Various Eateries has reported a 6% increase in revenues to £52.4m for the year ended 28 September 2025, having seen a recovery in like-for-like sales.
The group, which operated Coppa Club and Noci, also recorded a jump in adjusted EBITDA from £300k to £1.4m during the period. Gross profits rose 64% to £5.7m, while net cash reached £4.6m.
Like-for-like sales grew by 2% across the period, a reversal of the 1% decline seen in 2024. Growth was driven by the Coppa Club brand, which saw a 3% increase. The company noted improved performance in the second half of the year, with like-for-like sales rising 4%.
Various Eateries appointed Mark Loughborough as chief executive in January 2025, and following the period end, it named a new managing director and culinary director to its leadership team.
The group is currently consolidating its portfolio around Coppa Club and Noci, its two primary brands.
Trading in the new financial year started with 9% like-for-like sales growth during the five-week Christmas period. Coppa Club recorded a 12% increase during this time. The group is currently evaluating potential acquisitions alongside plans for new site openings.
Loughborough said: “FY25 was a clear step forward for Various Eateries, where we turned intent into delivery. We tightened execution across the estate, strengthened the team and embedded a more disciplined, consistent way of operating, giving us a stronger platform to build from. The return to like-for-like growth and record adjusted EBITDA is the result, and a huge credit to our teams given the challenging consumer backdrop and ongoing cost pressures across the sector.
“The focus now is on the next phase. We have a clearer playbook and real momentum, as evidenced in the solid start to FY26, including a particularly strong Christmas period. Our goal is to build a bigger, better hospitality group by scaling our brands with discipline, investing selectively in the estate and, alongside organic growth, actively assessing high-quality, complementary M&A opportunities where the strategic fit is clear and the quality and returns stack up.”
