Annex 2 - Conditions consistent with the Operating Schedule
General
I am applying for a premises license to sell alcohol to be served only with meals. I feel the issue of crime and disorder would be minimal as customers average stay at the café is 30 minutes.
Three fire extinguishers, a fire blanket and two means of escape are in place at the café. I do not intend to change the current opening hours or sell alcohol on its own without food. Anyone who appears to be under the age of 25 will be asked for ID.
The Prevention Of Crime & Disorder
I am intending to serve alcohol only with meals to provide a service requested by a number of customers. The cafes main sales will still be food, with perhaps a glass of wine or bottle of beer.
Public Safety
Three fire extinguishers are in existence in the café, all with maintenance contracts, and also a fire blanket. There are two means of escape and all staff are trained in procedures should a fire take place.
The Prevention Of Public Nuisance
The café closes at 15:00PM. At weekends the majority of customers are families and during the week people having a lunch break from work.
Alcohol will only be served with food.
The Protection Of Children From Harm
Anyone who looks under the age of 25 will be asked for ID and refused sale if unable to produce. Signs will be displayed to that effect and in addition staff will be given ongoing training
