Drake & Morgan has also secured three openings for 2017.

James Sherrington, finance director at Drake & Morgan, said: "The group delivered a solid set of numbers in 2015/16, with turnover and EBITDA in strong growth. Like-for-like sales growth has accelerated in the current financial year and we have built a strong openings pipeline.

"In addition, the acquisition of the C&B Bars business has strengthened our presence in the City and gives us a platform for significant growth through 2017 and beyond."

The group is backed by Bowmark Capital.
