What's in our restaurants data list
The main restaurants list covers sit-down restaurants across the UK, from independent bistros to branches of restaurant chains. Restaurants that specialise in one cuisine are listed in their own categories (see below), so you can buy all restaurants, or just the cuisines your product suits.
| Data available | Records |
|---|---|
| Restaurants (postal addresses) | 6,656 |
| Telephone numbers | 6,656 |
| Named contacts (decision-makers) | 4,849 |
| Named contact email addresses | 1,819 |
| General company email addresses | 993 |
Each record can include:
- Business name
- Contact name
- Job title
- Postal address and postcode
- Telephone number
- Email address (where held)
- Website
- Business category
- Employee size band
Not every record has every field. Your free count shows exactly how many restaurants have a phone number, a named contact or an email address for the area you choose.

Who buys restaurants data, and why
Restaurants buy food, drink, equipment and services every week, and independent restaurants usually choose their own suppliers. That makes them a strong target for anyone selling to the hospitality trade.
| Who buys it | What they use it for |
|---|---|
| Food and drink wholesalers | Supply fresh produce, meat, fish, specialist ingredients, wine and spirits. |
| Catering equipment suppliers and engineers | Sell ovens, fridges and dishwashers, and service and repair kitchens. |
| EPOS, booking and ordering systems | Sell tills, table booking software, QR ordering and card machines. |
| Delivery and marketing platforms | Sign up restaurants for delivery apps, websites, social media and review management. |
| Energy, water and waste brokers | Kitchens use a lot of energy, and food waste rules mean restaurants need the right waste contract. |
| Insurance brokers | Offer restaurant insurance, including public liability and equipment breakdown. |
| Hygiene and pest control companies | Offer deep cleans, extraction cleaning and pest control to help with food hygiene ratings. |
| Hospitality recruitment agencies | Supply chefs, kitchen porters and front-of-house staff. |
Who you'll reach
Named contacts in the restaurants data list are the people who make the buying decisions, usually:
- Owner or proprietor
- Restaurant or general manager
- Head chef (for food and kitchen suppliers)
- Operations manager (restaurant groups)
- Purchasing manager (restaurant groups)
Using a restaurants data list legally
Restaurants are run by a mix of limited companies, partnerships and sole traders, and the rules differ:
- Sole traders and partnerships are treated as individuals. You need their consent before sending marketing emails or texts, and you must check their numbers against the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) before calling.
- Limited companies are "corporate subscribers". You can email them without prior consent if you say who you are and give an easy way to opt out. Check their numbers against the Corporate Telephone Preference Service (CTPS).
- Post can be sent to any restaurant, as long as you say who you are and honour requests to stop.
Restaurants are busiest at lunch and dinner, so mid-morning and mid-afternoon are the best times to call.
