Hospitality brings communities together, but right now three hospitality business are closing every day.

That’s why we're backing the call to cut VAT for hospitality from 20% to 10% and help secure the future of the sector. Nearly 400,000 people have already signed.

Now it's your turn. 📲 Scan the QR code or visit vatstheproblem.co.uk to add your name.

After what’s been a particularly busy and challenging few months it was decided the team deserved a little time away together. 🇮🇹

So we swapped CHAI for Italy for a few days... good food, plenty of laughs and a very well earned break for our brilliant manager and supervisors.

A little thank you for everything they do behind the scenes to keep CHAI running day in, day out. ❤️

Back home, refreshed and ready for the months ahead!

We’re back open today after our little break, feeling refreshed and ready to go! Pop in for coffee, brunch or a slice of cake. Lovely to see you all again ☕️

We’ll be closed from Tuesday 29th September to Thursday 1st October to give our lovely team a well deserved break, and to give Chai a little TLC with some maintenance and a good deep clean.

We’ll be back Friday 2nd October, refreshed and ready for coffee, brunch and cakes ☕️
