Pubs have been particularly successful at boosting breakfast business. Visits to pubs at breakfast have grown by 128%, up from 44 million in 2008 to 100 million in 2014.

“Restaurateurs have realised the “value” of weird and wonderful spaces and are moving away from conventional restaurant venues to serve diners in yoga studios and clock towers.

Special attention is also paid to the interior design and atmosphere.
