He stated the tendency to end parties early benefited pub companies like the City Pub Group, which has changed its drink menus to try and appeal to early drinkers by adding more cocktails.

The company said Wednesday that its sales were up. up 20% in the 23 weeks to June 4 compared to the same period in 2022. However, it is said that similar sales would have been higher were it not for the recent train strikes.

Mr Watson added that the rate of inflation faced by pubs is still high, but some costs have begun to ease.< /p>
