The Old School Tea Room Cafe

A lot of you have already spotted our tea room making an appearance as Darrowby School in the latest series of *All Creatures Great and Small*!

It was fantastic to be part of it and fascinating to see all the amazing work that goes on behind the scenes to bring it all together. It also made us feel very lucky to be the custodians of such a gorgeous, historic building.

Perhaps the loveliest part has been hearing from local friends and customers who went to school here themselves, and who have told us that seeing it on screen like this took them right back. ❤️

The hospitality sector has come together to launch – a united campaign and petition calling for hospitality VAT to be reduced from 20% to 10%.

Spearheaded by chef and publican Tom Kerridge, we’re working alongside trade bodies across the sector, such as and , hospitality communities like , and you, businesses across hospitality, to say 10% VAT is fair for hospitality.

Our sector pays too much tax, and VAT is the single biggest lever the Government can pull to support venues, our customers, our high streets and our local communities.

This campaign is for everyone: businesses, customers, waiting staff, chefs, kitchen porters, bar staff, hotel teams, farmers, brewers, suppliers and producers.

Like, sign the petition and share this post – we need your support to reach a million signatures.
