  Public Safety

   

  We will have a supervisor walking about at all times and a qualified first aider on site.

   

  The Prevention of Public Nuisance

   

  We have always run a very quiet bar and have had no trouble up to yet.  We have always had supervisors walking round at all times.

   

  For premises where entertainment frequently takes place, music and associated sources (including DJs, and amplified voices) should generally not be audible inside noise sensitive property at any time. Where entertainment takes place less frequently, such noise should not be audible inside noise sensitive property between 23.00 and 07.00 hours.

   

  The Protection of Children from Harm

   

  We don’t have any children in.

  (d)              consumption of the alcohol on the premises or the taking of sale or supply of alcohol to any person residing in the licensed premises;

  (e)              the ordering of alcohol to be consumed off the premises, or the despatch by the vendor of the alcohol so ordered;

  (f)              the sale of alcohol to a trader or club for the purposes of the trade or club;

  In this condition “bar” includes any place exclusively or mainly used for the consumption of intoxicating liquor.  But an area is not a bar when it is usual for it to be, and it is, set apart for the service of table meals and alcohol is only sold or supplied to persons as an ancillary to their table meals.
