Loch Fyne Restaurants was the name of a chain of seafood restaurants in the United Kingdom owned and operated by Greene King plc.
History
[edit | edit source]The company took its name from Loch Fyne, a sea loch on the west coast of Scotland. The business started life as part of Loch Fyne Oysters but, in September 2006, the restaurant chain (then comprising 36 restaurants[1]) was bought by Greene King for £68 million.[2][3]
Loch Fyne Oysters continues in business under separate ownership; it owns the "Loch Fyne" brand and supplied much of the seafood used by the restaurant chain.[2]
In 2008 Loch Fyne Restaurants was reported by the BBC to be paying their waiting staff a base salary below the minimum wage made up to legal levels by tips.[4]
At its largest, the chain had over 40 restaurants. Some had already closed by 2020, and due to the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, Loch Fyne permanently closed 11 more restaurants,[5] with further closures following and the last restaurants closing in November 2023.[1]
