An Ealing pub has lost its license following a review by the Ealing Council Licensing Committee. The decision, part of a series of licensing sub-committee actions between April and June 2025, highlights the council's commitment to upholding the Licensing Act 2003, which regulates the sale of alcohol, regulated entertainment, and late-night refreshment.
The specific pub was not named in the provided documents, but the Licensing Committe Report 25 June 2025 - Hearing Update TENs.pdf details other recent licensing decisions. Little Ealing Convenience, located at 2a The Quadrant, Little Ealing Lane, Ealing W5 4EE, had its license revoked. Costcutter T/a Best Foods, 512-516 Lady Margaret Road Southall, UB1 2NP, had conditions imposed on its license. New premises licenses were refused for Bocian Supermarket 130 - 132 Uxbridge Road Hanwell W7 3SL and A Star Retail 10 King Street Southall, UB2 4DA. Casa, 165 Dukes Road, Acton, W3 0SL, was granted a new premises license with additional conditions.
The Licensing Committee, including Councillor Munir Ahmed (Chair) and Councillor Rima Baaklini (Vice-Chair), also received an update on temporary event notices (TENs). These notices are commonly used for small-scale events like community festivals and private parties. The report noted that a TEN must be submitted at least 10 clear working days before the event. According to the report, 75.6% of TENs submitted during the 2024-25 financial year were for premises already licensed.
At the meeting, the committee approved the minutes from the previous meeting held on 29 April 2025. At that meeting, Joe Blanchard, Head of Environmental Health and Trading Standards, presented a report summarizing licensing activity over the previous financial year. He noted a 20% increase in premises license applications compared to the previous year. Joe Blanchard also mentioned that a new licensing policy was scheduled to come into effect in July, with one of the key changes being the redrawing of the special policy areas, with the Ealing and Hanwell zones being joined together to form a single West Ealing corridor.
