A huge win for our pubs 🥅🍻

We're proud to support the #VATsTheProblem campaign, uniting hospitality businesses, teams and sector trade bodies to call for one thing: For the Government to cut hospitality VAT to 10% - in line with our European neighbours. Spearheaded by @ChefTomKerridge ,we're proud to be working with @BIIandBIIAB @UKHofficial and @CODEHospitality on the campaign, which will officially launch to consumers on 1 July. Ahead of this, Tom is urging the entire sector to spread the word and get as many people signing the petition as possible, which is currently standing at 20,000 signatures.

Thank you to @RussellFindlay1 MSP for standing up for our sector in the Scottish Parliament this week. Pubs in Scotland remain at a disadvantage following the Scottish Government's Budget, leaving many on a knife's edge with one venue set to close each week. We’re calling on the Scottish Government to pass on 100% of the Barnett consequentials directly to pubs and go further to protect jobs and safeguard these vital community assets.

Our response to today's announcement 📣 We are pleased the government has listened to our concerns, and those of publicans, consumers and MPs who rallied to defend our locals. This pub specific package will stave off the immediate financial threat posed by accelerating business costs and will help keep the doors open for many. This additional support will provide certainty for tens of thousands of pubs, with many seeing their bills frozen or falling and there will be a sigh of relief from landlords across the country. We will now work closely with government to establish a transformative long-term plan that works for all pubs through permanent business rates reform to ensure they remain at the heart of communities.
