Pubs are far more valuable to society than the tax they pay The UK government was forced into a tax U-turn, but what about other struggling businesses?

This is a familiar problem. Of course businesses will amend hours to match perceived demand and will accept private bookings, but the other side of the coin is that potential customers need to know what is going on. So many pubs could do more, both online and with a notice outside, to let us know!

My biggest gripe when trying to keep opening hours up to date on @beerguidelondon.bsky.social Either nothing listed on their website at all or different hours on website, Google maps, Instagram, twitter, etc.

You complain about lack of business but then make it impossible to know when to visit!

Nice back lanes as it warms up. Pint of hop soup at the Sandstone in Wezzy Park. Dangerously drinkable at the strength

I need your help to stop more pubs closing The Government are trying to water down planning protections for pubs meaning more could be lost forever.Use CAMRA's quick template tool to ask your local MP to protect our pubs in the planning system...

Please ask your MP to help our precious pubs; they are put even more at risk by the proposed changes to Planning rules.
