Dinner last night at Hiraeth. Excellent as ever (is my go to place ) with the slightly surprising star of the show the pea and broadbean chawanmushi.

We’ve written to the PM about the stark reality of tax increases on hospitality. Last month’s survey showed the effect on business with a third operating at a loss and this is the reality for workers with hours and jobs slashed - we are being #TaxedOut thetimes.com/business-money…

Hospitality is the beating heart of our economy and communities, but we’re being #TaxedOut. We are calling on the Gov't to act in the Budget. ✅Lower business rates ✅Fix NICs ✅Cut VAT We’re making our voice heard & we need yours too. Find out more 👉ukhospitality.org.uk/campaigns/taxe…
