Harrogate Pubwatch

A collaboration between licensed venues working for a safe, crime-free night-time economy in Harrogate. If you’re banned from one venue, you’re banned from all.

In Parliament @tomgordonLD said that the holiday tax is “the wrong policy at the wrong time”.

The UK’s hospitality and tourism sector is one of the most taxed sectors and the holiday tax would put us at a further competitive disadvantage.

🍺Think the 15% discount helps pubs this April?
Think again.
And yes, the VOA valuation model is now officially in crisis. #ukpubs #ukhospitality

[Campaign for Pubs @CampaignforPubs]

We represent #pubs & #inns. Whilst we are pleased that they will no longer face the existential business rates bombshell in April, we are deeply disappointed at the complete lack of support for our colleagues who own & work in hotels, restaurants & cafés.

In every local economy in the UK, we work together & rely on each other for trade & to supply customers to each other!

Collectively, we welcome millions of tourists every year to the UK as well as even more UK citizens having a night or a weekend away or a UK holiday (the best place for a holiday in our opinion, partly because of our world famous pubs!).

#Hospitality is one of the biggest contributors to the UK economy & tax.

The whole sector needs support!

Be extra kind to hospitality staff this Christmas 🎄 They’re working while we’re celebrating—often missing time with their own families. A smile, patience, a thank you, or a small tip can make a huge difference. Kindness goes a long way ✨

Recruitment remains a major challenge for hospitality, with ongoing skills shortages making it hard to find and keep the talent needed for consistent service.

[The BII @BIIandBIIAB]

Our CEO, Steven Alton CBII spoke with BBC News earlier today, discussing the rising costs that have hit our hospitality sector. In order for our sector to grow we need better support for pub resilience across the nation. #OurPub

We've had reports of food, including sweets, being spiked.

Each month we're speaking with our ambassador Jessie and her partner Will about various forms of #spiking 🗣️

Meanwhile in Harrogate, @northyorksc have massively increased their pointless pavement permit charges. The level of disconnection of this council with businesses is actually frightening

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

This summer: more opportunity to eat and drink al fresco 🍹🍝

Shoreditch is the latest area where Summer Streets funding from City Hall is letting more hospitality venues serve outside, with similar schemes also coming to Brixton, Leyton and the West End.

[The Morning Advertiser @morningad]

Average sales in managed venues in the week to Saturday 14 June were 5% behind the same week in 2024.

@HgateAdvertiser Despite this being a Harrogate Advertiser post, it’s not specifically about Harrogate’s night time economy so is somewhat misleading

[Harrogate Pubwatch @hgpubwatch]

Great to see our MP supporting Harrogate’s independent venues!

[Tom Gordon MP @tomgordonLD]

🍽️ Had a cracking Sunday roast at The Empress — plenty of meat and Yorkshire puddings done right!

[Tom Gordon MP @tomgordonLD]

🍻 Great to pop down to Harrogate Brewing Co (formerly The Old Bell) for a pint and some brilliant live music! 🎶

Always happy to support local spots doing great things.

[Harrogate Homeless Project - HHP @HgateHomeless]

As #NationalShareAStoryMonth comes to a close, we’d like to end our series of posts with Fred’s Story.
Fred had been homeless many times over the years due to his alcoholism. HHP were able to help him via our SAFE (Service to Assist Adults Facing Exclusion) project.

"Resilience is weak and margins have been squeezed until they are wafer thin. Another unnecessary tax will push many over the edge".

[Harrogate Pubwatch @hgpubwatch]

After a quiet spell there have been several incidents over the last week which will see several people banned from every Pubwatch venue in #Harrogate. There are also extended bans for two people who’ve breached their current exclusion orders.

Banned from one, banned from all.
