Some people are mind numbingly ignorant.
After what hospitality has been through jokers like this are still savaging freebies in the name of influence
Get in the bin..... scrounging insensitive fools....
Just been asked for a free meal for four in exchange for a social media post because someone has 8.9k Instagram followers....
It’s for my 10 course Vegan Menu

Sorry but as an industry that’s barely surviving why would anyone ask for this for a post?
Thank you to
@Keir_Starmer
@AngelaRayner
&
@AndyBurnhamGM
for taking the time out to listen to us and take on board just how much impact the current restrictions and financial support packages impact hospitality.
A genuine concern for our situation, our employees & our industry
Two weeks notice to wear a mask. Three hours notice before you shaft hospitality again
@BorisJohnson
@MattHancock
you are an utter shower of shithousery
@UK_Democrat
Restaurants aren’t here to give things away for free
Pop into McDonald’s and ask for a complementary cheeseburger and see what happens
People need to stop trying to scrounge off small businesses
Please don’t ring my restaurant and abuse my staff because you haven’t the ability to read correctly
They aren’t there to be abused and we will not tolerate it.
From us. Thank you for your support. For your kind words. Thank you to our team, our guests, our friends, our suppliers. We're heartbroken. We're sorry to anyone we have let down.
Why do people expect restaurants to just give food away?
And I mean at any point, never mind in the current economic climate….
If you order something that is or isn’t on the menu (as is the case here) it’s chargeable,
I don’t think that’s unreasonable

10% VAT FOR HOSPITALITY NOW
The Government needs to Stop sitting on its hands and letting great businesses, fantastic operators & employers (never-mind lovely people & their teams) go under while they DO NOTHING

Air fryers are simply bloody awful. I’ve tried different ones with different things and every time it’s just rubbish.
Cook properly, pans, oven, grill. Salt pepper butter and thyme.
Good luck to everyone opening in outdoor hospitality today!
And if you’re lucky enough to be going somewhere please be respectful and be safe.
The guys working to provide you with something we have all missed so much will need time to find their feet!
Enjoy everyone!

says the hospitality sector wants to help the government, but it needs the right support if they're being forced to close.
He adds that Andy Burnham is 'doing what is right.'

Imagine the thought process in the moronic mind that decides to host a press conference to lock the country down (with the exception of the sector causing the most cases) on the day that you rip financial support away from people and replace with something hopelessly inadequate
Genuinely gutted about this, but, it’s important I look where I’m going and not where I’ve been.
This gives be the chance to elevate WOOD Manchester to the level I want it to be at, to push forward and raise its game massively....
I’ll see you there.....
@WoodRestaurants
Oxford Circus last night at 10.10pm.
I had dinner with 2 friends in a socially distanced restaurant- everyone was obeying the rules. Without 10pm curfew we would have ordered desert & more drinks.
You can see why many in hospitality say the curfew isn’t fair and isn’t working
Morning Guys
I Hope you enjoyed

@WoodRestaurants
wearing PPE, Sanitiser, Hand Washes, we adhere to social distance we play by the rules....
Only for their shifts to all end at 10pm and then they have to battle their way home through crowds of people.
It’s not right
