Pubs are not just places to drink.
They are the heartbeat of our communities — where friendships are made, families come together, staff build careers, local suppliers are supported, and memories are created.
But right now, hospitality is being pushed to breaking point.
Energy bills. Food costs. Employment costs. Business rates. And on top of it all — 20% VAT.
That is why Panerax Bars is proudly backing the VAT’s The Problem campaign, calling for a fairer 10% VAT rate for hospitality.
This is about protecting our pubs.
Protecting jobs.
Protecting suppliers.
Protecting high streets.
Protecting the communities we all care about.
