Company information
Croston Hall Ltd is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is c/o Eagle & Child, Bispham Green, Ormskirk, Lancashire, United Kingdom, L40 3SG.
1.1
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section
1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the
historical cost convention.
1.2
Revenue
Revenue represents income receivable from the Company's principal activities of operating public houses and
restaurants and is net of value added tax.
Sales of goods and services provided are recognised at the point of sale.
1.3
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Leasehold land and buildings
2% on cost
Leasehold improvements
15% on cost
Fixtures and fittings
15% on cost
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.
1.4
Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting date assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any affected asset is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If the estimated recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount, and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit and loss.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of each asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.
1.5
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell.
1.6
Financial instruments
Trade and other debtors are initially recognised at the transaction price and thereafter stated at amortised cost
using effective interest method, less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts except where the effect of
discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, the receivables are stated at cost less impairment losses for bad
and doubtful debts.
Short term trade creditors are measured at transaction price. Financial liabilities that have no stated interest rate
and are payable within one year shall be measured at the undiscounted amount due.

1.7
Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and
Retained Earnings, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or
directly in equity.
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the
statement of financial position date.
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from
those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that
have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the
timing difference.
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they
will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.
1.8
Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable for the year are charged in
the income statement.

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