In April, delivery and takeaway sales at leading UK restaurant groups fell by 0.6% year-on-year, marking the second negative reading in 2025. The decline is attributed to favorable weather conditions and the Easter holiday, which encouraged consumers to dine out rather than order in. Additionally, a rise in home barbecues and outdoor activities contributed to subdued demand. Despite this drop, delivery revenue remained steady while takeaway sales decreased by 1.9%. The overall total combined sales increased by 10.0% since April 2024, indicating growth in the number of venues offering these services.
Delivery and takeaway sales at Britain's leading restaurant groups slipped by 0.6% year-on-year in April, reflecting a general softening in consumer spending.
Warm weather is usually better news for pubs than restaurants, and it's clear that drinking-out was the priority in April.
