Nara Solicitors advises hospitality and food services businesses on UK immigration law. We have worked with hotels, restaurants, catering companies, event management firms, food manufacturing businesses, pub chains, coffee shop groups, fast food operators, contract catering providers, and leisure resorts.
Whether you run a single restaurant or a national chain, we understand the immigration challenges that hospitality businesses face in a sector that has historically relied on international workers. See what our clients say on our success stories page and on our Google reviews.
The hospitality sector faces particular challenges under the current immigration rules. The increase in minimum skill thresholds and salary requirements has reduced the number of roles that can be sponsored through the Skilled Worker route. However, specialist roles such as head chefs, restaurant managers, hotel managers, and certain skilled kitchen positions remain eligible, and the Immigration Salary List provides some flexibility for shortage occupations.
We help hospitality employers understand which roles can be sponsored, what salary thresholds apply, and how to maintain compliance in a sector where high staff turnover and shift-based working create additional reporting obligations.
We also advise hospitality businesses with multiple sites on how to manage sponsor licence compliance across locations, and support businesses that have faced compliance action from the Home Office.
If your hospitality or food services business needs immigration legal advice, we provide guidance that is specific to your industry and reflects the current rules.
