Zoe Adjey, a senior lecturer in at the Institute of Hospitality and Tourism at the University of East London, broke down what the latest round of pub closures mean for the sector.
She said: “Seeing more jobs put at risk by the collapse of Revolution Bars shows exactly why pubs need the Chancellor’s £100million lifeline.
“The support is not just a financial boost, it’s an overdue recognition that pubs are under real pressure. Landlords will be hoping this is just the first step towards genuine backing for these community-based businesses.”
Under the Government’s rescue plan for the sector, every pub in England will get a 15 per cent discount off its new business rates bill from April, with their bills set to be frozen over the next two years.

This will be worth £1,650 for the average pub next year, and will mean around three-quarters of pubs will see their bills stay the same, or fall, next year. The package will mean in 2028/29, business rates receipts from pubs for the Treasury will be lower than they are this year.
Treasury Minister Dan Tomlinson told MPs in the House of Commons: “This week is also independent venue week, so it’s particularly appropriate that I can announce also that our package will apply to music venues too.
“Many live music venues are valued as pubs and many pubs are grassroots live music venues. It would not be right to seek to draw the line so tightly so as to include some and not others.”
The Labour minister said that licensed venues could open until 1am or 2am in the summer in order to show games featuring UK teams during the men’s football World Cup.

He said: “We will legislate to increase the number of temporary events notices for pubs and other hospitality venues, whether that is to help them screen World Cup games or other community and cultural events.”
MPs also heard Labour will consult on loosening planning rules to help pubs, which could mean they will be able to add guest rooms or expand without planning applications.
Mr Tomlinson shared: “We will also continue to engage with the sector to ensure that other retail, leisure and hospitality premises have flexibility.”
