Restaurants to open with no food, cinemas to open with no films and swimming pools to open with no water. 🤷♂️👇🙈.

Here we are… This is the list of cancellations taken in one of our restaurants in the past six days… 654 guests.I understand why. Public health is THE most important thing. But what will the government do to support the industry? Many places will crumble without help…

What an absolute mess. shutting restaurants down for the 3rd time this year. Hospitality cannot keep doing this without proper support. but don’t worry, we can all hangout for 5 days at Christmas. .

Companies should of course make profit, but when energy companies are making billions more than even they expected, whilst small businesses are getting squeezed in a death grip by utility bills surely something is wrong…? 🤷♂️.

1/2 I’m deeply shocked and hugely saddened to hear the tragic news about Gary Rhodes. He is one of the greatest British chefs who almost single handedly put British food on the world stage. Taking simple ingredients, embracing classic dishes & making something world class.

We stand with @MarcusRashford in calling on Government to conduct an URGENT COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW into #FreeSchoolMeals policy across UK nations. Sticking plasters & short term solutions will not suffice. Now is the time to act. #EndChildFoodPoverty

@guyawoodward @HandFMarlow Those prices include everything , vat and service. No additional service charge at all. Also I pay staff properly and treat their job as a professional career. Perhaps the real cost of dining should be addressed. Unpretentious does not mean cheap. Also, why is profit a bad word?.

We're doing this 💪.
76,000 seater Old Trafford could be filled 30 times by children who were food insecure in 2020. Whilst we work on finding a long term sustainable answer to ending child food poverty in the UK, I want to use what is available to me to equip children with a vital life skill.

@EdwardGreen1 Hi Ed. do you have a problem? We have 3 busy pubs that would otherwise be shut. one was empty when we took it on 15years ago, the other was a Chinese takeaway and the last only opened in the evening and all 3 lost money. essentially we’ve “saved” them. .

2020 is now completely in the twilight zone. For the first time ever, I agree with Nigel. is he now one of the good guys?.
If the government can subsidise Eat Out to Help Out, not being seen to give poor kids lunch in the school holidays looks mean and is wrong.

I just wish that they’d actually hear what we’ve all been telling them for almost a year now. Moving forward, an honest approach with clarity and understanding would be a start. it’s the wobbly uncertainty and spineless blurb that’s so frustrating. .
I called it yesterday. Today we wake up to hospitality “leaks” on the front of every major newspaper. This isn’t leadership. It causes anxiety, fear or false hope. They are testing public reaction, before the announcement. Another week of uncertainty and rumour.

Two pubs, 45 staff. 50,000 customers safely served under restrictions since July. Not one positive test, yet hospitality gets blamed and has to pay the price. Universities, 60% positive test rate in many, they are left carry on regardless. How is that ok?.
