The Piano Works Group reports record Christmas trading

Bar and restaurant operator, The Piano Works Group, has reported its “best ever Christmas” with sales of £1.637m for the five weeks up to 23 December.

Like-for-like sales at The Piano Works Farringdon saw an increase of 9% for the year whilst the new West End Piano Works (previously Studio 88) delivered sales of £683,000 – averaging £137,000 per week.

Alan Lorrimer, founder and MD of The Piano Works Group said: “We are delighted with the group’s performance over the festive period – delivering record sales of over £1.6m for the week ending 23 December. Through the launch of The Piano Works West End, a strong food offer, as well as some excellent hires within our sales team, we have been able to optimise sales across both venues.

Our inspired, hard-working operational team delivered a fantastic offer that surprised us all. We are optimistic for 2019 and hope to see a very positive first quarter with some excellent forward bookings and events in the pipeline.”
