By offering free Wi-Fi across 1,600 pubs and restaurants, Mitchells & Butlers hopes to enhance the experience of the guests. Operations director, Robin Young feels positive and confident about this new initiative. To make the free Wi-Fi available to the guests visiting their restaurants and pubs in the UK they have struck a deal with broadband provider O2. The three year agreement will prove free wireless internet to business people, families, students and individuals who arrive at the restaurants.

Customers who stop at their pubs and restaurants during any time of the day and night will be offered with great food and drinks, along with free Wi-Fi. Mitchells & Butlers’ restaurants and pubs across the UK and all the brands will be installed with O2 Wi-Fi hotspots.

Those who visit Toby Carvery, Harvester, Vintage Inns, Browns, Nicholson’s, All Bar One and O’Neill’s with any type of smart phone, mobile or broadband provider can access to Wi-Fi for free. During the first phase of rollout, 199 Harvester restaurants will be connected with Wi-Fi. By October 2012, the rollout is expected to be complete. MD of O2 Wi-Fi, Gavin Franks describes the deal with the finest operator of restaurants and pub exciting as they offer the guests an opportunity to access Wi-Fi while they eat and drink.
