The King Arthur proudly supports the 'VAT's The Problem’ campaign spearheaded by Tom Kerridge and hospitality leaders across the UK.

For years, pubs, bars, restaurants and hospitality venues have warned that the current VAT burden is unsustainable. While costs continue to rise across the board, wages, energy, business rates, insurance and suppliers, hospitality businesses are still expected to hand over 20% VAT on food and drink sales in one of the toughest trading environments the industry has ever faced.
In the first 3 months of 2026 FACT 161 pubs closed in the UK this has to Stop.

A reduction in hospitality VAT to 10% would not be a handout. It would be a lifeline.

It would allow struggling pubs and hospitality venues to:
• Keep prices fairer for customers
• Protect jobs
• Invest back into their businesses
• Improve wages and working conditions
• Reduce closures in communities across the country

The UK currently has one of the highest hospitality VAT rates in Europe, placing independent venues at a huge disadvantage compared with many neighbouring countries that already recognise hospitality as a vital economic and social sector worth protecting.

Pubs are more than businesses. They are community hubs, social spaces, employers, fundraisers and part of Britain’s cultural identity. Every pub closure represents lost jobs, lost investment and the loss of another community meeting place.

Supporting this campaign is about supporting the future of British hospitality.

Please support us 🙏 please support local Pubs , cafés and Hospitality in the UK.

We’re asking our licensees, teams and customers to support the campaign by signing the petition

Some voices stop conversations. Some songs stop time.

Straight out of the North, Gaz Austin arrives in Glastonbury with a voice that can silence a room and songs that stay with you long after the last note fades. Honest, powerful and beautifully crafted, his songwriting has been known to leave audiences wondering why he’s not already filling arenas.

If Noel Gallagher had spent more time staring at the stars and less time looking in the mirror, he might have written songs like these.

Expect soaring vocals, unforgettable melodies, stories from the heart and a night of music that reminds you why live music matters.

Whether you’re hearing Gaz for the first time or you’re already a believer, this is one of those gigs you’ll be talking about afterwards.
