Reasons for Losing a Pub’s License
A pub can lose its license for a few reasons:
- Serving alcohol to people under the legal drinking age of 18 in the UK. This is a serious offense.
- Selling alcohol outside permitted licensing hours detailed in the pub’s license.
- Violating noise regulations.
- Breaching fire safety regulations shows the pub is risking patron and staff safety.
- Selling alcohol without a valid license.
Maintaining a liquor license is crucial, but can be lost easily if laws and regulations around the sale of alcohol are not strictly followed.
