For Independent Venues
A warm invitation to join The Fellows Collective
Independent pubs, bars, cafes and restaurants are the heart of our towns and villages ~~~ but running them has never been harder.
The Fellows Collective exists to stand alongside you.
We bring independent hospitality venues together to create collective buying power, giving you access to fairer pricing, trusted suppliers and practical support ~~~ with out taking away your independence.
By joining the Collective, you remain fully in control of your business, while benefiting from:
* Improved purchasing terms through collective volume
* Access to carefully selected suppliers who value independents
* A simple, transparent membership structure
* Support from people who understand hospitality first-hand
There are no long tie-ins, no loss of identity and no pressure to use suppliers that don't suit your venue. The Collective works for you ~~~ not the other way around.
We believe that when independent venues work together, they become stronger, more resilient and better placed to thrive in challenging times.
Whether you're a traditional pub, a small café, a village inn or an independent restaurant, You're welcome at the table.
Together , we buy better. Together, we protect what matters.
For The Public
Why supporting Fellows Collective venues matter
Local pubs, cafes and restaurants are more than places to eat and drink ~~~ they are meeting points, employers and cornerstones for our communities.
When you choose to visit a venue that is part of The Fellows Collective, you are doing more than enjoying good food and drink ~~~ you are actively supporting independent local businesses.
The Collective helps venues reduce costs and operate more sustainably, which means:
* More money stays in the local economy
* Independent venues are better protected from rising costs
* Local jobs and skills are supported
* Communities remain vibrant and connected
Many Fellows Collective venues reinvest their savings into better service, local suppliers, community events and improved facilities ~~~ benefits that everyone can enjoy.
By choosing independent venues over national chains, you help preserve the character of towns and villages across the UK.
Strong local venues create strong communities.
So next time you're deciding where to meet friends, celebrate an occasion or enjoy a quiet drink ~~~ look for a Fellows Collective Venue and know that your choice is making a real difference.
Support local. Support independence. Support your community.
