Mission Mars has reported that revenues increased by a record 13% to £36.2m for the three-month trading period ending 28 December 2025.
The hospitality group attributed its performance to the addition of eight new Rudy’s Pizza Napoletana sites and continued strong like-for-like growth at Albert’s Schloss, including its Soho venue.
During the five-week Christmas trading period from 1 December 2025 to 4 January 2026, group like-for-like sales rose 6% year-on-year.
Rudy’s revenue increased by 24% over the quarter, reflecting a combination of new openings and organic growth. The 26 pizzerias delivered like-for-like revenue growth of 6%.
Albert’s Schloss also reported higher sales, with the four venues achieving like-for-like revenue growth of 8% to £7.7m over the same five-week festive period.
Roy Ellis, chief executive of Mission Mars, said: “Q1 is always our most important trading period and sets the tone and expectation for the year ahead. I’m delighted that both brands delivered further growth on strong results in the previous year and traded ahead of their competitive sets according to the CGA RSM Hospitality Business Tracker.
“Trading across the five weeks of Christmas accelerated. I was particularly pleased to see strong like-for-like growth in our oldest Albert’s Schloss, Manchester, and our newest Albert’s Schloss in Soho, London.”
He added: “Our teams not only delivered record revenues but also record levels of NPS and our internal Guest Experience rating. We work hard to encourage great service, so these results are particularly pleasing.”
Both Albert’s Schloss and Rudy’s marked their 10th anniversaries in 2025, with the group noting that more mature venues continued to contribute positively to like-for-like growth.
