We’re proud to support the campaign.

Hospitality businesses, including ours, across the UK are facing rising costs, while paying a VAT rate that is among the highest in Europe.

A reduction in hospitality VAT from 20% to 10% would help make cafes like ours, and other hospitality businesses , invest, employ more people, keep prices more affordable and continue serving their communities.

Common Ground, in common with other independents, is about much more than food and drink. It’s about jobs, high streets, local suppliers and the places where people come together.

If you’d like to support the future of businesses like us, please take a minute to sign the petition.

Thank you
