We’ve just signed the petition calling for 10% VAT for the hospitality industry — and we really believe this is something worth getting behind.
Small cafés, bakeries, restaurants and pubs are working harder than ever, but the pressure from rising costs, VAT, wages, stock, rent and utilities is making it tougher and tougher for independent businesses to survive, let alone grow.
Hospitality brings so much to local communities — jobs, meeting places, busy high streets, tourism, comfort, memories and those little treats that make people’s day better.
A reduced VAT rate would give businesses like ours a real chance to keep going, keep improving, keep employing and keep serving our communities properly.
If you love your local cafés, bakeries, pubs and restaurants, please consider signing and sharing.
Every signature helps.

Thank you as always for supporting small independents like us.
