We estimate 82% of pubs are now in Tier 3 & 4 and 94% of all pub businesses are unviable. Not such a Merry Christmas. We need urgent support now to prevent business failure

Opening pubs without selling alcohol is not “reopening” pubs at all. Selling alcohol in a safe environment is at the core of what we do. Despite our business model being stripped bare, the very core of what we do is now under attack. This has to stop.

If media reports are correct the new tiering system is disastrous for

It’s outrageous you can have a pint in a theatre, concert hall, cinema or sports ground without a substantial meal, but not the pub. It is a slap in the face of pubs and brewers.

This is a de facto lockdown for our sector. We urgently need enhanced support to survive. Make no mistake our Pubs & Brewers are in great peril. Without Government action we stand to lose 1000s of pubs, hundreds of 1000s of jobs & the very heart of our communities

From the details we have, it looks like a disappointing announcement for Beer & Pub Sector. Outdoor opening -as we told Gov- not viable option. More support will be needed to survive prolonged closure, but what we really need is to be opened fully inside&out as soon as possible.

The future of our Great British Pubs are at risk. If we lose them we lose part of our culture and our communities will lose a vital social asset forever. We need support now to survive.

Delaying 21st June is beyond disappointing for the sector - it’s devastating news for the hardest hit sector. Gov needs to address the economic impact of the delay & support our pubs & brewers
4 more weeks of restrictions will cost pubs £400 million ❗
There can be no further delays to full reopening 🙅♂️
Pubs must open properly on July 19th 🔓
Financial support is also now needed to see our pubs through to the end of the year 💰

Extending the furlough scheme to the end of April is a welcome reassurance for our teams, as is committing to paying 80% of wages, but we desperately need more grant support, confirmation of a business rates holiday and a duty and VAT cut for beer to see us through.
