Andrew Mitchell MP visited the Townhouse on the High Street to mark National Hospitality Day.

The day is a nationwide celebration of the UK’s brilliant and resilient pubs, bars, restaurants and their suppliers across the country. 

The new initiative has been organised by a coalition of the main industry charities that have supported those people working in hospitality that have been hardest hit by the pandemic. 

Following his visit Andrew said:

“It was good to visit the Townhouse to mark National Hospitality Day. The pandemic has hit the hospitality sector particularly hard over the last 18 months and I was glad to be able to pop in to say thanks to the Townhouse team for all that they have done to support our local community, including offering their parking spaces free of charge to those attending for a Covid vaccine earlier this year. It was great to see the Townhouse bustling again and I hope that our local hospitality businesses will continue to thrive once again as we see business begin to bounce back after what has undoubtedly been an incredibly difficult period.”
