Official figures show that the economy expanded by 0.2% due to the hospitality sector.
The UK economy grew marginally in April, helped by strong trade at bars and pubs according to official figures.
The economy grew by 0.2% in April after contracting 0.3% the month before, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
The UK is expected to avoid going into a recession but has been lagging behind growth in other major economies.
The ONS said that while some areas expanded, sectors such as housebuilders and estate agents had a poor month.
