Please get involved....
Please Sign the petition, and together we can improve the future for the Hospitality Industry and our beloved Pubs.
Many of the pubs, restaurants, cafés, food producers and drink producers we recommend are backing the new campaign.
We're 100% behind them. 🤝
Independent hospitality businesses are at the heart of our communities, but many are under huge pressure from rising costs. At the same time, the UK charges 20% VAT on hospitality, compared with 10% in countries including France, Spain and Italy.
The campaign's message is simple: 10% VAT is fair for hospitality.
If you'd like to support the independent businesses that make our region such a great place to eat and drink, please consider signing the petition.
