Day 123 ……. Decision Day!!

We are deeply saddened to announce the closure of The Malthouse.

Like many independent pubs and hospitality businesses, the ongoing rise in Government costs, Utilities, Suppliers, Licenses, and operating expenses has placed enormous pressure on us, making it impossible for us to continue to operate sustainably.

Running an independent business, in today’s current climate, has been somewhat of a little challenge, but we’re proud of our efforts and would like to sincerely thank every person who has supported us.
Each Customer, Friend, Staff member, Musician, Biker, Supplier, those who attended our events, those who became The Malthouse Darts team, those who became The Malthouse Family, everyone who enjoyed our food, popped in for a drink, brought family and friends, recommended us to others - thank you for all your support over the last couple of years. We couldn’t have done this without each and every one of you.
We are incredibly grateful to those of you who walked through our doors, who chose to celebrate your Birthdays here, say farewell to your loved ones here, to hold your business meetings here, meet up with Family & Friends, filling our Pub and Garden with chit chat and laughter and continuing to support us.

Your loyalty means so much to us and the love, laughter and many, many, marvellous Malthouse memories made with so many of you, will remain in our hearts 💝

Running the Malthouse has been a huge part of our lives and this decision has not been made lightly.
The impact of such a decision is absolutely awful - this morning my team have woken up without their jobs, our suppliers have one Customer less, people who come in for a safe place to chat, our musicians who have to find another gig ….. the ripple effect!!

Thank you to everyone who stood by us throughout the journey and who chose to support your local 💕

Those of you who have bookings with us, we will be in touch over the next couple of days.

Mandy & Steve

🍺 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!
