Christmas bookings across the UK’s restaurants and pubs are seeing a significant rise, with early reservations up by 54% compared to the same period in 2023.
Notably, over half of these bookings (52%) are specifically for Christmas Day itself, a substantial increase from 44% at this time last year.
This surge in festive dining is a positive sign for the hospitality industry, which is gradually returning to pre-COVID levels of activity and capacity.
Despite the good news, the sector continues to grapple with ongoing challenges, particularly fluctuating food prices and rising inflation.
Month-on-month inflation continues to impact the industry, making it increasingly important for businesses to plan ahead and ensure they are fully prepared for the busy festive season.
With families now preferring to celebrate the holidays by dining out, venues must be equipped to meet the growing demand.
