Staycations Are Booming – Is Your Catering Business Ready for Summer?
Updated: 20 March, 2026

Happy English Tourism Week! More people are choosing to stay in the UK for their holidays – and it’s easy to see why.

The UK staycation market could deliver an £8bn boost to the economy this year (source: The Times). At the same time, the family leisure and indoor entertainment sector is set to grow rapidly over the next few years (source: Allied Market Research).

With travel plans uncertain and trips abroad being disrupted, demand for UK breaks is rising. This is excellent news for hospitality and catering businesses – from hotels and holiday parks to fish and chip shops, cafés, festival caterers, and days out operators. More visitors mean more opportunities, but also more pressure to serve quality food, stay on budget, and manage busy summer periods.
