The reduction was a 'result of the closures and restrictions on our pub estate for large parts of 2020,' the copany said.

Looking ahead, The company said it expected a rapid return to cash generation and profitability once restrictions were lifted.

The company said it would further reduce its cash burn, which was currently running at about £300,000 per month, and added that it had ample liquidity into 2022.
