Summary of Application

 

This is a new application to replace an existing licence. The new application is on similar terms to the existing licence, but the applicants are asking for slightly longer hours as set out below. The applicant has amended the application to reduce the hours originally sought in that application for licensable activities. The information below sets out the details for both the original hours sought, the amended hours and the difference between what they have now and what they are now applying for. Essentially, they are now seeking an additional 30 minutes for all activities from Monday to Saturday.

 

The premises operate as a restaurant, but this new application is also seeking to introduce a new drink-led element for up to 25 persons until core hours. The maximum capacity for the ground floor of the premises is 120 seated customers. The applicant has provided submissions to explain why they want this facility and why, in their opinion, this element of the application can be granted as an exception to policy. If this element is granted, it will potentially allow up to 25 customers to purchase and consume alcohol at the bar area without the need to purchase any food, though the applicant asserts that they want to encourage such customers to also eat food. All customers have to be seated so there can be no vertical drinking.

Summary of Application

 

This is an application to vary the licence for this restaurant so as to increase the hours of trading in the basement until 2.30 am with all licensable activities terminating at 2 am. The details are set out below and also indicate how the granting of this application will impact on what is already permitted. The premises are fully conditioned to operate as a restaurant in accordance with policy and there are no proposed changes in relation to the sale of alcohol.

 

According to the applicant, one of the main reasons for the application is that persons attending the premises to dine take a much longer time than a normal restaurant due to the “Chinese Hot Pot” style of cuisine where customers cook their own food.

 

Residents (and up to 5 bona fide guests per resident) from the adjacent hotel within the Trocadero development (the Zedwell Hotel) already have 24-hour access to these premises, though it was pointed out at the hearing that the hotel had not yet opened.
