A BBPA spokesperson said: “Publicans will be disappointed that inflation has risen for the second month in a row, especially after the Budget which has dramatically increased the cost of doing business.
“If pubs are to keep their doors open it is imperative that the Government delivers permanent and meaningful reductions to business rates, as our sector is hugely burdened with punishing costs and taxes.
“We look forward to working with the Government to bring forward these urgent changes in the New Year.”
