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]
