Several Scottish hospitality leaders have joined forces to help safeguard around 220,000 jobs, as the industry faces its third and toughest winter since the start of the pandemic.
Edinburgh’s Brewhemia, McKays Hotel in Perthshire, Links House at Royal Dornoch in Sutherland, Ingliston Country Club & Hotel in Renfrewshire, Tyneside Tavern and Mazzoli Italian Kitchen in East Lothian, and Banchory Lodge in Aberdeenshire are among more than 50 hospitality firms backing a new campaign.
Energy is the biggest reported cost hike, on top of increases in food and labour bills this winter. Many business owners believe this could be a stretch too far without the support of initiatives like Help Out Hospitality, which is being led by food and drink procurement company The Full Range.
