The cost of living is hitting us hard
The landlady of Leeds’ oldest pub is bracing for the “horrendous” energy bills come winter as she’s not allowed to install double glazing or make any significant changes to the listed building which dates back more than a thousand years.
"The energy bills for this place are just horrendous. It’s an old building, it’s listed, you can’t have double glazing. You’re very restricted to what you can do. Kay says the cost of living crisis means country pubs now have to focus on making good food in particular, above anything else. “You’ve got to keep a good pint, don’t get me wrong, because you get all the gents who know exactly what a good pint is. But you’ve got to serve good home cooked food, definitely.
Kay and Ryan have systems in place to reduce costs, however. They’ve had a new boiler installed to power up the old-fashioned cast-iron radiators which get “red hot”. Plus they have log burners in place, dotted around the venue which spans three floors and has a tap room, dining area, function space above, kitchen and living quarters.Kay said: “Because it’s so old, when we had that red-hot weather it was nice and cool because the walls are so thick.
