Placing furniture and signs on the pavement outside of your restaurant, pub or café can make your premises more noticeable and inviting to customers.
However, before doing so you should make sure you have in place the correct permissions and licences to avoid unwanted attention from the authorities, as placing your furniture on the public highway without permission can lead to heavy fines. This area of law is complicated and the process varies from council to council.
Our expert licensing team have a well earned reputation in applying for tables and chairs licences (also known as pavement or street trading licences) for premises that wish to expand their operation by offering external seating outside of their pub or restaurant on the public highway. Every local authority has a different policy and process but our team has extensive experience of successfully obtaining licences nationwide and will be able to help and guide you through this complex process.
Once granted, this type of licence does not last indefinitely and requires renewal usually every 6 or 12 months.
