RedCat Hospitality reveals Q2 sales performance

RedCat Hospitality, operator of the Coaching Inn Group and RedCat Independent Pubs, has revealed its sales figures for the second quarter of its financial year.

Performance highlights for the period of July to September 2025 include total sales of £34.6m, with Coaching Inn Group and RedCat Independent Pubs delivering £20.9m and £13.7m respectively. 

While the business, founded and chaired by Rooney Anand, did not reveal any detail on profits for the period, its like-for-like sales were up 4.3% across the group. 

Total accommodation sales came in at £10.7m.

Comment from the CEO

"This was another strong quarter for the business," says RedCat Hospitality CEO Richard Lewis. "Accommodation continues to pull ahead, lifting our group sales to £34.6m, with like-for-like sales up 4.3%. Within The Coaching Inn Group, accommodation like-for-like sales rose 10.1%, driven by both stronger rates and robust summer demand. 

"Our investment strategy is continuing to land well. The Castle of Brecon Hotel in Powys has built on its reopening with growth accelerating to +105% and exceeding its business case expectations. We got back on the acquisition trail too. In July, we acquired the Warwick Arms Hotel (pictured), which has just reopened following a £1.7m refurbishment.

"RedCat Independent Pubs performed ahead of the market, with drinks-led trading performing strongly and like-for-like sales up 6%, supported by favourable summer trading conditions. 

"Looking ahead, we remain acquisitive and committed to investing in our estate and people. We also add our voice to the wider sector in calling for a Budget that gives hospitality a fair break; lowering VAT, reform of employer NICs, and a fairer rates system. The sector needs longer term certainty in order to plan ahead and make investment decisions to grow and support new jobs and the economy."
