Pubs in England und Wales stehen im April vor einer massiven Erhöhung der Geschäftstarife. 75 % erwägen eine Erhöhung ihres steuerpflichtigen Wertes – einige um 500 % und mehr.
Die Regierung hat eine mögliche Kehrtwende signalisiert, aber noch ist nichts bestätigt.
Also habe ich gebaut ismypubfucked.com
Es verwendet offizielle VOA-Daten für 43.000 Pubs, um zu zeigen, was jedem einzelnen bevorsteht. Geben Sie Ihre Postleitzahl ein und es findet den Pub in Ihrer Nähe, der Ihre Unterstützung am meisten benötigt (mithilfe des sehr wissenschaftlichen Fucked Pub Index™).
Sie können auch:
– Durchsuchen Sie die Karte mit allen 43.000 Pubs, farblich gekennzeichnet, je nachdem, wie beschissen sie sind
– Sehen Sie sich die Bestenliste der am meisten beschissenen Pubs des Landes an
Einige dieser Erhöhungen sind brutal.
Das ist keine politische Sache. Kneipen sind Gemeinschaftsräume und stehen unter Druck von allen Seiten. Wenn bei Ihnen ein großer Anstieg bevorsteht, besuchen Sie uns vielleicht dieses Wochenende. Kaufen Sie ein Pint. Unterhalten Sie sich.
Würde gerne wissen, was Sie denken!
I built a site to check if your local pub is fucked (75% are facing rate hikes in April)

The first 2 I looked at which are apparently in trouble closed years ago, one of them I know has been closed since covid. Others which have been around for decades don’t exist at all on the map.
Interesting and scary the increases my local pubs are facing.
> Pubs in England and Wales are facing a massive hike in business rates this April.
Aren’t they just losing the tax relief that was introduced during the pandemic?
We can’t seriously be talking about continuing with central government using tax revenue to pay the business rates of these failing businesses?
Funny that the three pubs I go to the most aren’t on this map at all. I assume that means they’re fine
I searched in my area – quite a few pubs are missing from the map, but honestly, they’re mostly green with some yellows around here. There was 1 red, but it closed years ago.
I’m in the valleys in South Wales.
The ‚most fucked‘ the tool gave me is only in the ‚Fucked‘ category, but it’s 7 miles away in the next valley, almost a 20 minute drive away.
Is this actually a massive issue? Maybe just something suffered by pubs in affluent areas or cities maybe?
I was 90% sure the site was just going to say „YES“ in big letters
The closest to me is listed at 100% „Totally Fucked“ with a rate increase predicted of 515% to 46K.
It’s a lovely little pub used in a few TV shows and mostly does business in the Summer as the outside space is much nicer. Indoors is old and small and quaint and most evenings just a dozen or so regulars. I can’t see them surviving and it would be quite the loss.
Was gonna say, my local would have been fucked, but it already closed the door last year after 230 years… Seeing it boarded up and sprayed over is a sorry sight.
Thanks that was interesting.
My local’s rateable value is going down by 9%, so I’ll be asking him why he’s put the prices up next year 😆
i like this..thanks for putting the effort in, fingers crossed the mafia make the U turn
I love this. And it’s a great initiative. Pubs are excellent community spaces. I want them to continue.
But we have to accept that people don’t go to pubs so much anymore because it’s too expensive. Yes, I’ll understand the prices rises aren’t unilaterally raised by the pubs themselves.
Nevertheless it used to be that you could go the pub without really thinking about it – pop in for a pint or two, maybe have a burger. Those days are over. So if normal, average, bog standars people can’t afford to drop in have a pint, then the whole model needs change.
„Young people aren’t drinking anymore“ – they simply can’t afford to.
The nearest pub to be that has the highest rating is the most overpriced, „Gastro“ pub in the area. the others getting a 16% increase are student pubs, mixed, or real ale pubs.
With the changes of drink drive limits and younger people preferring gummies over alcohol I think most pubs are doomed. Especially those that have not introduced restaurants.
Checked my town, nearly all the places listed are long gone and some aren’t listed at all.
How many of these pubs were operating under discounted rates that were put in place during the pandemic but failed to account for the discount expiring?
Not going to have any sympathy for any of those
Remember when we could afford to drink at pubs? My dad used to knock over 3 or 4 pints pretty much every night at the pub. That’d be well over a hundred quid a week at today’s prices.
It is a shame to watch the continued death of the pub. Like everything else, the public are being squeezed for every last penny in the name of profits.
