It's a hefty price rise - but they need it to stay afloat
Mr Henderson is proud to put on three gigs a week, including free events, pay musicians and engineers, maintain a no-minimum-spend policy and use local suppliers. But now he needs something back.He said: “With hindsight we should have increased prices incrementally. I thought it would sort itself out but it seems the price of energy, petrol and supplies aren’t coming down. I’m really worried we might not make it through the winter.
The area is surrounded by large offices employing an estimated 6,000 workers but Richard estimates only 20 per cent are back in full time - hitting lunchtime trade. But having hospitality firms at the Quays helps other local businesses recruit, he believes. The Dorothy Pax is well regarded - it was CAMRA’s Sheffield pub of the month in September. It is used by the boating community as a ‘post office’ and it runs ‘wet desking’, offering workers free wi-fi.
Richard added: “I’m hoping to trade through this situation. This area is the best it’s been, we have the new Pollen market nearby and the Grey to Green planting scheme and Castlegate is being redeveloped. But hospitality remains incredibly important. “Victoria Quays is sometimes called the Sheffield Riviera. It is a great community asset, it’s safe and clean. But there’s a risk it could go back to being a derelict, under-used space.
Richard Henderson, of the Dorothy Pax, says a price increase comes after costs were absorbed for a ‘long, long time’.
