General Tarleton reopening and Jeopardy Hospitality

That this House welcomes the reopening of the General Tarleton in Ferrensby following its extensive renovation led by Michelin-starred chef Tommy Banks alongside Matthew Lockwood, James Banks and Neil Armstrong through their newly established hospitality group, Jeopardy Hospitality; recognises the importance of local pubs as the beating hearts of their communities, providing spaces for people to come together, celebrate and support one another; further notes that independent hospitality businesses invest back into their communities, provide employment opportunities and help preserve heritage venues; further notes reports that on average two hospitality venues have closed a day in 2025; commends the Jeopardy Hospitality team for their vision in founding a group with a mission to restore and revitalise struggling or closed pubs across the country; celebrates the creation of new jobs and opportunities for young people through this venture; and calls on the Government to do more to support local and independent pubs, including through fairer taxation, reform of business rates and targeted measures that will help them thrive at the heart of communities across the UK.
