Restaurant group Tortilla saw sales rise by a fifth over the past year as the Mexican-themed chain despite the impact of train strikes and poor weather.
The 85-strong chains said revenues rose 20% to £57.7m over the 12 months to January 1, compared with the same period the previous year.
Tortilla's growth was driven by the opening of 18 new venues, including in Durham, Canterbury and Coventry. And it also told investors it has a “strong pipeline” of new venues to open in coming months, including sites in Derby and Greenwich, London.
