The latest sales figures from S4labour reveal a strong rebound for UK hospitality in October 2025, with overall sales up 5.4% year-on-year. London once again led the way, recording an impressive 11.1% uplift compared to the same month last year, while non-London regions experienced growth of 3.3%.
Wet-led venues were the standout performers, with sales rising 11.2% year-on-year across the UK. Food-led sites also saw positive momentum, with sales up 2.4% compared to October 2024.
Richard Hartley, Chief Growth Officer at S4labour, commented:
“After a quiet September, these numbers will be pleasing for operators and provide welcome reassurance as they gear up for the festive period. The gradual return of office workers continues to support city centre locations, helping them to outperform.”
