VAT’s The Problem!
We don’t usually get involved in campaigns, but this one really matters!
Hospitality is under serious pressure right now.
Across the UK, pubs, cafés and restaurants are closing at an alarming rate. These are the places that sit at the heart of our communities — creating jobs, supporting local suppliers, and giving people somewhere to come together. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
Hospitality is one of the UK’s most valuable industries, but it’s one of the most heavily taxed in Europe. That’s why we’re supporting Tom Kerridge’s campaign, calling for a fairer VAT rate for hospitality.
It could make a real difference in helping protect the pubs and venues that bring our communities to life.
If you’ve ever had a pint with mates at The Vic, celebrated a special occasion here, or simply value having independent pubs on your doorstep, we’d be hugely grateful if you could take a moment to sign the petition. It takes less then a minute ⬇️
