UK-based City Pub Group has announced its plan to open a vegan pub in London’s Parsons Green.

The firm, which operates 33 pubs, is planning to expand this year, as it sees a 3.8% increase in like-for-like sales in fiscal year 2017.

Its total turnover for 2017 grew by £37.4m, an increase of around 34% from the previous year.

The vegan pub will open early this year in addition to new pubs in Clapham and Reading.

The City Pub Group executive chairman Clive Watson said: “Trading was robust over the festive period and throughout 2017.

“Our new openings are performing well and we are excited about our recent high-quality acquisitions.
