📢 We Need Your Support: Help Us Save Great British Hospitality 🐟🍟

Running an independent fish and chip shop right now is tougher than ever. Between skyrocketing fish prices and the heavy cost pressures brought on by recent government changes, the entire hospitality sector is feeling the squeeze.

That is why we are standing alongside Tom Kerridge, UKHospitality, and major trade bodies to back the national campaign fighting against the unfair tax burden on our industry.

We aren't asking for a handout. We just want a fair environment to work, survive, and thrive in.

💡 Why This Matters to Our Community:

👉Breathing Space to Survive: A break on hospitality tax gives independent businesses the room to keep doors open, protect local jobs, and keep serving the communities we love.

👉Fairness for Independent Business: It makes no sense to tax cooked community meals at a rate that pushes local venues to the brink.

👉Supporting the Treasury: If independent businesses are forced to close, the government gets zero tax revenue. By creating an environment where we can thrive, we continue to generate revenue that supports the whole country.

We want to keep doing what we do best for years to come, but we need the government to give our industry a fighting chance.

✍️ How You Can Help:

Please take one minute out of your day to sign the petition and show your support for your local chippy and the wider hospitality family.

He may not have won the employee of the year award at the National Federation of Fish Friers - NFFF awards but he is our CHAMPION! Zak Bishop got in a car crash, arm in a sling for 3 weeks and he says "I am not missing the May bank holiday weekend"! With one arm Zak ran the restaurant, took orders, cleared tables and lead the team through a gloriously sunny Devon weekend! L.E.G.E.N.D!
