This research highlights…

  • Influences on venue choice
  • Influences on menu choice
  • The role of health
  • How brands can attract & engage with families
  • How to increase dwell time and spend

Based on a nationally representative sample of 950 UK adults with children in the household, this research highlights the needs, wants, stress points and opportunities for this valuable dining and leisure occasion, and how these have changed over the last two years in order to help operators and brands attract, engage and build loyalty via this invaluable customer occasion.
