Alcohol in licensed pavement areas
Applies to England and Wales
Consultation description
Businesses such as pubs and restaurants are licensed to sell alcohol for customers to drink on the premises (‘on-sales’).
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the government passed regulations allowing them to sell alcohol for takeaway, delivery and to drink in licensed pavement areas (‘off-sales’), without changing their licence.
The regulations expire on 31 March 2025. This consultation sets out permanent options for alcohol licensing after this date.
