Pub landlord claims industry is 'being destroyed from every angle' as hospitality struggles against mounting pressures
The British pub industry is facing severe challenges, with three million jobs at risk, according to pub landlord Kate Stewart. She highlighted that low-skill jobs are disappearing rapidly as pubs struggle with rising energy costs, taxation, and business rates, leading to permanent closures.
