Allow pubs to sell alcoholic beverages without the need of a substantial meal.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The hospitality industry has been one of the worst hit during the coronavirus pandemic in the UK.

We would kindly request the Government to re review their legislations to allow all public houses to sell alcoholic beverages without the need of a substantial meal.
We would like the government to strongly reconsider their actions as many pubs in the UK are wet led.

The hospitality industry injects Billions of pounds a year in to the economy, this is only achievable by being open to the public.

We’re not just “the pub” we are places to have a moments peace from the daily struggle upon what most people endure.

People use their local as an escape from loneliness and depression being at home to more serious events such as domestic abuse.
