Marston's cost pressure
Pubs group Marston's has warned food, energy and brewing materials costs are set to rise £12m in the coming year.
The Pitcher & Piano owner highlighted the pressure as it reported a 2% rise in turnover for the full financial year to October 4. Shares fell 5p to 112p.
Its managed pubs division saw a like- for-like sales drop of 0.6%, but said it would need growth of 3% to achieve a similar level of operating profit.
