The latest figures from S4labour reveal a steady performance for UK hospitality in November 2025, with overall like-for-like sales up 0.9% year-on-year.

London continued to lead the way, posting a 6.7% uplift compared to November 2024, while non-London regions saw a decline of 1.2%, underlining tougher trading conditions outside the capital.

Wet-led venues delivered the strongest growth, with sales up 1.4% year-on-year. Dry-led sites also saw a modest increase of 0.6%, reflecting more cautious consumer spending on food.

Richard Hartley, Chief Growth Officer at S4labour, commented:
“After a buoyant month in October (+5.4%), November is much more modest with the majority of businesses in decline. Following the recent budget announcement this level of sales is a concern for many operators.”
