Key Restaurant Marketing Dates & Food Holidays for 2025–2026 (UK Edition)

If you're running a restaurant, you already know the pressure of staying relevant while keeping your diary full. One moment it's Mother's Day rush, and the next you're scrambling to figure out what to post for a quiet Tuesday.

Hi, I’m Lolly from Lolly Creative Studio, and after working behind the scenes with restaurant teams for years, I saw a pattern: Most businesses don’t need more content ideas—they need the right ones.

That’s exactly why I created the Restaurant Marketing Agenda 2025/2026 — a digital planning tool made specifically for UK-based hospitality teams who want to market smarter, not louder.

Forget Random Hashtag Days

Let’s be honest: not every "National Biscuit Day" or "Hug Your Pet Day" is going to move the needle.

Sure, they fill space on a content calendar, but do they bring people into your restaurant? Not really.

Your marketing shouldn’t feel like a social media to-do list. It should feel like a natural extension of your brand.


What Smart Restaurants Focus On

This agenda includes the real game-changing moments — dates and seasonal shifts that matter in this industry:

  • Major UK holidays (like Mother’s Day, Easter, and Bank Holidays)

  • Key industry moments (like Dry January, Veganuary, and summer staycation season)

  • Cultural events (from Wimbledon to Bonfire Night)

  • Marketing opportunities that help boost bookings on those quieter Mondays to Thursdays

It’s not about having offers all the time — that can cheapen your brand. This is about intentional marketing that keeps your space desirable, not discounted.
