What this means if you’re starting one
the Enfield area (EN postcodes) has fewer of these businesses than most places
Pub or bar companies are 0.25% of companies registered in the Enfield area (EN postcodes), against 0.62% UK-wide (0.4× the national share).
That could be a gap or a sign of weak demand. The register cannot tell which.
More of these companies are closing than in most trades
15% of pub or bar companies in the Enfield area (EN postcodes) are currently being struck off, against 7.3% of all companies there. Nationally that rate is higher than 96% of UK industries.
Closures run high here. It is a churn signal, not a survival rate, but it means the common failure points are worth learning before you start.
Most of your competition will be other newcomers
31% of the 110 pub or bar companies in the Enfield area (EN postcodes) were formed in 2025–26, against 20% of all companies in the Enfield area (EN postcodes).
New rivals are arriving faster than in most trades, so your customers already have fresh options. Being new is not a difference on its own.

Companies are counted where their registered office is, which may be an accountant or a home address rather than a shop. Sole traders and partnerships are not on the register, and electronically filed accounts cover roughly 60–75% of accounts filed each year. The figures describe companies that exist; they cannot prove demand for your idea or predict whether it will work. How the figures are built.
