The first Cosmo restaurant opened in Eastbourne in 2003.[3] Between 2003 and June 2012, Cosmo extended their branches to Bristol, Chatham, Coventry, Croydon, Margate, Romford, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Wolverhampton, and Swansea. In 2011, it was named Britain's biggest restaurant, with a seating capacity of 800.[5] In July 2012, Cosmo opened restaurants in Reading, Aberdeen, Manchester and Belfast.

In 2015, Cosmo was officially voted third in the CGA Peach Brand Track Survey for "Customer Satisfaction" and 2nd for "Value for Money".[citation needed] In 2016, it opened restaurants in Oxford, Dublin and Southampton.[citation needed] The Manchester branch was known as Red Hot Buffet which was very popular with families eating out during weekends.
