Hospitality is one of the UK's largest employers, supporting millions of jobs and helping keep our cities, towns and villages vibrant. Across our venues in Bridgend, Cowbridge and Ogmore-by-Sea, we're proud to invest in people, buildings and communities. The Coach, Nolton Corner 1 Town Hall Square, The Cross Inn, The Tusker Rock.

Yet hospitality continues to face unprecedented cost pressures while operating under one of the highest VAT rates in Europe… at our 20% rate; £1 from every £6 spent in your local pub, café, restaurant or hotel goes straight to HMRC in VAT alone. By comparison, many European countries support their hospitality sectors with lower rates, including France, Spain and Italy at 10%, and Germany at 7%.
That's why we're supporting Tom Kerridge, UKHospitality and the industry's call for a reduction in hospitality VAT from 20% to 10%.

Thank you to everyone for your lovely reviews, we’ve been custodians of this little boozer here in Bridgend since 2010 - and we’re so grateful for your support in what are very challenging times for UK hospitality.
