hi all im in the process of opening a music venue/cafe and in the area im in ( west dunbartonshire ) its hard to get a alcohol licence due to a policy they have so i have been looking into a bring your own bottle policy for the venue at set times
customers that were having a meal or at a music gig would be allowed to bring there own alcohol to the venue and from what i have found this would not require a licence as i would not be selling or supplying alcohol is this correct ?
if above is correct i would want to do one of two things to make sure noone drinks to much and causes problems in the venue or outwith
option 1 :- Guests would be welcome to bring your own alcohol for small corkage charge which covers the provision of appropriate glasses, ice buckets and refrigeration. charges would be per bottle or can and spirits would not be allowed
option 2 :- each customer would be limited to a max amount of alcohol to bring into the venue there would be no extra charge but spirits would not be allowed
would the above change the not needing a licence for the venue
all of this is just a idea for the venue as i know its done in other places in the uk and the above would only happen on set nights where it would be a strict over 18 with a challenge 25 policy
can anyone give me any advice on this ?
