South Downs fish and chip shop in bid to sell alcohol

The Storrington Fish Co in Mill Lane, Storrington, is currently seek a premises license from Horsham District Council.

Shop owner Russell Bright, in a statement to the council, says that customers frequently ask if they can buy alcohol when they collect their meals.

"We are continually asked for refreshments along with our food,” he said, “and it is often a disappointment to our clients when we cannot offer the facility to purchase an alcoholic beverage that they have to leave the shop to purchase elsewhere.”

He said the shop’s opening hours were restricted at lunchtime from 12noon to 2pm and in the evenings from 4.45pm to 9pm, five days a week.
