As the hospitality industry pivots temporarily towards takeaway, delivery, grocery provision and charitable action in the bid to stay alive, it's incredibly useful to have everything they're doing under one roof at hospitalitydelivers.org. Stay home. Protect the NHS. Eat something nice.

Hospitality Delivers is a brilliant initiative, showcasing the very best of the hospitality sector‘s efforts on behalf of those who most need our help right now, and allowing all of us to support the hotels, restaurants, cafes and bars we so love. It‘s one to make sure that they are there at the end of all this.
Jay Rayner, The Observer Restaurant Critic

Not only is hospitality one of the UK’s biggest revenue generators, employing more people than the aeronautics, pharmaceutical and automotive industries combined... but what even is a community without restaurants? Hospitality Delivers is a way of keeping track of the brilliant ways the industry is fighting back, and allowing those of us who love it to help with our support.

Never has the hospitality business needed our support more. Hospitality Delivers helps us help those doing so much good work. It also offers practical ways of supporting our favourite hotels and restaurants.

The UK restaurant industry has never faced a sterner test than it does today: a struggle for its very existence. Hospitality Delivers is a brilliant initiative, mapping the new landscape in which we find ourselves, helping restaurants to reconnect with their customers, and hailing those who have turned their skills to helping others. It deserves our wholehearted support.
Bill Knott, Food and drink writer

The more we are in isolation the more we realise how much we need each other. There is nothing that is more social and memorable than eating out with friends and family and therefore we need all our fabulous restaurants to not only survive but to somehow thrive through these surreal times. Stay at home and buy a voucher to redeem later or treat yourself to a delivery - just remember - Hospitality Delivers! .

Eating out is one of London‘s great pleasures and feasting on a dish I haven‘t cooked myself is a joy I miss sharply these days. The country‘s waiters, chefs, restaurant proprietors and food producers are suffering worse than many at a time when we can‘t go out. I hugely support Hospitality Delivers and wish the people contributing to its success all the very best.
Sasha Slater, The Telegraph’s Head of Magazines

Without us realising it, hospitality has quietly been an intrinsic part of the fabric of life and society – we all miss it. Venues play host to our biggest life events while hospitality people put heart and soul into delivering the best possible experiences for customers.
Mark Lewis, CEO Hospitality Action

The hospitality industry has always provided us with things we enjoy: food, drink and beautiful places in which to meet - or to escape. They’re part of our lives. Hopefully, Hospitality Delivers will allow the great people who inhabit these beloved, once everyday spaces to continue to showcase what they’re great at, while helping those in need.

Napoleon said, ‘An army marches on its stomach!’. Through Hospitality Delivers, not only can you fortify yourself for the tough times ahead, but also support and applaud the achievements of a hard-hit trade that brings so much joy in happy times.

As lots of us sit in our bunkers, tracking the ways the businesses we love are adapting to the current crisis and wondering how we can continue to help, Hospitality Delivers feels like a terrific idea; a clear, vital resource that‘s just the beam of positivity needed to get us through the uncertainty and over to the other side.
Jimi Famurewa, ES Magazine Restaurant Critic

Hospitality Delivers is a great window into how everyone in the industry can remain engaged, positive and help others until we can open our doors to the public again.

hospitalitydelivers.org is a fine idea and we hope many take advantage.
