The Fish Shack and Deli Shack at 56 Morrish Road has applied for a premises licence in order to sell alcohol 12 noon to 1am each day. The bar and restaurant is listed as closing at 1.30am every day.

A previous venue at this location, Serenity Bar, had its licence revoked due to disturbance to residents and there have been ongoing reports of anti-social behaviour in the road.

The deadline for representations has been extended to 17 May due to a failure to properly display the licensing notice. Written representations can be made by emailing licensing@lambeth.gov.uk quoting the venue’s address and addressing at least one of the four licensing objectives.

Lambeth Council team dealing with noise and enforcement has made an application to review the licence of Serenity Wine Bar & Restaurant, where there have been several complaints regarding loud music and gathering of patrons outside late at night. Despite meetings organised and warning letters sent, the managers have failed to engage in any way with the Council and residents have continued to complain.

The enforcement team has therefore made an application to amend the licence of the bar to mean that only background music may be played; the hours will be restricted to 11pm every night; late night refreshment will not be allowed; and should any event licences be granted it will be with strict safeguards.

The review will go to Licensing Sub-Committee in the new year. Residents have until 12 January to make their views known. Comments can be emailed to licensing@lambeth.gov.uk and should address the ‘licensing objectives’ – preventing crime & disorder; public safety; prevention of public nuisance; and protecting children from harm. Full details of the review will appear here soon.
