Sun Cafe
Hackney Council considered Sun Cafe's application to extend its alcohol and late-night refreshment hours in July 2025.
In July 2025, Hackney Council's Licensing Sub Committee D considered an application from Sun Cafe, located at 261 Mare Street, to vary its premises licence. The application sought to extend hours for late-night refreshment and alcohol service until 02:00 from Sunday to Wednesday, and until 03:00 from Thursday to Saturday.
This proposed variation would extend the current licence, which permits these activities until 23:30 daily. The Metropolitan Police and the Licensing Authority opposed the application, according to a report to the committee.
