Olive Tree Bath

@JohnWebberFRICS @libdemdaisy So perhaps you could call for absolute clarity from @RachelReevesMP rather than accusing the industry of spreading misinformation?

@OliveTreeBath @libdemdaisy I absolutely agree . The VOA are only responsible for the RV - the multipliers reliefs are not set by them. They should either provide a full calculator or direct you to one - unfortunately they have done neither which creates uncertainty.

⚠️ WOW. High streets are being hit with a business rates bombshell. Chancellor has serious questions to answer: ❓How many businesses will pay rates for the first time? ❓How many will see bills go up? ❓Why isn’t she using the powers she gave herself to help high streets?

@JohnWebberFRICS @libdemdaisy In order to plan and run a business you need facts. There is no document that supports a clear position on any capped transitional relief. The guidance you referenced is vague and covers business moving from small exemptions to low RHL. It does not refer to a business my size.

@OliveTreeBath @libdemdaisy Yes I can see where you looked - the problem is it only gives the basic calculation example although it does caveat reliefs etc - I am sure it is meant to help but without the full calculation it is of course incorrect .

@JohnWebberFRICS @libdemdaisy You are not correct, on the VOA site there is a link that shows you your calculated bill. RV x BM. There is no mention of any cap. I believe I have your details I will send info to you.

@OliveTreeBath @libdemdaisy The VOA site will not give details of your actual bill . They are only concerned with the value - the rateable value which is only one of three elements that make up your bill. RV x multiplier x relief . Send me your details and I will give you the exact bill for 3 years .

@JohnWebberFRICS @libdemdaisy If this is correct, it is very confusing. I have reviewed our projected rates bill on the VOA site and it does not show any cap. Our 2026 rates bill is shown to increase by 95% over our 2025 rates payable. If the bill is capped at 30% why is this not shown in the assessment.

@libdemdaisy gov.uk/government/pub… capped at 5/15/30 % let’s not overly worry business . Not great but a lot of misinformation.

Happy International Chefs Day! This year's is actually the 20th; it was started by Dr Bill Gallagher in 2004 and aims each year to highlight the work of chefs, and encourages them to teach the next generation to love food and to cook.

Along with our 4th AA rosette, Michelin awarded The Queensberry a key in its inaugural batch of only 123 hotels in the UK & Ireland. To toast these accolades, we're serving a gratis glass of Flint Charmat Rosé (or a Purus Blanc de Blancs 0%) with every lunch booking until 24 Nov.

It’s National Chocolate Week (16-22 October)! Indebted to the OED: "Originally: a paste or powder made of ground roasted cocoa beans (typically sweetened and sometimes with other ingredients or flavourings added)."

Last month the AA awarded us our 4th rosette, & last week Michelin gave The Queensberry a key to go with our star. It'd be churlish not to celebrate it with you with a free glass of Flint Charmat Rosé (or a Purus Blanc de Blancs 0%) with every lunch booking, up until 24 Nov.

Thrilled, buzzing & incredibly pleased to announce that we were awarded four AA Rosette at this year’s @AAHospitality Awards! Huge congratulations to Chris Cleghorn & his amazing team, as well as to all the night’s other winners & rosette-recipients! #AAawards

Congratulations to The Olive Tree at the Queensbury Hotel @olivetreebath @chriscleghorn on achieving 4 #AARosettes! #AAawards @rakporcelaineu @VisitBath @VisitBathBiz
