🍔 SAVE HOSPITALITY 🍔
We’re not usually ones for getting political, but this is something that affects every independent food business, pub, café and restaurant in the country.
The hospitality industry is under more pressure than ever. Rising food costs, utility bills, wages and taxes are making it increasingly difficult for small businesses to survive.
Reducing VAT from 20% to 10% would give hospitality businesses the breathing room they desperately need, helping to protect jobs, keep prices fair for customers and stop more local venues from closing their doors.
If you’ve ever ordered from Raidys, visited your local pub, grabbed a takeaway on a Friday night or enjoyed a meal out with family and friends, please take 30 seconds to sign this petition.

Let’s stand together and support the industry that supports so many communities across the UK.
The hospitality sector has come together to launch – a united campaign and petition calling for hospitality VAT to be reduced from 20% to 10%.
Spearheaded by chef and publican Tom Kerridge, we’re working alongside trade bodies across the sector, such as and , hospitality communities like , and you, businesses across hospitality, to say 10% VAT is fair for hospitality.
Our sector pays too much tax, and VAT is the single biggest lever the Government can pull to support venues, our customers, our high streets and our local communities.
This campaign is for everyone: businesses, customers, waiting staff, chefs, kitchen porters, bar staff, hotel teams, farmers, brewers, suppliers and producers.
Like, sign the petition and share this post – we need your support to reach a million signatures.
