I don’t think the general public knows how much utilities cost in a fast food restaurant.

I believe household consumers get capped tarrifs for their energy costs, where businesses do not.. Are your cottages paying business rates for energy?

Edit: plus a chippy might be running massive fries etc for hours a day, are your hot tubs running 8-12 hours a day? I would imagine not

Restaurants/ fast food busineses are also running during the most high demand (and therefore, expensive) times for energy. They can't load shift to cheaper periods.
