This is so sad. The government must look at VAT immediately or these closures will accelerate at a frightening pace. https://t.co/7AJlkYoRW3

@EaterWriter we have look at doing this and also showing an energy surcharge which seems to be appearing on many of my suppliers invoices.

In 2024 if you’re a two Michelin star restaurant you’re “probably” fine. If you’re a cool pizza joint you’re probably fine. Everyone in the middle is fucked.
Happy new year

[Cook @GaryUsher_]

Some serious soul searching for restaurant/pub operators right now. There’s no money to be made anymore. The government has made hospitality a pretty unviable business opportunity in the UK.

To support your fave restaurant/cafe etc please take 2 mins to fill in your details on the form on this link from @UKHofficial to advice your local MP of your concern that returning VAT to 20% for hospitality will put many out of business https://t.co/PWHaa0036F #VATsEnough
