B&B Alcohol licence

Lauraash · 2012-06-19 12:58:45

I am in the process of setting up a B&B and was wondering is there any possibility of selling alcohol solely to the guests?? would I require a licence or what are the restrictions??

In short, no. possible but prohibitively expensive.

Your public liability costs will skyrocket once alcohol is served on the premises.
Also in my own experience people who stay in B&Bs want to go out to a local pub/restaurant, not stay in drinking.

Sounds like a terrible idea tbh.
If your guests actually want alcohol they can bring their own. No point in trying make a separate income stream for something 99% of people don't expect, especially considering licensing and insurance costs.
