With Easter just around the corner (29th March – 1st April), OpenTable reveals a selection of Easter dining specials across the UK. Contrary to the traditional extended family celebrations, tables for two were the most popular party size last year during the Easter weekend, with the most popular time to dine between 1-1:59 pm and 6-7:59 pm.**
“From afternoon tea and bottomless brunches to the right roast dinner spot, there’s something for all UK diners to enjoy over the Easter weekend on OpenTable, no matter their party size or preferred dining time,” says Robin Chiang, SVP of Growth at OpenTable. “Last year, the majority of Brits secured their Easter weekend reservations a week or less in advance – if you have a special place in mind, don’t wait too long to secure your dream Easter meal.”*
