The owner of Upminster Taproom is furious at how the hospitality industry has been treated under the latest Covid-19 restrictions.
Caroline Sheldon - who runs the Taproom alongside husband Bob Knowles - has hit out at the short notice pubs and restaurants were given to close ahead of London moving into Tier 3 on Wednesday (December 16).
She s clear that her issue doesn t lie with the imposition of stricter rules, but with what she considers a targeting of her industry: “If it was a full lockdown I’d understand, but it’s only restaurants and pubs really that have to close. We re being punished.”
