alcohol wholesale?
8 Answers
when you own a licensed premises (e.g a club or pub, rather than a off licence) do you have to buy your alcohol from a brewery or alcohol wholesaler, or can you just get it from booker cash and carry for example? (obviously i mean bottles etc not draught)
Thanks for your help.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.its just a pub near me (not one that i want to) was caught buying his stock from sainsburys when the cheap deals were on!! He got a big fine for that. he also got closed down a bit later for letting under age folk in, but it was a bit of a dodgy spot. but i'm just wondering if there are laws dictating where you buy from, obviously like you say, if you have a contract with a brewery, then you are probabily supposed to buy off them.
you say own.....
if you own it then get whatever your want from wherever you want.
if you are just a tenant in a licensed property (such as a brewery owned pub that you are the landlord off) then you are restricted by your agreement with the real owner as to where you can buy any stock.
if you're looking at running a licensed premises or already do you really shouldn't be asking this sort of question BTW.

You can buy the alcohol from wherever you like and I've no idea why your local publican would have been fined for buying at Sainsbury's. I have several public houses as clients and have seen them buy alcohol from supermarkets from time to time when it was being sold more cheaply than the brewery would sell it.
sorry, it came across as a "first person" question.
OK you don't own it :)
the fine would have probably been from the brewery, getting closed down would have been a separate incident, but probably not helped by the fact that I doubt the brewery would back the landlord just after imposing a fine for buying unauthorised stock
