We’ve officially hit 75,000 signatures since launching #VATsTheProblem – the united sector campaign calling for hospitality VAT to be reduced from 20% to 10%.
A huge thank you to everyone that has engaged with our campaign so far, but there’s still a long way to go. Sign the petition now 👇

Hospitality is united that #VATsTheProblem. A new sector-wide campaign, spearheaded by @ChefTomKerridge, is calling for hospitality VAT to be reduced from 20% to 10%.
Hospitality pays too much tax, and VAT is the single biggest lever the Government can pull to support the sector. Sign the petition today 👇

Consistently the best value wine in Chablis. Also ‘21 is a killer vintage. Don’t @ me.

Winenot opening a chefs table?? Surely our man on the ground knows more? @Chablislodge
I was tipped off that there will be a unique Aligote pairing available showcasing the finest examples from across burgundy. Remember folks, it just ripens slower than chardonnay!

If there’s one thing that definitely appeals to potential customers its business owners complaining about the exact reason they’re in business in the first place

Open a packet of 10p crisps and pour it round the plate - Then charge them another £3 for the privilege

We have a full price à la carte because if all we had was a £12.50 set lunch we’d have already gone bust

There is a full menu alongside this one. It is full size and priced in line with the economic capabilities to remain open of a business this person enjoys visiting

Here’s some great feedback we received today which I’ll immediately be acting on by closing our restaurant & laying off our entire team because if guests expect large portions as well as great service when two courses are £12.50 I’d pretty much say all hope is lost.

I got one of these for gravy granules and the other for having a really good wine list. Guess which way round! 😂😂 @Chablislodge

I entered the aligote category but ended up winning rose 🤷🏻♂️ At least it’s a wine style @Chablislodge is willing to consume.

I’m now banning councilors as well as MPs. You can lift the ban at the door by recording a short message agreeing that your, apparently, business illiterate chancellor is destroying UK hospitality.

Hospitality is one industry and we must remain united.
We may have made progress, but the job is far from finished.
Please see below press release.
