Chefs spy light at end of Covid tunnel after Sunak budget
Chefs and restaurateurs across London have welcomed Rishi Sunak’s “life saving” budget plans announced today.
A raft of measures aimed at keeping the embattled hospitality industry afloat until it can fully reopen in June includes an extension of the furlough scheme, grants of up to £18,000 for pubs and restaurants, and an extension of the VAT cut.
Jack Stein, chef director of Rick Stein Restaurants says he is impressed with the ‘super deduction’ for investment. “This will definitely stimulate our sector as hospitality looks to reopen. From investment in outdoor spaces to kitchen equipment this is a really positive step.”
