Oya, the UK’s first dedicated marketplace for the food industry, is proud to be exhibiting at this year’s National Pub & Bar Show. With pubs and bars continuing to face pressure from rising costs, staff shortages, and changing customer habits, Oya is offering landlords and operators a fresh way to future-proof their businesses.

Rather than leaving valuable kitchen spaces unused, Oya connects pub landlords directly with fast-growing food brands – from street food vendors to delivery-first concepts – who are looking for fully equipped kitchens to expand their reach. This creates a win-win: landlords unlock a new, reliable revenue stream, while food operators gain access to prime, ready-to-go kitchen spaces in some of the UK’s most in-demand locations. With quality food severed on site, pubs see an uplift in wet sales due to longer dwell times and increased footfall.

“Many pubs are struggling to keep their doors open due to rising costs. Oya enables pubs to generate additional revenue by renting their kitchen space, while giving them the opportunity to serve great food and attract new customers – without the usual hassle or overheads of running food service in-house,” says Ashley Lockwood, Co-founder and COO at Oya. “By partnering with exciting food brands, pubs can stay at the heart of their communities, offering great food without the operational burden.”
Since its launch, Oya has grown rapidly, with hundreds of pubs already listing their kitchens and major food operators tapping into the platform. From traditional boozers to modern gastropubs across London and the UK, Oya is proving that the key to saving the pub industry lies in collaboration and innovation.

Visitors to the National Pub & Bar Show can meet the Oya team, see how the platform works, register for free, and discover how they can transform an underused kitchen into a thriving asset.
