Savills have released a report “Casual Dining in the UK” which states that London’s West End has seen the greatest growth in casual dining brands over the past three years, with Manchester, Glasgow and Aberdeen top gainers as well.
The report ranks the top 50 towns based on the growth in brands since the end of 2012 and also the total supply of casual dining restaurants.
Tom Whittington, research director at Savills, comments: “It’s not a surprise to have London at the top of the rankings but the reality of today’s eating out market is that beyond the M25, there are more expansion opportunities for leading branded operators. This is shown by the presence of cities such as Leicester, York and Milton Keynes.”
