Will restaurants with a special hours certificate need to include late night refreshment in their premises licences as a separate licensed activity?
Yes. There will be no equivalent of a special hours certificate under the Act. A restaurant owner will need to apply for a premises licence to replace the existing permission from the magistrates. This will allow a premise to provide or continue to provide, alcohol with meals, and, depending on their preferred hours of opening, to provide hot food or hot drink between 11pm and 5am.
