A Leeds pub has been forced to completely shut its kitchen and let go of its chef due to the extreme rise in energy bills.
The Railway Inn in Rodley has announced it can no longer afford the costs associated with offering food as small businesses across the country report struggling with bills. The family pub has seen energy prices double in just a year.
When landlord Chris Gill took over managing The Railway Inn around two years ago, he said they paid 12.5p per kilowatt. Around the end of last year, that had reached 31p. They're now looking at a huge 64p per kilowatt.
