Everyone in hospitality is struggling due to years of bad economic policies
It’s tough and getting tougher
Please support your local hospitality businesses, pubs, clubs, cafes, restaurants, hotels, self-catering holiday homes, take aways, they all need helping out
As a hospitality business, we’re often expected to keep a cheerful, positive face on social media. We upload photographs of our food and drink, share our events, and celebrate the good times and encourage everyone to come along and enjoy themselves.
But today, we want to take some time to talk about something a little different. Something much more serious.
Like many hospitality businesses across the UK, we’re finding things increasingly difficult. The rising cost of almost everything involved in running a hospitality business is putting enormous pressure on us and those who have businesses like ours. From energy bills and food prices to staffing and the countless other expenses involved in keeping our doors open, the financial challenges are becoming harder and harder to absorb. And we want to be honest with you. We are not immune to these pressures. Our future is at risk.
For over 200 years, we have been part of Camborne. We’ve been here through generations of change, economic difficulties and challenging times. We’ve welcomed generations of customers, celebrated countless special occasions, provided entertainment and, hopefully, created some wonderful memories along the way. We’ve always been proud of our place in the local community, and we’ve tried to give something back wherever we can.
We regularly invest time, money and considerable effort into bringing entertainment and events to the town. From outdoor festivals to live bands, DJs and themed restaurant evenings, we want to give people somewhere to go, something to look forward to and an opportunity to get together with friends and family.
And we do this with FREE ENTRY to our events.
But here’s the difficult part: free entry doesn’t mean free to organise.
Every event involves costs, investment, staff, preparation and a great deal of hard work. When attendance is disappointing, those costs don’t simply disappear. We absorb them, often without seeing the return needed to make it sustainable. And, to be honest, it’s becoming increasingly frustrating.
We regularly hear people say there’s nothing happening locally, that the town needs more entertainment and that there are fewer and fewer places to go. Yet when local businesses make the effort to organise events and provide those opportunities, the support doesn’t always follow.
We cannot continue providing these experiences if people aren’t willing to support them.
We’ve watched too many local businesses close their doors over recent years, and it’s difficult to see what that means for the future of our town. We don’t want to become another empty building, another business that people say they wish was still open.
But the uncomfortable reality is that, without greater support from our customers and our local community, we face the very real possibility that we may have no choice but to close our doors for good.
And after more than 200 years, that would be heartbreaking.
We’re not asking anyone to spend money they don’t have, and we’re certainly not asking for charity. We’re simply asking you to remember that independent local businesses need customers to survive. Supporting them means actually using them, not just saying how much you’d miss them if they disappeared.
So, if you enjoy having us in Camborne, please show us.
Pop in for a drink. Bring your friends and family. Come along to our events. Book a table for dinner. And if you’re organising a Christmas celebration this December, please consider celebrating with us. Tell your friends about us. Share our events. Help spread the word. Don’t wait until another local business closes to realise how much it meant to the community.
We love what we do, we’re proud of our history, and we desperately want to continue being part of Camborne for many years to come.
But we need your support to make that happen.
PLEASE SUPPORT LOCAL. PLEASE SUPPORT TYACKS HOTEL.
