Chef Gary Usher has revealed the Government’s Plan B announcement is having a “devastating” impact on restaurants.
He posted on Twitter: “Can’t lie last night’s plan B news is devastating for my industry.
“I’m trying to think of positive things to say about getting through December but I don’t have anything.
“On an absolute downer about this.
“Telling people to work from home has instantly ripped up Christmas reservations.”

He said he has had “hundreds and hundreds of cancellations” across his restaurant group.
“At Elite Bistros we’ve done everything by the book with Covid and tried to do the right thing constantly closing the restaurants and following guidelines but personally I don’t now support plan B because I don’t respect or trust anyone making the decisions.”
Gary said he believes the hospitality industry has been “shafted”.
The Government clarified, however, that Christmas parties don’t need to be cancelled under the new rules.
Boris Johnson’s spokesman confirmed this.
“The Prime Minister has been very clear on this.
“On Christmas parties, we don’t want people to cancel such events.”
