Restaurateurs need to be Brexit 'positive'
The restaurateur Marcus Wareing says he voted Remain in the EU referendum and was shocked by the Brexit win but now takes a much more positive view on leaving the European Union.
But he told Hardtalk's Stephen Sackur that Brexit meant Britain having to potentially build its own future.
He said: "There is a really interesting twist to not having more of the European community coming to the UK to work and that is that we Brits have got to get out of bed and work maybe a little bit harder. I think it is going to make us better employers."
A recent survey by the British Hospitality Association said EU workers make up a quarter of the three million working in hospitality. Some restaurateurs have raised concerns about losing workers.
