PAST
The British QSR & Franchise Awards celebrate excellence in the Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) sector across the UK. These prestigious awards recognise outstanding franchise brands, franchisees, and suppliers who have demonstrated innovation, growth, and impact in the industry.
The first ever British QSR Franchise Awards took place at the Belfry, Birmingham on the 20th of January, 2025.
It was a night of celebration and inspiration. This ground breaking event shone a spotlight on British-grown QSR brands that have made their mark across the country, showcasing the incredible entrepreneurial spirit that defines the UK’s homegrown franchise industry. It was an evening dedicated not only to the global giants, but more so to the rising stars—innovative young entrepreneurs who turned their visions into thriving brands, proving that success by expanding these brands themselves as well as franchising. The atmosphere was electric as we celebrated their achievements and the vibrant future of British QSRs.
The 2026 edition of The British QSR & Franchise Awards is gearing up to be even bigger and better! Stay tuned as we celebrate the excellence, innovation, and growth within the UK’s quick service restaurant sector.
Nominations will open soon in July 2025.
The European QSR & Franchise Awards will be held in Brussels on September 8, 2025.
This marks the first-ever event of this scale dedicated to QSR franchise excellence in Europe.
Finalists are now announced. With public voting now open, nominees have the chance to rally support from their loyal customers and communities, who can help decide this year’s winners by casting their votes.
