📣 We're Proud to Support 📣
As many of you know, hospitality businesses continue to face rising costs from every direction. From energy bills and supplier increases to wages and business rates, the pressures on pubs, restaurants, cafés and hotels have never been greater.
That's why we're backing the campaign, which is calling for hospitality VAT to be reduced from 20% to 10%.
A reduced VAT rate would help businesses like ours continue investing in our teams, our venue and the service we provide, while also helping keep eating and drinking out affordable for our customers.
Hospitality is at the heart of local communities, providing jobs, supporting local suppliers and creating places where people come together. This campaign is about protecting the future of our industry and the people who make it what it is.

❤️ Support local hospitality. Support local jobs. Support local communities.
The hospitality sector has come together to launch – a united campaign and petition calling for hospitality VAT to be reduced from 20% to 10%.
Spearheaded by chef and publican Tom Kerridge, we’re working alongside trade bodies across the sector, such as and , hospitality communities like , and you, businesses across hospitality, to say 10% VAT is fair for hospitality.
Our sector pays too much tax, and VAT is the single biggest lever the Government can pull to support venues, our customers, our high streets and our local communities.
This campaign is for everyone: businesses, customers, waiting staff, chefs, kitchen porters, bar staff, hotel teams, farmers, brewers, suppliers and producers.
