For the three-month period ending 28 December 2025, the groups’ record revenue represented a 13% increase on the same trading period in the year prior.
The increase was supported by the opening of eight new Rudy’s Pizza Napoletana and a continued strong like-for-like performance at Albert’s Schloss Soho.
The five-week Christmas trading period (1 December 2025 to 4 January 2026) delivered group like-for-like sales up 6% versus the year before.
Rudy’s Pizza Napoletana delivered substantial growth, with revenues up 24% overall, driven by a combination of organic growth and strong performances from the new sites.
Overall, the 26 like-for-like Rudy’s pizzerias achieved revenue growth of 6%.
Albert’s Schloss also saw an increase in revenue, with its four venues generating a like-for-like growth of 8%, delivering £7.7m for the same five-week period.
“Q1 is always our most important trading period and sets the tone and expectation for the year ahead,” says chief executive Roy Ellis on the results.
“I’m delighted that both brands delivered further growth on strong results in the previous year and traded ahead of their competitive sets according to the CGA RSM Hospitality Business Tracker.
“Trading across the five weeks of Christmas accelerated.
“I was particularly pleased to see strong like-for-like growth in our oldest Albert’s Schloss, Manchester, and our newest Albert’s Schloss in Soho, London.
“Our teams not only delivered record revenues but also record levels of NPS and our internal Guest Experience (GXP) rating.
“We work hard to encourage great service, so these results are particularly pleasing.
“Both Albert’s Schloss and Rudy’s turned 10 years old in 2025, and it was great to see the mature venues contributing positively to like-for-like growth.
“Whilst the current trading environment remains extremely challenging, we are confident we are well positioned to navigate a successful future.
“We have two of the strongest hospitality brands in the UK and a highly engaged, professional team.
“We will continue to focus on building a world-class hospitality business in 2026 and beyond.”
Mission Mars also saw year-on-year revenue rise by 43% in the three-month trading period ending 29 December 2024.
Reaching £31.6m, the increase was similarly boosted by a continued expansion of Rudy’s Pizza and the opening of Albert’s Schloss’s first London site.
