🍻 WE’RE BACKING 🍻
The hospitality industry is under more pressure than ever. Rising costs, higher bills and increasing taxes are making it harder for pubs like ours to keep doing what we love – serving our local community.
That’s why we’re supporting the call to reduce hospitality VAT from 20% to 10%.
A lower VAT rate would help pubs, restaurants, cafés and hotels invest more in their businesses, protect jobs, keep prices fair for customers and help our high streets thrive.
If you’ve ever enjoyed a pint, watched the football with friends, celebrated a special occasion or simply popped in for a chat, we’d really appreciate your support.

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.
