What are the most loved eating out brands in the UK?

You might want to put your Big Mac down for this news... McDonald’s is the most loved eating out brand in the UK, according to data from research agency Savanta.

The insight is drawn from the opinions of 100,000 diners. The full list of the top 100 most loved brands in the UK features a mix of restaurants, pubs, cafes, and fast food spots.

For the fact fans out there, Brits eat out around three times a month, and visit 35 eating out brands a year. People under 30 eat out the most, and perhaps unsurprisingly, people living in London go out the most (3.9 times a month).

The top 20 most loved list looks pretty varied, featuring coffee shops to pizza, and burger chains to The Ivy. There are some pretty big surprises on there as well.
