  • 2016 Food Service
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Required Report - public distribution Date: 12/13/2016 GAIN Report Number: United Kingdom Food Service - Hotel Restaurant Institutional 2016 Approved By: Stan Phillips – Agricultural Counselor Prepared By: Julie Vasquez-Nicholson Report Highlights: This report provides an overview of the UK foodservice industry and its various sub-sectors. It describes how the various sectors work and provides contact information for all the main groups within the industry. Healthy food options are the hottest trend in the HRI sector which remains receptive to new American products. Post: London Author Defined: SECTION I – MARKET SUMMARY The hotel, restaurant and institutional (HRI) market is the UK’s fourth largest consumer market following food retail, motoring, and clothing and footwear. The HRI market provides prepared meals and refreshments for consumption, primarily outside the home. State of the market: In 2015 the UK foodservice sector (food and beverage sales to consumers) was estimated to be worth £47.9 billion ($62.2 billion). This was an increase of 2.8 percent on 2014. The food service sector is clearly an enormous market and is one that can provide many opportunities for prepared U.S. exporters. Although eating out is a way of life for many UK consumers, the number of times people eat out and the type of place where they eat are dictated by how much they want to spend. In the past year we have seen consumers wanting to eat out more and spend more.

  • 1. *We Very Much Enjoyed Reading the Paper and Appreciate
    1 Detailed comments from the meeting: 1. *We very much enjoyed reading the paper and appreciate that while this the research question is not novel, the UK perspective is unusual given that much of this research has been undertaken in the US. We would like to thank the committee for their positive comments on our manuscript. 2. *We found the definition of a main meal difficult to appreciate and think this could do with better description and also a few examples to help readers appreciate this. We have now expanded on our definition of a main meal and provided examples, see page 7. We defined a main meal as being a menu option that would normally be the primary dish in a lunch or dinner meal and typically be found in the ‘main course’ part of a typical restaurant menu. Examples of main meal items using this definition would include burger and chips, chicken Caesar salad, spaghetti Bolognese, jacket potato with filling. Throughout the section of the main meal eligibility section of the method we have provided examples to make it clear what was and was not eligible. See page 7-8. 3. *The statistical analysis seems overcomplicated and inconsistent in places. Multilevel model is appropriate, but the goodness of fit test shows only that restaurants differ in mean energy which is unsurprising. Why use bootstrap for standard errors when the linear model provides them? Please comment We bootstrapped the data to improve accuracy and reduce bias of parameter estimations. In MLWiN bootstrapping the standard errors ensures they are properly scaled along with coefficients.
