We are backing the VATS THE PROBLEM CAMPAIGN

For years our industry has been taxed to bankruptcy.

This campaign will immediately provide support not only to pubs but also to hospitality businesses across St Albans and the UK

Do you want to back your favourite venue, help your high street and support local jobs? Then sign our petition to lower the rate of VAT for hospitality to 10%.

Our pubs, restaurants, cafes, hotels, nightclubs and many more, are at the heart of our communities.

They bring people together and bring life to our cities, towns and villages, but they’re under huge pressure from rising costs.

In the UK, you pay one of the highest VAT rates in Europe. 20% extra in VAT for your meal out or stay away. In France, Spain and Italy, it’s 10%. In Germany? 7%.

Our message to Government is simple. Let’s stand together to say VAT at 10% is fair for hospitality.

Introducing It Always Happens at the Mermaid, Allen Nicklin's fabulous sequel to our very own Mermaid mysteries novella!

Featuring stories that take you to the fictional, murder-prone mirror of our very own pub, the much anticipated sequel to Tales from the Mermaid will bring readers back to your favourite boozer with the return of Nick Allen, the maths lecturer turned crime solver.

With new stories and new characters to meet, don't miss out and pick up your copy of It Always Happens at the Mermaid over the bar or online. But remember, the best place to read about the pub... is in one! (All sales go to the author!)
