This is a MASSIVE issue for us. On top of ridiculous rates hikes, we’re now faced with extortionate fee increases from a monopoly body. Last year, we paid £31,500 to PPL. This year, they want £104,000. We’re not going to pay this. We’ve cut DJs at all venues. Everyone loses.

#NationalTimeOut THANK YOU Tommi for getting the message out there. We need more of our better known chefs and restaurateurs stepping up like this please. So far it’s only been Yotam Ottolenghi and thomasinamiers. Where is everyone else..? thisismoney.co.uk/money/news/art…

#NationalTimeOut This is a copy of @downeyjd letter to the Chancellor. It sets out measures that could save millions of jobs. Very grateful to everyone who has helped create this. 🙌🙏✊🍷🥂

To Rishi Sunak THANK YOU for the JRS extension but if we don’t come up with a national solution to the impending rent apocalypse, 50% of businesses and 2 million jobs will be lost in hospitality by the end of the year. This must be your new priority. We need a #NationalTimeOut.

Dinerama is back this Friday & Saturday from 5pm. The full venue is not open including Winerama but there is plenty of great food and drink available. Cheers 🥂

Great to be back open at Dinerama. 😎

It won’t be as bad as this in the UK but, for months now, I’ve been saying 50% of all hospitaity venues will be gone for good by the end of the year unless we get a deal on rent debt. What is the Chancellor going to do about this? Continue to ignore it? #NationalTimeOut

SALES UPDATE Averaged like-for-like sales (compared to the same week last year) for the first three weeks since we re-opened: 🍔 Dinerama: 28% 🍸 Milk & Honey: 32% Desperate. Shoreditch and Soho are empty with no sign of it coming back. We expect sales to dip in August.
