth Officer at S4labour, Richard Hartley, commented: “This year being a leap year meant that there was an additional day of trading in February, which has played its part in the year-on-year increase, though it is not entirely responsible for the uplift.”
