The government’s signalled a potential u-turn on pub rates — but nothing’s confirmed yet. Pubs still need your support. Find your local. See what they’re up against. Buy a pint.
Most of the ones around my parents digs are fucked.
Somehow the nearest (and worst) pub is fine.

One nearish me closed overnight after the announcement of the higher tax. Just decided it wasn’t viable.
Don’t think it was that popular to be fair.

It’s just measuring amount of change in rateable value, some properties may have only small increases but many will have larger increases, hence the “fine” to “fucked” scale.
The one that closed may have been making a lot less money than the one that’s still open but this is a fixed cost not related to turnover so if you make small amounts and turned a small profit, even a small increase in fixed costs can put you under.
