Independent hospitality insight. No noise. Just the things that matter.
Freeoftie.com has been established by hospitality industry professionals with over 28 years of hands-on experience, both working front of house and overseeing multiple sites.
We’ve worked across both tied and free houses, so we understand the challenges, pressures and opportunities facing publicans and operators on both sides of the industry.

Our aim is simple: to bring together the news, information, advice and discussions that actually matter to you. No unnecessary noise, no hidden agendas and no taking sides. Just relevant information, presented fairly and as impartially as possible.
Our news content is AI-assisted, helping us research, compile and deliver relevant stories efficiently. However, transparency matters. We will never knowingly publish claims or factual information without providing links to the original sources, allowing you to read the information for yourself and make up your own mind.
Have something worth sharing?
Is there a topic you think we should be covering? A change in legislation, an industry issue, a business challenge or something happening locally that deserves more attention?
Get in touch. We’ll do our best to investigate and cover it. Better still, if you have an idea, experience or information that could genuinely help other people in the trade, we’d love to hear from you. We’re always open to contributions from people working across the industry.
Want to advertise with us?
We’re offering special Founders’ Advertising Rates for businesses looking to get involved from the beginning.
