Bow Street Group posts 6.1% like-for-like sales growth in March

Targeted investment lifted performance, with refurbished sites outperforming and others returning to growth.

Bow Street Group delivered 6.1% like-for-like sales growth in March 2026, marking an improvement in early-year trading.

The operator of the Wildwood and dim t brands said performance has strengthened following targeted investment across parts of its estate, with refurbished sites continuing to deliver stronger trading and previously underperforming locations returning to growth.

Operational initiatives have also continued into the current year, including ongoing investment across the estate.

Early trials of the new Wildwood menu have been positively received by customers and are expected to be rolled out more widely across the estate.

For the year ended 28 December 2025 (FY2025), the group reported revenue of £31.3m, down 14.5% year-on-year.

The decline was attributed in part to prior-year estate restructuring, with the business ending the period with 32 restaurants in operation.

Adjusted EBITDA for the period was £2.1m.

Looking ahead, the company said it remains in discussions regarding potential acquisitions of additional restaurant brands, as it seeks scalable growth opportunities alongside continued operational improvements across its existing portfolio.
