A staffing crisis in the hospitality industry is inevitable as a result of the Brexit vote, according to an industry association.

Some 75% of waiters and 25% of chefs working in the UK come from other EU nations. The British Hospitality Association recently wrote to the immigration minister about its fears and said in a report that without future EU migration the sector faces major problems.

Government plans to help find an army of British baristas, waitresses and chefs to replace EU workers have been criticised after it emerged they will not be introduced until 2022.

We would like people – both from the UK and other EU countries – who work in the industry to share their thoughts on how Brexit might affect their industry or work. If you are from another EU nation, have you thought about leaving the UK or do you worry you may be forced to leave?
