Services Laceys can help with include;

Alcohol Licences

Navigating alcohol licensing regulations can be overwhelming for bar owners, restaurant managers, hotel owners, and festival organisers due to their constant evolution. We provide comprehensive support for alcohol licensing, including application preparation, compliance and legal advice, handling objections and appeals, and ongoing support for renewals.

Entertainment Licences

Whether you’re a nightclub owner, festival planner, or sports event host, understanding the legal intricacies of entertainment licences is crucial. Our team will guide you through the entire process, from the initial application to maintaining compliance, so you can focus on delivering an unforgettable event.

Event Licensing

Organising an event involves numerous legal considerations. We specialise in the licensing of large-scale outdoor events such as music festivals, game fairs, and events at stately homes. Our expert team ensures you have all the necessary licences to run your event smoothly, including alcohol, live and recorded music, and late-night refreshment licenses.

Late-Night Food Licensing

Running a late-night refreshment service? Whether you’re a takeaway, restaurant, mobile unit, or stall, you need a specific license to serve hot food and drinks between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. We simplify the process, helping you apply for new licences, extend existing ones, and defend against enforcement actions.

At Laceys, we offer a “one-stop” service that covers all your licensing needs, along with risk assessments and compliance with regulatory requirements. Should any issues arise, we provide emergency and out-of-hours support whenever necessary.
