History
The company takes its name from Loch Fyne, a sea loch on the west coast of Scotland. The business started life as part of Loch Fyne Oysters but, in September 2006, the restaurant chain was bought by Greene King for £68 million.[1][2]
Loch Fyne Oysters continues in business under separate ownership; it owns the "Loch Fyne" brand and supplies much of the seafood used by the restaurant chain.[1]
In 2008 Loch Fyne Restaurants was reported by the BBC to be paying their waiting staff a base salary below the minimum wage made up to legal levels by tips.[3]
gollark: Clean water *from taps*? As opposed to by going to a shop or something.
gollark: Technically I just "need" 1500 calories in some ratio of nutrients, but I like to have somewhat more than this and also food I like, so "universal basic food" would be bad.
gollark: Internet connectivity? Transport?
gollark: You've said so, yes. Or implied so. Said now.
gollark: You're just defining things as public services though.
