The Big Johns Brand
Big John’s over the last 30 years has become a multi-award winning brand in UK’s fast food industry. Creating a name for itself in the late 90s as the home of the 99p deals. Big John’s has now grown to over 17 locations spread throughout the Midlands and has become the neighbourhood takeaway of choice. In 2002 Big John’s redefined the fast food industry by opening UK’s first ever drive thru fish & chip shop.
Unlike other fast food chains, Big John’s is the home of variety, with a unique offering to customers, allowing choice from Burgers, Wraps, Pizza’s, Kebab’s, Southern Fried Chicken, Peri Peri Chicken, Fish & Chips, and many more products.
Everything is prepared fresh using the highest quality of halal ingredients and cooked to perfection, creating a distinctive and indulgent taste experience for an affordable price. The very simple mantra in all Big John’s is ‘Cook Less, Cook Often’ thus guaranteeing fresh food at all times.

THE FUTURE OF BIG JOHNS
The dining trends since the 90s have evolved from the once a week fish and chips to everyday eating out with a variety of different cuisines available. QSR (quick service restaurant) chains have now become an everyday visit from a cup of coffee to late night curry takeaways. At Big Johns by having such a vast menu choice we can accommodate every taste, from traditional fish and chips, freshly baked pizzas or healthier options of peri peri grilled chicken, Big Johns has it all.
So what does the future hold for Big John’s? The answer is franchising.
Big Johns has always had a greater vision, that is to elevate its ranks from a regional brand to a national brand. The goal of becoming national will be achieved from franchising. The offering of franchising will allow young aspiring entrepreneurs or seasoned business professionals to become part of the Big John’s Group, and take on a highly successful brand working very closely with experts in the Fast Food industry.
