10 insights into the changes in British eating and drinking out from the NPD Group
When we buy something to eat or drink away from home – a restaurant meal, a quick snack, or even a grab-and-go supermarket sandwich – our choices show how much British life is changing.

And our much-loved independent ‘ethnic’ restaurants are in decline while high street ‘casual dining’ brands are booming. Here are 10 insights into the out-of-home (OOH) British foodservice market using figures released today by global information company The NPD Group.
