Manorview freezes price and raises wages across hospitality venues

Manorview, which owns a collection of eleven hospitality venues in central Scotland, including local restaurants and bars such as The Lowland at Lynnhurst Hotel in Johnstone, The Commercial in Wishaw, and The Torrance in East Kilbride, has made a commitment to increase wages across the business while also freezing prices in their bars and restaurants.

Manorview will increase its employees wages to the new living wage rate by November 28. Those on a higher hourly rate will also receive a raise. Teams who are on salaries will also receive a wage increase at the same time.

The price freeze will apply to all nine of the restaurants and bars the group operate throughout central Scotland, and Manorview have committed to freezing them for as long as they can afford to.

David Tracey, managing director of Manorview, said: “In these situations, it can be challenging to identify the ways that you can make a difference. The reality is we can’t influence rising energy costs, and we can’t lower fuel costs, but what we can do is look after our team and ensure our customers can continue to enjoy our venues without costs rising there too.

“Not only are our customers the lifeblood of our business, socialising is such a key part of people’s wellbeing. So, we wanted to play our part by freezing the prices so that we weren’t making it more expensive for customers to enjoy our restaurants and bars.”

Carlton Graham, Manorview’s operations director, added: “Our customers should know that when they eat and drink with us, they are contributing to something bigger. They are making it possible for us to pay the Living Wage and increase our team’s pay across the business. In this economy that’s no mean feat, and we are very grateful to our fantastic, loyal customers.”
