More customers visited pubs, helping food and drink sales climb during the start of Young’s financial year. The company said like-for-like revenue increased by nearly six per cent across the first 14 weeks, helped by warm weather and interest in the football World Cup. Sales in London remained strong, with chief executive Simon Dodd saying trading has been encouraging.
