Quarterly expenditure on canteens in the UK 2015-2021, based on volume

The annual expenditure on canteens of households in the United Kingdom amounted to approximately 3.83 billion British pounds in 2020, down 49.5 percent from the previous year. Spending was particularly lower during the second and third quarter of the year, reaching as low as 272 million British pounds between April and June 2020. That was 86 percent less than in the same period of 2019. The annual expenditure on canteens by UK households significantly declined in 2020 due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic which resulted in strict stay-at-home measures implemented across the country to control the spread of the virus. In 2021, annual expenditure reached 637 million.
