Dear REDACTED

Thank you for your recent email and information regarding the application to review the premises licence for Tony’s Food and Wine, TW18 4PA.

As the responsible authority under the licencing act in regard to the objective Protection of Children from Harm; we have considered the information provided and support the request for the review of the premises licence of the above-mentioned premises due to the safeguarding concerns raised. It is expected that all premises holders run their businesses in accordance with the Surrey CC guidance to fulfil the objective of the Licensing Act.

The statements provided within the review pack, indicates that the licence holder is not complying with the objective to ensure that age verification procedures relating to age restricted sales are in place to prevent children acquiring or consuming age restricted products. This is clearly evidenced by the failed test purchase case made in August 2025 where alcohol was sold to a child.

It is our view that the licence holder has failed in their responsibility to uphold the licensing objective to act to protect children from harm. We support your request to review the premises licence.

Please do come back to me if you require anything further.
