Cornish craft brewery, Harbour Brewery, officially reopened the St Tudy Inn on Saturday 4 December in preparation to welcome customers for Christmas and New Year’s Eve celebrations.
Only a Pavement Away (OAPA ) charity has pledged to create more than 700 jobs in the hospitality sector by 2024 and as part of this, has teamed up with St Austell Brewery.
South west-based operator and brewer St Austell has temporarily decreased its food service hours and opening hours in some of its managed sites, in a bid to tackle the current recruitment crisis.
With one of the highest numbers of furloughed workers in accommodation and food sectors in the country, Cornwall is eagerly anticipating the reopening of hospitality.
Wet-led licensees said they are bracing themselves for months of extended closure as they fear it will not be viable to reopen under another tiered system of restrictions even if permitted.
Since reopening, many pub operators have taken to social media to lament experiences of customers being rude to pub staff or leaving unreasonable reviews online.
