Young parents who run a popular tapas restaurant say they are fighting for their business' survival after being hit with an eye-watering bill increase of more than £6,000 a month. Campo Blanco in Whitefield has seen their bills soar to between £8,000-£10,000 a month - leading them to reduce their opening hours.
The Moss Lane restaurant had recently rolled out a new brunch menu which will now be stopped so the owners can reduce their running costs. This is a third setback for a four-year-old business that has fought through the coronavirus lockdown and increased import costs due to Brexit.
“We were just so shocked when we saw it [the energy bill quote],” co-owner Aaron Cummins said.
