“The hall is also a stone’s throw away from Boughton Golf Course and we have the capability to incorporate golf or accommodation. We can also serve food from the Korean Cowgirl at The Barn Hall.”

An industry on the up

The hospitality industry has been described as a sector that often doesn’t get the credit and - according to some people - government-backing that it deserves.

Once perceived as a low-paid, low-skilled and career-limiting option for young people, today the prospects in the hospitality trade are far healthier particularly in the high-end sector.

Experts from the hospitality industry say the hospitality trade has made significant progress in terms of opportunity, innovation and investment.

Today’s figures show that the sector represents 10% of UK employment, 5% of GDP, 6% of businesses and also creates one in eight of all jobs across the country.
