Ottolenghi: 'Restaurants need rent-free period to survive’

Restauranteur and food writer Yotam Ottolenghi has told ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 5 Live restaurants need a β€œrent-free period” in order to survive after lockdown is lifted.

Speaking to Emma Barnett, Yotam said he feels β€œconfident” that the UK government will help the restaurant industry with rent freezes once they are allowed to open but still have to enforce social distancing between customers.
