It’s great to bring you news of more restaurant openings, product launches and business developments in the South West this week. When the history of this pandemic is written, we think the hospitality industry will come out of it very well. Despite being one of the sectors most impacted by Covid-19, hospitality has done everything it can to help local communities. We’ve had distillers making hand sanitiser, restaurants giving out food parcels and hotels housing the homeless. So it’s no surprise to see the overwhelming response from our industry to footballer Marcus Rashford’s plea for the government to provide free school meals for the poorest children during the holidays.

After the helping hand of Eat Out to Help Out, just when we thought we could be over the worst, the latest government announcements came as a fresh blow. They hit all the harder as restrictions look likely to be in place for the next six months. Worse still, as Hale Events’ MD Mike Anderson says in his guest article for us this issue, it’s not backed by the evidence and won’t stop the rise in Covid cases. Here at Rise & Shine we’ll do all we can to help your business and get news of your initiatives and innovations out there to over 15,000 fellow professionals in the South West hospitality business through this digital newsletter and our new website....

The coronavirus continues to disrupt hospitality more than perhaps any other sector with the government’s new “rule of six” restrictions likely to hit customer confidence again. But you can see from the success of Eat Out to Help Out and in many businesses’ successful pivots to takeaway, there’s always going to be a deep desire to get out there and enjoy great food and drink. Let us know your company’s new initiatives and we will do our best to support you with some good old fashioned publicity on the shiny new Rise & Shine website and right here in our digital newsletter....

There’s a lot of launch activity to announce this issue and we find nothing lifts our spirits like a freshly turned-over “Open” sign. Which is good because the road to recovery was always going to be a long and winding one rather a quick route back to where we used to be, as the latest steady but mixed sales figures for pubs and restaurants show. Any business opening or reopening post-lockdown should be congratulated. We’ll do all we can to support your venture in Rise & Shine....
