00:00Thank you very much.

00:22The hospitality sector employs 3.5 million people across the UK, making it the nation's

00:28third largest employer. It also brings in £93 million to the economy every year. It

00:36is both a vital and a vibrant part of the communities that our National World Title

00:41serve, and that is why we've decided to dedicate September as a special Food and Drink

00:46Month.

00:48We have a long-standing commitment to supporting our local businesses, but we also know when

00:52it comes to food and drink, it's a subject that you love to read about.

00:56We delight in telling you about the new openings, the new looks, the new menus and any other

01:01new initiatives and the people behind them. We also know that we won't be short of responses

01:06when we come to you to say, where would you go for a drink on a sunny summer afternoon?

01:11Where would you recommend for a Sunday roast? Or where would you normally go out to get

01:15your fish and chips supper? And we also look back nostalgically together at the cafes,

01:20the pubs, the restaurants that we used to go to, but are no longer there.

01:25So we dedicate a lot of time throughout the year to supporting the hospitality sector,

01:29but in September we're going to do even more to celebrate the food and drink scenes

01:34in our communities. And our initiative is backed by the UK Hospitality Trade Body.

01:41So please keep coming back to this website throughout the month to find out what wonderful

01:45food and drink is on the menu where you live.
