As many of you already know, Tracey is no longer doing haircuts 💇‍♀️ here at the pub, she has however just opened her own salon at Tinhay, Lifton.
She would love to see you all so please do give her a call on 07710 245176 and book yourself in.

This also means the pub will be opening 17.30 every Wednesday.

🍺 SPOT THE ODD ONE OUT 🍺
(Hint: it’s the one killing its own pubs)

🇫🇷 France — Hospitality VAT 10%
🇪🇸 Spain — Hospitality VAT 10%
🇮🇹 Italy — Hospitality VAT 10%
🇩🇪 Germany — Hospitality VAT 7%
🇧🇪 Belgium — Hospitality VAT 12%
🇮🇪 Ireland — Hospitality VAT 9%

🇬🇧 United Kingdom — Hospitality VAT 20%

Same industry.
Same food.
Same drink.
Same jobs.

But one country decided pubs were a luxury - not a cultural asset!

Then we act surprised when:
🍺 Pint prices rise
🍽️ Eating out costs more
🏚️ Pubs shut
✈️ It’s cheaper to enjoy life abroad

It’s not the pub being greedy. It’s yet more tax!

You can’t squeeze pubs dry…then act surprised when they close!

Share if you think UK pubs deserve fairer VAT - not a punishment rate!

And head to the comments section to do something about it! 💪👇👇👇
