As per news report of NDTV, six of the country's biggest pub and brewing firms said some pubs had seen a more than three-fold hike in bills this year, as part of a wider cost of living crisis. "We have publicans who are experiencing 300-percent-plus increases in energy costs and some energy companies are refusing to even quote for supply," said William Lees Jones, managing director of the JW Lees pub group. "In some instances, tenants are giving us notice since their businesses do not stack up with energy at these costs."
