HIGH Spirits Leisure Group have joined the government's latest plan to help revive the flow of business for the hospitality industry.

Six establishments located across Cumbria, owned by the group will be joining the government's new 'Eat out to Help me' scheme.

The venues include The Flying Pig, Caffe Riva and The Arts Bar, all of which are located in Bowness-on-Windermere. The Yewdale & Enzos Caffe & Pizzeria located in Coniston will also be part of the scheme. The group's newest pub the Flying Fleece, which opened on Saturday July 4 in Ambleside will also be included.

Colin Monk, High Spirits Leisure Group CEO, said: “The new scheme from the government will be a huge boost to our economic recovery after months of uncertainty.

“We hope this early mid-week increase of customers will generate the income needed to carry us through the winter season.”
