The UK’s hospitality industry has been hit hard by the COVID-19 crisis, with all hospitality outlets ordered to shut their doors to the public from Friday 20th March, with further lockdown measures announced last night.
Although the situation is changing daily, the sector and its people are battening down the hatches to survive, so they can hit the ground running when the situation finally comes to a close.

Beer left to stagnate inside lines could prove costly, so licensees need to take precautions.
