Urban Pubs and Bars has reported a 32% increase in turnover to £79.6m for the financial year ended 27 April 2025.
The group delivered EBITDA of £12.3m during the period, spelling a 41% jump from £8.7m the previous year.
In the 12 months following the reporting date, the business delivered site EBITDA of £23m. This is an uplift of almost 50% compared to the 2025 financial year.
Growth was driven by a site acquisition programme, refurbishments, and the annualisation of sites acquired in the previous year.
The group, which operates 66 sites across London, also reported its strongest Christmas trading performance to date for the five weeks to 4 January 2026. Festive like-for-like sales grew by 14.5% during the period, while total covers increased by 40% compared to the previous year.
The company recently completed its sixth acquisition of 2026 with the purchase of The Birdcage in East London from Brewdog.
This follows the acquisition of the Albion and East business in October 2025 and five premium pubs, including The Prince Regent in Herne Hill.
Chris Hill, managing director of Urban Pubs and Bars, said: “Delivering over £20m of site EBITDA in the last 12 months is a major milestone for Urban.
“Our record Christmas trading and latest figures reflect the quality of our estate and the strength of our teams. The momentum we have going into 2026 is exceptionally strong.”
