3 stories · 1 council

Lewisham's Licensing Sub Committee D recently granted an alcohol licence to Fields Cafe and imposed new conditions on House of Flavours' licence.

In August 2026, Lewisham's Licensing Sub Committee D granted an alcohol licence to Fields Cafe, allowing it to sell alcohol with food, despite public concerns about potential public nuisance and the protection of children. The committee resolved to grant the licence as applied for, subject to agreed conditions.

This followed the committee's decision in July 2026 to add new conditions to the premises licence for House of Flavours. This action was taken after numerous resident complaints about issues including noise disturbance and anti-social behaviour, with conditions including the production of a written event management plan.
