Pubs, bars and restaurants facing closure this winter are demanding help on top of the energy price cap to prevent an "unfolding catastrophe".
In a letter to the chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, hospitality chief's have warned urgent clarity is needed to save businesses "on the brink of closure".
Representatives from across the sector said that while the energy price cap will provide a "critical lifeline", more support is needed so firms "not only survive but thrive again".
