Understand when a licence is relevant, where to apply and which documents to collect. RestaurantBevilling then helps you prepare the information that fits your case.
Businesses serving drinks containing at least 2.8% alcohol for consumption on the premises generally need an alcohol licence. This includes cafés, bars, nightclubs and other venues. Selling sealed bottles for consumption elsewhere is a different situation; a one-off event may require an event permit.
Send the application to the relevant police district. The municipal council or licensing board makes the decision following the police recommendation. Licences are normally issued for eight years, but may be limited to four or two. Processing time depends on the authority and case.
Use the official form for individuals or for companies and associations. Attachments depend on the legal form, finances and operation. Check the current official form.
Applying to the authorities is free. RestaurantBevilling charges for assistance preparing the documentation and, where managed filing is selected and agreed, submission under written authorisation. Start free; the service price is shown before payment.
Confirmed basic information is reused in the relevant forms and budgets. See document requirements and missing information together, then review the material before it is signed and submitted.
