Bars, Cafes & Restaurants

We work with a range of operators running restaurants, cafes and bars cross the UK, supporting them with their legal needs in the context of the industries’ unique commercial pressures.  

We understand that running a successful café, bar, or restaurant can involve a range of legal challenges and regulatory issues. We provide a full service to our clients, tailored to their circumstances and designed to help them to achieve their objectives and commercial strategy.

We have advised on a range of legal matters including corporate acquisitions, franchising, securing planning, lease negotiations, licensing, employment law issues and supplier commercial arrangements. Our goal is to provide our clients with the legal advice and support they need to succeed in the competitive hospitality industry.

Our experience working with cafes and restaurants includes:

• Acting for Subway for over 13 years, achieving many firsts during that time, being the first solicitor to agree leases in a UK airport, a Tesco store an Asda store, a McColl’s and a petrol station forecourt as well as acting on the flagship Subway store on Oxford street. The team has completed leases on over 600 Subway stores.
