(Reuters) – Pub operator Marston’s said on Wednesday that sales were above pre-pandemic levels in the fourth quarter, as people filled up its bars after lockdowns were eased to watch football tournaments and enjoy the warm weather.

The nearly 200-year old brewer said total pub sales were 402 million pounds ($547.08 million) for the year.
