In May 2024, UK-based restaurant, pub, and bar operator Mitchells & Butlers announced the procurement of Pesto Restaurants following its half-year financial report.  

Over the 28 weeks concluding 13 April 2024, the firm recorded a like-for-like sales surge of 7% and an operating profit of £164m ($178.7m) – a substantial 64% uplift from its preceding semi-annual performance. 

The acquisition of Pesto Restaurants was finalised by the company in May.  

The brand is known for its Italian tapas selection across its portfolio of ten venues.
