Cornish brewer and retailer St Austell, has reported a near 17% like-for-like sales spike last week thanks to the warm weather the UK continues to see.
St Austell, who operates 25 managed pubs and 143 tenanted sites, said it has seen a vast boost of pub visits and drew in tourists of the local area.
Wet sales climbed 18.2% year-on-year, with accommodation up 24% and food sales rising 12% over the previous year.
Marketing director Jeremy Mitchell said in a statement “We’ve been waiting a few years for weather like this – and long may the sun continue to shine. The sales boost has brought us back in line with last year’s results – we had an extended cold spell at the start of this year and there were two Bank Holidays in June last year.”
