(Picture: City Pub Group)The boss of City Pub Group has hailed the return of the Friday night pint after the London-based chain reported a jump in revenues.
The firm, whose sites include Three Crowns on Old Street, Temple Brew House on The Strand and The Cock & Bottle in Notting Hill, said sales were up 7.8% on pre-pandemic levels in the run up to Christmas, after getting a boost from a renaissance of office parties and the unusually-timed winter World Cup.
