Covid-19 has had a detrimental effect on all pubs, bars, restaurants and other hospitality venues in England, and continues to do so with the 22:00 closing time as of yesterday, but don’t let anything else that’s gone wrong ruin your business.

Laceys Solicitors are the only firm in Bournemouth to have a specialist licensing department and are here to help you if things go awry.

Two recent client successes have been;

• Avoiding revocation of a licence in Southampton for a premises that hosted a birthday party which ended up with over 200 attendees at a time when there was a restriction on more than 30 people gathering together – the premises were also in breach of a number of conditions on its licence.
• Securing a variation of a licence in Bristol City Centre to allow the premises to do hot food deliveries until 4 a.m. instead of midnight.

If you have been threatened with the loss of a licence, or need any further information on Licensing please contact Philip Day on p.day@laceyssolicitors.co.uk or 01202 755980 and he will be happy to help.
