Use Your Local Pub — Or Lose It!
With rising costs, hospitality is facing its toughest time yet, and the UK is at risk of losing up to 9,000 pubs — your local needs your support!
From April, pubs with a rateable value of £100,000 will see business rates increase by £19,000 per year. To cover just this rise, they’ll need to sell an extra:
• 60,000 pints a year
• 1,200 pints a week
• 170 extra pints a day
And that’s before factoring in soaring energy bills, staff wages, and other expenses.
Love your local? Support it before it’s too late! In the last couple of years, Metropolitan Bushey has made significant investments in making Monty’s a welcoming public bar for everyone to use. We are a not-for-profit business, so every penny spent with us covers our costs and profits are reinvested into the future of our fabulous pub, events and venue for the local community.
