PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Uncertain future for full-service restaurants in the UK
As consumers adapt to this new economic environment, no significant changes are expected for full-service restaurants over the forecast period. Although outlets, transactions and value sales (at constant 2024 prices) are set to experience marginal growth, they are predicted to remain below pre-pandemic levels by 2029.
Delivery and takeaway set to record further sales growth via full-service restaurants
Since the pandemic, the consumer foodservice industry has recognised the growing importance of delivery and takeaway options as alternatives to eat-in. The restaurant scene in the UK has undergone significant changes, whereby delivery services have played an essential role in reshaping dynamics to facilitate distribution.
Competition from limited-service restaurants
In an uncertain economic environment, with high prices, consumers tend to reduce discretionary spending. Ongoing price increases have been taking place in the UK since 2022, and despite 2024 witnessing some stabilisation, overall prices through consumer foodservice remained high at the end of the review period.

Full-Service Restaurants
FSR (full-service restaurants) encompasses all sit-down establishments where the focus is on food rather than on drink. FSR is characterized by table service and a relatively higher quality of food compared to quick-service units. Menus offer multiple selections and may include breakfast, lunch and dinner. Preparation of food products is often complex and involves multiple steps. NOTE: restaurants types catalogued in this segment refer to table-service only (outlets with a proper “full table service:” wait staff attending customers and taking orders at the tables). Outlets with “limited table service” are excluded from FSR. For example: outlets where customers order their food at the counter are excluded (even though the waiter will then bring the food at the table).
