MORE ON THE MENU: Frankie & Benny's has traded well this year.
With most of its restaurants in out-of-town retail parks and many near cinemas, the group is insulated from the troubles of the high street while it has also benefited from the enduring popularity of movies.
Like-for-like sales increased by 3.25 per cent in the first half of the year – a trend it has maintained in recent weeks – while pre-tax profits increased by 7 per cent to £26.1 million in the six month period.
