The future of cafés/bars is uncertain in the UK. Chained operators are set to experience mid-to-low single-digit growth over the forecast period in terms of overall sales and transaction numbers, with outlet numbers expected to stagnate.
Over the forecast period, the number of outlet numbers for both chained and independent bars/pubs is set to continue declining, whilst transaction numbers and value sales (at constant 2023 prices) will experience low growth, but will remain below pre-pandemic levels by 2028. Given this outlook, it is relevant to examine how pubs and bars will evolve in the coming years.
There is a reasonably positive outlook for specialist coffee shops in the UK over the forecast period, despite ongoing challenges surrounding the operating environment. Nevertheless, the channel is expected to recover across all indicators – this trend compares favourably to bars/pubs as well as full-service restaurants.

Cafés/Bars
This category encompasses all establishments where the focus is on drinking (either alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages). While a wide variety of snacks and full meals are offered, it is not uncommon for consumers to only order a drink. As a general rule, establishments deriving 50% of their income or more from the sale of drinks are included here.
