With business rate increases landing from April 7th, the pressure on hospitality and night-time economy businesses is only intensifying.

That’s why this month’s SBA First Tuesday Club is one not to miss.

📅 Tuesday 7th April, 5.30-7pm
📍 Star & Garter 62 Poland St, Soho

We’re bringing together expert voices to help you navigate rising costs, reduce financial pressure, and access the support available:

• Chris Wright (R H & L Ltd) – specialists in business rates relief and cost reduction
• Michael Kill (Night Time Industries Association) – leading industry advocate on policy, VAT, and sector support

This session will focus on:
✔ Business rates – what’s changing and what you can do
✔ VAT pressures and wider cost challenges
✔ Practical ways to reduce overheads
✔ Industry-wide lobbying and support available right now

If you run a hospitality, leisure, or night-time business, this is a chance to get informed, ask questions, and connect with others facing the same challenges.

And if you're not yet part of the SBA — this is the perfect opportunity to see how we support businesses like yours.

At the Night Time Economy Summit 2026, Angela Rayner spoke about something everyone in this industry feels but rarely hears said out loud — hospitality is more than a job. It’s graft, pride, community and resilience.

Because for millions, this sector isn’t a stepping stone. It’s a career, a craft and a culture that keeps our towns and cities alive after dark.

“Hospitality is much bigger than the problems of the business ... it knits us all together”

Chef and businessman Tom Kerridge says the hospitality sector impacts jobs and work across the country, and calls on the government to cut business rates, as average rates on his four pubs have seen a “monstrous” 115% rise

Britain’s pubs, bars and clubs are under serious pressure. The UK night time economy supports 2 million jobs and contributes billions to our economy – yet venues are still closing.

Meanwhile, many European countries back hospitality with lower VAT rates. We’re calling for the UK Government to support hospitality and the night time economy with a targeted VAT cut in line with Europe.

This is about:

✔ Protecting jobs
✔ Supporting high streets
✔ Backing small businesses
✔ Preventing irreversible damage

Business Rates Are Rising. We Need The Truth From The Frontline.

From April, costs are going up again.
For many venues, this is not a spreadsheet issue. It is survival.
We are gathering real time evidence from operators across the UK to show government exactly what these increases mean on the ground.

Where are you based?

How big is your team?

How worried are you about April?

What is the pressure doing to your mental health?

If you run a nightclub, bar, or late night venue, this takes less than 2 minutes.

Your voice strengthens our case. Take the survey now.

Huge congratulations to the amazing Sylvia, the wonderful landlady of the on receiving her award for outstanding achievement from the Nation Pubwatch at last night’s SBA First Tuesday Club event.

Sylvia showed incredible bravery and selflessness in the face of terrible events at her pub last year, putting the wellbeing of her staff and customers ahead of any concerns for her own safety. In this and her supportive spirit to her local community and Soho as a whole, Sylvia represents exactly what Soho is all about.

Well done and very well deserved - with love from us all at the Soho Business Alliance xx
