Celebrity chef Tom Kerridge has revealed the annual energy bill at his pub has skyrocketed from £60,000 to £420,000.
He said one of his pubs has a monthly electricity bill of £5,000 but this is set to rise to £35,000 in December.
Mr Kerridge has three pubs, all based in Marlow, Buckinghamshire - but warned how the hospitality industry as a whole is facing “harsh realities” when trying to stay open.
