In total 330 brands – representing more than 1400  restaurants in the UK – have written jointly to the Prime Minister calling for further support. The current lockdown is indeed putting enormous pressure on the industry – especially the dine-in sector.

The signatories are asking for:

2. extend business rate relief
3. support testing and cavvincation in the food sector
4. keep the furlough scheme
5. help business with rent
