The Sub-Committee had before it an application for a variation of a premises licence for a Premises currently operating as a theatre with regulated entertainment in the basement and ground floor together with ancillary bar and restaurant facilities. The Applicant was seeking to change the layout of the premises as detailed in the proposed plans to create a green room, the capacity of which would be restricted to no more than 25 persons (excluding staff) at any time.

Alcohol can only be supplied on the ground floor after core hours if it is anciallry to a table meal, apart from sales to patrons of the theatre, staff and performers employed at the theatre (and their bona fide guests) and registered friends of the theatre and their bona fide guests.
