Rejected petition Allow hospitality venues to sell takeaway alcohol

We call the Government to reverse their decision in the new National Restrictions from 5 November to prevent the sale of takeaway alcohol from hospitality venues like restaurants, bars and pubs.

More details

Many hospitality businesses around the country will see their income considerably reduced whilst others will have no income at all. Wet led pubs have not benefited from VAT reduction on food or the Eat out to Help out Scheme and this measure will see the closure of many of our favourite community pubs.
