A business owner has been forced to change his opening hours and menu due to rising costs.
Ian Brooke, who owns Brawsome Bagels, has had to change how he runs the store as the cost of ingredients increases and people spend less money on luxuries.
"I can guarantee if it starts raining sideways the custom here does drop off because we don’t offer sit-in, but then if the customer drops off we expect Deliveroo to pick up the slack and nine times out of 10 that’s what it will do. "But I do think the government could do more to support businesses, especially when you’ve got small businesses saying ‘we can’t do this anymore, we’ve got nowhere to turn’."
"We’ve brought our hours down from seven days a week to five to just do something to try and reduce what we’re spending. However, Ian still says he feels"optimistic" about the business's future, and says the challenges have allowed them to be more innovative.
