The cost of eating out has risen drastically in recent years, against the backdrop of the cost of living crisis, with restaurants having to pay more for their electricity, rent and food. This resulted in prices in restaurants rising by 8.2% in the year to January 2024, with the overall price of food rising around 25% between January 2022 and January 2024, according to the Office for National Statistics. Compare that two-year period to the 10-year period prior, which saw food prices rise by only 9%, and the extent of the recent steep rise is clear.
