The Churchill Arms
The boss of the Fuller’s pub chain has called on the government to get on with its energy support plan as it warned hospitality firms wouldn’t be able to cope under the strain of soaring utility bills.
The Chiswick-based firm, which runs the iconic Churchill Arms pub in Kensington and City favourite The Counting House in Bank, said it expects gas and electricity costs to swell 125% to £18 million for the current year, and warned energy market costs could grow higher still as demand surges during the winter months. Fuller’s said it was taking steps to slash its energy usage.
