The hospitality industry is the UK’s third largest industry and accounts for 10% of all employment.
HospoDemo protestors from all parts of the industry will come together to make themselves heard. At 11 am on 7 December all attendees will turn to the Houses of Parliament and make as make as much noise as possible to ensure their message is heard by MPs.
All attendees have been advised to follow social distancing rules and to come wearing a face mask. During the first demonstration, held on 19 October 2020, prominent attendees included chefs Jason Atherton, Tom Aikens and Yotam Ottolenghi.
HospoDemo has been organised by industry marketer, Rachel Harty. She said: “Pubs, restaurants and bars are the lifeblood of communities and part of the fabric of Britain’s society and culture.
“Hospitality has been victimised for too long now, and I sincerely hope that Monday’s protest will lead to fewer restrictions and enhanced support. Otherwise, when the time comes to celebrate the end of the pandemic, many of our cherished pubs, restaurants and bars won’t have survived.”
