Restaurants Need a Minister for Hospitality, London Chefs Say | Eater London

"Owned by Angela Hartnett, this Michelin-starred London restaurant made headlines when its proprietor posted an Instagram video reiterating a plea first made in October for a dedicated Minister for Hospitality. She argued that hospitality — the UK’s third-largest employer, representing over three million people — needs ministerial representation from someone who understands how the sector works, so a single governmental voice can speak for establishments ranging from local coffee shops and pubs to hotels and restaurants. She urged viewers to sign the Seat at the Table–linked petition (which aims for 100,000 signatures) as part of a wider campaign spotlighting venues and lobbying for unified political representation for the industry." - Adam Coghlan
