STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

Introduction
 
The Directors of the Company present their strategic report together with the audited financial statements for the 15 month period ended 31 December 2025. The prior year was for a 12 month period ended 30 September 2024. This means that the current and previous years financial statements are not entirely comparable. The reason for the change in the year end was for improved comparability with other groups operating in similar markets.

Business review
 
The Company acts as a intermediate holding company for certain subsidiaries of Bresand Leisure Limited, the restaurants trade collectively as 'the Evolve Collection'. It provides strategic services to restaurants and oversees the Bluebird Membership scheme on behalf of the Evolv Collection, for which is charges.

The 15 month period year under review saw continued progress across the portfolio, with the Group delivering growth in turnover when comparing a like-for-like 52 week period driven by investment and repositioning of existing restaurants, the launch of our Bluebird Membership, our loyalty app and the Vinoteca acquisition in the year. 

The directors have focused on enhancing brand positioning, maintaining high operational standards, and driving profitability through disciplined cost control and strategic investment. 

During the year, the company repositioned key sites, including the reopening of two restaurants, Liverpool Street Chop House and Sartoria, and launching Bluebird in the South Place Hotel restaurant, recognising these three brands as powerhouse brands fit for future growth and reinforcing the Group’s position in the premium dining segment.

Despite a challenging macroeconomic environment, including cost inflation and ongoing labour pressures, the business demonstrated resilience, supported by its diversified portfolio and strong customer demand.

Post balance sheet events

Since the year end management has continued to assess opportunities to expand its portfolio of restaurants, consider new investment opportunities  and review the performance of existing sites. One site, Place Restaurant has been closed pending a strategic review of the site.

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
The principal risks and uncertainties arising from both internal and external factors that could impact the Company’s performance and the related mitigating activities to manage that risk are considered further on. The Company has risk management processes to identify, monitor and evaluate such issues as they emerge enabling the Board to take appropriate action where possible. The factors listed below should be considered in connection with any forward- looking statements in this report. These forward-looking statements reflect the Board’s current expectations concerning future events and actual results may differ from these expectations.

Economic and market risk

The Company, like the wider hospitality sector, is subject to risk around continued impact of train strikes, political uncertainty around Eastern Europe and the Middle East and the subsequent knock-on effects to supply chain costs that these bring. There are specific pressures around utility and labour costs.

The Company is committed to maintaining a highly desirable customer experience. The Evolv brand is synonymous with style and exclusivity. Internal processes ensure that the Company is well positioned to react to market pressures while continuing to deliver a high-quality product at competitive prices to its customers.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

Operational efficiency and cost control

The Company faces growing internal and external cost pressures. These pressures are managed with a focus on improving supply chain management, operational efficiency, and rigorous cost control and by utilising the wider groups size and scale. The Company is constantly looking to implement new initiatives to improve efficiency across the whole business, resulting in lower operating costs without compromising product quality or service levels. This helps support the business’s competitiveness and profitability.

Liquidity, financing and treasury

Key to the financial success of the business is the availability of sufficient bank facilities to permit the Company to meet its obligations and to enable it to continue to fund its growth through investment in new restaurants and in improving its existing venues.

To manage liquidity risk, the group has recently extended its banking facilities to the end of September 2027 as explained below under post balance sheet events.

Major operational risk

In common with other businesses the Company depends on its process and control framework to mitigate the possibility of a major failure in operations, information technology, finance, human resources or other key business processes capable of having an impact on its performance. These failures may be caused by internal factors such as a major information technology systems failure, a supply chain breakdown or failure to retain key personnel. They could also be driven by external events such as disruptions or other adverse events affecting our relationship with or the performance of major suppliers, financial services providers, designers or concessionaires, terrorism or natural disasters and other major events which impact the Company as well as the communities it serves. The Company is committed to developing and strengthening its coordinated risk management and assurance mechanisms to manage these risks in a manner which it believes ensure an appropriate and effective control framework for its businesses at a local, national and corporate level.

Major health and safety and environmental risks

The Company takes its responsibilities in the field of health, safety and the environment very seriously and fully recognises the potential human, reputational and financial consequences of these risks. The business has dedicated teams addressing these risks and follows relevant policies and procedures. During the year the Company continued to take extensive steps to create safe environments for its customers and employees. This involved investment in both training of employees and the physical set up of sites.


This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CGL RESTAURANT HOLDINGS
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of CGL Restaurant Holdings (the 'Company') for the 15 month period ended 31 December 2025, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Balance sheet, the Statement of changes in equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).


In our opinion the financial statements:


give a true and fair view of the state of the Company's affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of its loss for the 15 month period then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.


Basis for opinion


We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.


Conclusions relating to going concern


In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.


Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual ReportOur opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.


We have nothing to report in this regard.


Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:


the information given in the Strategic report and the Directors' report for the 15 month period for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the Strategic report and the Directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic report or the Directors' report.


We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.


Responsibilities of directors
 

As explained more fully in the Directors' responsibilities statement set out on page 3, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CGL RESTAURANT HOLDINGS (CONTINUED)


Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.


Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.

In order to identify and assess the risks of material misstatements, including fraud and non-compliance with laws
and regulations that could be expected to have a material impact on the financial statements, we have
considered:

the results of our enquiries of management and those charged with governance of their assessment of the risks of fraud and irregularities;
the nature of the company, including its management structure and control systems (including the
opportunity for management to override such controls); 
management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements including the company’s remuneration and bonus policies and performance targets; and
the industry and environment in which it operates.

We also considered UK tax and pension legislation and laws and regulations relating to employment and the preparation and presentation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006.

Based on this understanding we identified the following matters as being of significance to the entity:

laws and regulations considered to have a direct effect on the financial statements including UK financial reporting standards, Company Law, tax and pension legislation, distributable profits legislation;
management bias in selecting accounting policies and determining estimates; and
inappropriate journal entries.

We communicated the outcomes of these discussions and enquiries, as well as consideration as to where and how fraud may occur in the entity, to all engagement team members.

Audit procedures were undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations) comprised:

enquiries of management and those charged with governance as to whether the entity complies with such laws and regulations;
enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims;
discussion with the same regarding any known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud;
inspection of relevant legal correspondence;
assessment of matters reported to management in force and the result of the subsequent investigation;
obtaining an understanding of the relevant controls during the period;
challenging key assumptions made by management in their specific accounting policies and estimates;

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CGL RESTAURANT HOLDINGS (CONTINUED)


identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account combinations or crediting revenue or cash;
challenging key assumptions made by management in their assessment of asset valuations;
reviewing the financial statements for compliance with the relevant disclosure requirements;
performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships or unexpected
movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud;
reviewing the minutes of Board meetings and correspondence with HMRC; and
evaluating the underlying business reasons for any unusual transactions.


No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity's controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

1.


General information

The company is a private company limited by share capital, incorporated in England and Wales. The address of the registered office and principal trading address is 16 Kirby Street, London, EC1N 8TS.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies.

As the Company now provides management and administrative services to the Evolv Collection, the profit and loss account for the year has been represented in line with the principal activity.

Amendments to FRS 102

The FRC issued Amendments to FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK in March 2024. The amendments focused on updating accounting requirements to reflect changes in International Financial Reporting Standards, particularly with respect to revenue and leases. Whilst the amendments are not applicable in the current year, they will result in significant changes for the accounting period commencing 1 January 2026.

The primary change for the company is in the treatment of leases which are currently classified as operating leases. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities (net of discounting) will be added to the balance sheet for leases previously classified as operating leases. The impact on the profit and loss account and related disclosures will be to replace rental expense with depreciation on right-of-use assets and include interest payable on unwinding of lease liabilities. The financial impact of adjustments required as a result of the change in FRS 102 has not yet been determined.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.2

Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

The Company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by the FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland":
the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows;
the requirements of Section 3 Financial Statement Presentation paragraph 3.17(d);
the requirements of Section 11 Financial Instruments paragraphs 11.42, 11.44 to 11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a)(iii), 11.48(a)(iv), 11.48(b) and 11.48(c);
the requirements of Section 12 Other Financial Instruments paragraphs 12.26 to 12.27, 12.29(a), 12.29(b) and 12.29A;
the requirements of Section 4 Statement of financial position paragraphs 4.12 to 4.13;
the requirements of Section 33 Related Party Disclosures paragraph 33.7.

This information is included in the consolidated financial statements of Bresand Leisure Limited as at 31 December 2025 and these financial statements may be obtained from 14th Floor, 33 Cavendish Square, London, W1G 0PW.

 
2.3

Exemption from preparing consolidated financial statements

The Company is a parent company that is also a subsidiary included in the consolidated financial statements of a larger group by a parent undertaking established under the law of any part of the United Kingdom and is therefore exempt from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements under section 400 of the Companies Act 2006.

 
2.4

Going concern

The company is party to funding arrangements covering various entities within the Bresand Leisure Limited group (the "Group"). The company has provided a cross-guarantee to this banking group and so is bound by the covenant requirements of the banking group as a whole.

In assessing the going concern basis of preparation of the financial statements for the 15 month period ended 31 December 2025, the directors have taken into consideration detailed cash flow forecasts for the business and the forecast compliance with bank covenants covering a period of at least 12 months from the date these financial statements were authorised for issue.

The forecasts indicate that the group has sufficient liquidity to realise its assets and meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date these financial statements were authorised for issue. The banking covenant (based on minimum liquidity) will be met for that period. The current trading performance of the group provides comfort to the directors in their forecasts.

As part of the assessment of the going concern principal, management have considered the risks to the liquidity of the group. Even in severe but plausible downside scenarios the group has means available to it to manage its cashflows, such that it has sufficient liquidity to meet its covenants, realise its assets and meet its liabilities as they fall due. In only the most extreme case involving a prolonged reduction in sales, which it does not regard as reasonably likely based on the recent performance of the group, would the group require additional liquidity. Should this need arise the business has the ability within the current facility agreement to provide additional liquidity necessary, such that the covenants remain achieved. Based on discussions the Board have had with shareholders and investors of the group, they are confident any short-term funding required would be made available, however it is not currently needed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.4
Going concern (continued)

 
Based on the forecasts prepared and the scenarios modelled, in the directors view the risk of default  of bank facilities, and therefore inability to meet liabilities as they fall due, is not considered a reasonably likely one and so the level of uncertainty is not considered material. Given the above and the current trading performance of the group, the directors are satisfied preparing the financial statements on a going concern basis is appropriate.

 
2.5

Turnover

Turnover represents amounts recharged to group companies for strategic and marketing services, and supplier rebates.

 
2.6

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 
2.7

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

 
2.8

Current and deferred taxation

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that:
The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.




 
2.9

Exceptional items

Exceptional items are transactions that fall within the ordinary activities of the Company but are presented separately due to their size or incidence.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.10

Tangible fixed assets

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 charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Long-term leasehold property
-
Over the shorter of the lease period and 25 years, having consideration to provisions contained in the lease for future potential lease renewals
Plant and machinery
-
Over 4 years
Fixtures and fittings
-
Over 10 years

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 profit or loss.

Fixed assets are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication that the assets are impaired. Where there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, the carrying value of the asset (or cash-generating unit to which the asset has been allocated) is tested for impairment. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s (or CGU’s) fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (CGUs). Fixed assets that have been previously impaired are reviewed at each reporting date to assess whether there is any indication that the impairment losses recognised in prior periods may no longer exist or may have decreased.

 
2.11

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

 
2.12

Stocks

Stocks consist of raw materials and consumables, crockery and linen. Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis.

At each balance sheet 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 profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.13

Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

 
2.14

Cash and cash equivalents

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.

 
2.15

Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

 
2.16

Financial instruments

The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the Company's Balance sheet when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally 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.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting period date.

Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.16
Financial instruments (continued)

If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after the deduction of all its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the Company transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the Company will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
