James saw his energy bills quote go up 700% from £2,928 a year to £22,516.34 😧
Pub owner, James Allcock, 36, is calling for VAT reduction after energy bills shot up 700% to £23k a year - despite his restaurant offering just 22-covers
James said:"It is way off the mark - the level of time it lasts is insulting. It's disgusting how households get two years and we get six months - I think it is absolutely insulting. It is not enough - I am more than disappointed. Not only is the cap not enough, the level of time it applies to businesses is not enough and the fact it doesn't come with"Granted this isn't the same administration, but this is the same Conservative party.
James said he would like to see a full-scale reduction in VAT at 5 per cent for food and 10 per cent for alcohol. He said:"The support needs to be hand and mouth VAT support and that needs to be announced today - I needed a plan two hours ago, not in three months. I have had my business for five years - it is a profitable business that is well respected in the community. Overnight my energy bills have risen to £22,516.34. We do not make that amount of money - that is unsustainable for us.
Earlier this year, Masterchef Champion Eddie Scott, who lives in Beverley, sold out a tasting evening at the restaurant, before taking up a role with the Michelin-starred Pipe and Glass, also in Beverley.
