Know every venue before it opens.

A new restaurant, café, bar or takeaway leaves a public trail months before it opens: the premises is registered with the council as a food business, and an operating company is formed at Companies House. VenuePipe cross-matches the two and gives you the venues that pass — with the company number attached, so you can check every one yourself.

Two things we would rather tell you than have you find out.

This is not a list of confirmed openings. It is a list of premises registered with the council and awaiting a first inspection, whose operator formed a company recently. Most will open. Some will not.

And we separate delivery-only kitchen pods from independent sites, because they buy completely different things. A virtual brand in a rented kitchen will never buy a shopfront or a dining room. You get told which is which rather than having them quietly padding the total.
