Ed Sheeran's Bertie Blossoms faces mounting debt amid UK pub crisis Ed Sheeran's trendy Notting Hill restaurant, Bertie Blossoms, has become the latest casualty of Britain's ongoing pub crisis, with its debt rising to nearly £1.3 million. The restaurant, which opened in 2019, has failed to turn a profit and has struggled with the financial impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The business's financial statement for December 2024 revealed net liabilities of £1.3 million, marking a decline of £763,000 since 2021. Despite this, Sheeran remained committed to his staff, forgoing furloughs and paying their wages out of his own pocket during the pandemic. The venue, located on Portobello Road in West London, was designed to be a chic dining experience but has received mixed reviews from customers, with some criticising the £19 dishes as subpar. As pubs across the UK continue to close at an alarming rate, political party Reform UK has proposed a plan to save the hospitality sector, including a reduction in VAT and cuts to beer duty. However, many are questioning whether such measures will be enough to rescue struggling businesses like Bertie Blossoms.
