Pubs go online

Mitchells & Butlers, the managed pub and restaurant owner, has signed a deal with O2 to offer its customers free Wi-Fi across its 1,600 sites.

The deal, which is set to last for three years, will allow restaurant and pub goers to access free Wi-Fi from their laptops and mobile phones, regardless of their provider.

Speaking about the deal, Robin Young, operations director at M&B, said:

“We already know that people love to eat and drink with us and whether guests visit to relax over breakfast, brunch or dinner, work away from the office, or have a beer with friends and colleagues, we know from talking to them that free and easy to use Wifi is something they want in the restaurant and pub environment.”

The agreement to offer Wi-Fi in pubs and restaurants marks the growing importance of online connectivity in pubs and restaurants.
