Have just done an interview with the BBC World Service on the Budget tomorrow - starts about 1 min 15 in … bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3c…

@ofgem We signed up in December having been advised that we should fix our rates. This was the worst time to do this. We want to extend our contract & blend the higher rate we locked in with the lower rate now available. This would be a great help. £2.05/day fixed charge is outrageous

We want to hear from non-domestic energy customers about their experiences. We’re looking for input on issues around pricing and contracting, competition, and support for small businesses. Share your thoughts through our Call for Input here ⬇️ ow.ly/K9ki50N6TXO

@UKHospKate Just to add that we will paying over £55K more than last year…

@UKHospKate We were refused credit by SSE and British Gas which were 20% cheaper than the other suppliers. We have been customers of SSE for 2 years and paid every bill on time and in full.

Am increasingly hearing from businesses big and small that were it not for the soaring energy bills they would be breaking even - suppliers still refusing contracts and 3-400% increases in bills still too common. Vital energy cos deliver relief & govt suppt extended beyond April

@UKHospKate Sales in the City of London are down about 50% on strike days and 80% when tube and train train strikes happen. Impossible to plan between now and January if these strikes go ahead.

Catastrophically bad for hospitality workers, customers and businesses - the biggest trading week of the year and vital to securing viability for many businesses after 3 years of turmoil. Will cost the sector millions. Vital all sides come to the table to resolve and avert

@UKHospKate @steviexdavis Our daily contract rate is significantly cheaper than a fixed contract 51p v 80p but daily standing charges are £5.75 daily v £1.20 on contract.

@steviexdavis You move to a variable tariff - so subject to spot price movements and obviously less certainty of cost longer term but could allow contract at different rate or term

800%+ increase - totally unviable

Many in the hospitality sector are facing an existential crisis… inews.co.uk/news/soaring-e…

@GeoCyberwolf Yes we had planned on a site in West London and made an offer on a site but now need that cash to just survive….

@K10Restaurant I hope you can come back! Suggestion: Open in areas outside of the city center, where more people live and will order delivery. So you're not dependant solely on office workers

The single most important thing is working capital for the restart. CBIL will lend us money to restart but not to grow. Suppliers, HMRC, Landlords, existing debt all need to be paid back. CBIL will help with that but not with future growth #AskRishi

@ErikBille Erik unfortunately not! We were hoping to but with the current situation any cash we have is going towards survival rather than growth. Really appreciate your and all our customers support.

@AA78UK Hi we are just working on this at the moment. It is around the 750 cal mark. That is indicative only at this stage.

@K10Restaurant quick question that I would appreciate some assistance with (as I couldn't find it on your nutritional information sheet): how many calories are in your salmon teriyaki on white rice dish?

@jamhanlee Pleasure. Thank you for yiur custom!

@K10Restaurant Ok, thank you for your response, really appreciate it! 👍

@K10Restaurant quick question on behalf of a pregnant lady - do you use pasteurised fish roe in your sushi?

@jamhanlee James apologies my mistake. It is UNPASTEURISED so not suitable for anyone pregnant.

@K10Restaurant Hi, I bought some soft shell crab futomaki yesterday and it definitely has fish roe on it, just wan d to check.

@ErikBille Honestly we are not sure. The area has very little footfall and not many offices are occupied there. We are in touch with Broadgate who to their credit have been excellent. The business rates are crazy. We are open in Queen St nr the Bloomberg building. Live to see u there.

@LouisaClarence The City is the same…

Canary Wharf during the 9am "rush hour" this morning...

Not a bad way to mark a return to indoor hospitality, long lunch with industry legend Ian Neill #onslowarms #thestories #greattobeback @YoungsPubs

@CGA_insights @UKHospKate @UKHofficial Thoroughly deserved- incredible efforts for the sector before and during Covid. Thank you for all you do Kate.

We’re delighted to present an Industry Icon Award to a somewhat surprised @UKHospKate @UKHofficial. Congratulations and thank you from a grateful industry! #Peach2020

@UKHospKate Regents St at noon today and Bank Station 5.00pm last Thursday. The NED has less than 20 people in it at lunchtime today.

Out in Westminster, West End and City this afternoon and evening - streets and venues as quiet as they are in that period between Christmas and New Year. This is not sustainable

@UKHospKate Regents St at noon today

@jamieb1 @SadiqKhan @DowneyJD @UKHospKate Hospitality and retail will be devastated by this.

The #mayoroflondon @SadiqKhan needs to reverse the insane #CongestionCharge extension covering evenings and weekends. We in #hospitality are trying to get back into business not putting off people from coming into #London. HELP don’t HURT. @DowneyJD @UKHospKate
