These figures are not disappointing. Brewing and distribution is core, however ongoing development of the Accomodation and Hospitality business is an area where Marstons can achieve significant benefits to Customers and Shareholders. The Inns and Lodges currently offer excellent value, way ahead of the competition. Menu selection is less at Beefeater ( PremierInns), inclusion of Breakfast costs at the Lodges and Inns, disguises the outstanding value offered when compared to Premer Inns.
Going forwards the Accomodation/Hospitality business can produce some significant and outstanding benefits, providing the Board invest in suitable Locations.
