Decision (including reasons if

This was an application for a variation of the premises
licence within the West End stress
area. The existing premises
licence permitted takeaway of hot food
and drink until 03:00 Monday to Sunday.
The Applicant additionally sought on and off sales of alcohol from
10:00 to 23:30 Monday to Thursday, 10:00 to midnight Friday and
Saturday and midday to 22:30 Sunday which are the hours set out as

mill’ pizza slice takeaway that was seen frequently in
Leicester Square and the surrounding area. She added that only the finest ingredients were
used for the pizza which includes Mulino Marino flour.
Other Italian dishes were provided including lasagne, melitzanes and arancini. There was a
weekly, innovative menu and over the three months Il Fornetto had been open it had received good
reviews. Ms Bo-Eun Jung stated that Time Out had described the
premises as having the best pizza in the area. She made the point that this was not the type of
place that would attract large crowds after a late night of
drinking. Customers seek out the
premises because they want good ...
