A notice has appeared in the windows of the office on the corner of the High Street and the A30. It’s in the name of Fat Ox Prime, and it states that an application has been made for the supply of alcohol.
We say that Fat Ox Prime is a retailer of food as well as drink. That’s a deduction on our part. The application isn’t available on the council’s website (maybe it’ll appear at some point…), so we’ve had to do some digging. We’ve concluded that Fat Ox Prime is an Italian supplier of meat and meat products – but whether this implies a restaurant or ‘just’ a shop, we’re not sure.
We guess it’s early days; presumably there’ll have to be an application for a change of use, and we’ve not encountered one yet.
Be good if it’s a butcher who also sells a few bottles.
Which comes first?
Have you noticed that the taxi advertising sign is still chained to a post next to the phone box? Could have removed this on their exit…
No doubt it’s not in anyone’s contract. What if someone was injured removing it? Think of the liability consequences. No, it’ll just have to stay for ever!
