Join the campaign

Hospitality is one of the UK’s greatest success
stories. It employs millions of people, gives
young people their first jobs, keeps high streets
alive and brings communities together.

But we as a sector are under enormous pressure.

On 1 July, the hospitality industry is coming
together to launch ‘VAT’s the Problem’ — the
united sector campaign calling for hospitality
VAT to be reduced from 20% to 10%.

Yes, we are 100% behind our industry leaders with this campaign.

If you'd like to support the campaign too, we'd be incredibly grateful if you could sign the petition and share it with your friends and family. Every signature helps show how much local hospitality maters.

Many Thanks

Simon, Louise & the Red Lion Team x
