May 13 (Reuters) - British pub group Marston's MARS.L swung to a half-year pre-tax profit on Tuesday, helped by its cost-efficiency actions and higher food and beverage sales thanks to favourable weather. The company said underlying pre-tax profit for the six months ended March 29 came to 19 million pounds ($25.08 million), compared with a loss of 0.2 million pounds it reported a year earlier.
