Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the income can be reliably measured. Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before income is recognised:

Sale of goods

Turnover from the sale of food and drinks is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:

• the company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;    

• the company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

• the amount of turnover can be measured reliably;                         

• it is probable that the company will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and

• the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Rendering of services

Turnover from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:

• the amount of turnover can be measured reliably;    

• it is probable that the company will receive the consideration due under the contract;

• the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and

• the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.

Interest income is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income using the effective interest method.

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of an asset, net of anticipated disposal proceeds, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

No depreciation is provided for on the company's heritable land and buildings. It is the Directors opinion that the residual value of these is at least equal to the book value. Having regard to this, it is considered that the depreciation of any such property as required by the Companies Act 2006 and standard accounting practice would not be material.

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Bar stocks and green-keeping materials are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is based on the cost of purchase price on a first in, first out basis.

At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

The company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.

Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost, unless it qualifies as a loan from a director in the case of a small company, or a public benefit entity concessionary loan.

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.

For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of Financial Position when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The tax expense for the year comprises of current tax. Corporation tax is chargeable on income or surpluses derived from transactions with non-members, including interest income. The current tax charge is calculated of the rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

The company contributes to an employee group personal pension plan and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the plan in respect of the year.

No significant judgements have had to be made by management in preparing these financial statements.

The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the year was:

The Directors received no remuneration during the year.

The above represents cash on deposits which cannot be repaid within three months of the year end.

The company contributes to an employee group personal pension plan. The assets of the plan are held separately from those of the company in independently administered funds. The pension costs charge represents contributions payable by the company to the fund and amounted to £33,291 (2023 - £29,353). Other creditors include the sum of £8,599 (2023 - £2,876) payable to the fund at the reporting date.
