I'm absolutely clear. This Gov't is just about big business, corporations and the fat cats. They have just sent a strong message to the Hospitality industry: They don't care. They have just thrown small family run businesses to the wolves.

I cannot comprehend what this government are doing. They don’t care about working people or small family run businesses. They don’t care about hospitality and they certainly don’t care about farming. They just care about making fat cats fatter.

limbo land…. What are you lot doing with ordering beer, fish, meat, veg? How’s your staff rota looking? Who’s answering the phone and giving your guests the solution to their questions about their booking? Can they move it? And when can they rebook? Absolute shambles…

Tomorrow, operators need to order stock and create staff rotas for Xmas. Many are sat in limbo, not knowing what to do. They are fearful for their future, staff don't know if they will still have jobs. This is no way to run a country.

Here we are… This is the list of cancellations taken in one of our restaurants in the past six days… 654 guests I understand why. Public health is THE most important thing. But what will the government do to support the industry? Many places will crumble without help…

"People will take anything!" From soap dispensers to a bench - these are just some of the items stolen from Michelle Utz's pub, The Hoop in Stock. Michelle's told @sonwatson she's even had to resort to bolting the soap to the wall. @TheHoopStock 🔊⬇️ bbc.in/3aTJxbz

Caught up with @TheHoopStock ahead of reopening today. 'I don't think any pub is a pub now' landlady Michelle Utz told me. I agree, but let's make sure we support them safely over the next few weeks! telegraph.co.uk/food-and-dri…

Have you seen this man? Reported missing early December and not been seen or had a substantial meal in weeks! Hospitality is slowly dying and on its knees so we must find him urgently! #WheresRishi #FindRishi #SOShospitality #pubsmatter #saveourpubs #seatatthetable #nopubnorent

On a Sunday in Essex, there is only one thing that is on most people's minds – where can I get the best Sunday roast? There's nothing like @TheHoopStock , @MasonsBrentwood and @Pig_AndWhistle just to name a few. Click here for more! bit.ly/2VEcWxl
