Quote from The Sun, money: The owner of Harvester, All Bar One and Toby Carvery has axed 1,300 jobs following the coronavirus crisis.
Pub operator Mitchells and Butlers said it could no longer support these roles due to lockdown restrictions on boozers across the country.
Revealing its annual results today, Mitchells and Butlers swung into the red as it slumped to a £123million annual loss for the year.
The pub chain employs 44,000 people in around 1,700 restaurants.
The announcement comes as Harvester, All Bar One and Toby Carvery branches remain temporarily closed across England due to the on-going four-week lockdown.

I hope our local Toby doesn't have redundancies. Neil and the team have made the place as covid resistant as it's posible for a bar/restaraunt with table service, screens, hand sanitiser stations and full spacing.
Locally (except Brighton) the infection rate is below 80 per 100,000 per week and falling so hopefully we'll be in Tier 1 as before the lockdown. So hopefully when things open up going for a pint (only) will be back on the menu.
Quote:
Mitchells and Butlers said 99% of its workforce was furloughed during lockdown earlier this year.
The redundancy announcement adds to a growing number of job cuts made by pub chains in recent months.
Wetherspoon is cutting up to 450 jobs from six pubs in airports, while Revolutions Bars said it will shut six sites.
Greene King is also axing 800 jobs and closing 79 pubs, and Marston's said 2,150 staff were at risk of being made redundant or facing fewer hours.

Many favourite pubs and bars will be no more when this is over.
