A new indepedent cafe in Ryde on the Isle of Wight promises to be ‘high quality’ and ‘food-led’.
BrewsandHops has lodged a premises licence application with the Isle of Wight Council for Pier View Brews at 2 Union Street in Ryde.
The proposal
Proposed opening hours are between 7am and 10pm from Monday to Sunday.
BrewsandHops’s application form says,
“The business will offer a variety of hot and cold beverages, including speciality coffee sourced from the outskirts of Winchester and loose-leaf teas based in the New Forest, alongside an extensive food menu featuring two handed deep filled sandwiches, house-made sweet pies and tray bakes catering to all dietary requirements.
“In the evenings (Friday and Saturday) the premises will offer a curated, bespoke experience featuring an exclusive selection of imported Belgium and German beers, locally sourced craft beer, cider and old-style bar tankard cocktails.
“To accompany these, we will be offering a wide variety of snack flights as well as savoury picky bits and evening tray bakes to keep in appearance with the cafe.”
A quiet, seated environment
The operation will be ‘strictly seated’, with full table service provided at all times, ensuring a ‘quiet, relaxed’ environment.
Licensing conditions
Steps to be taken to promote licensing objectives include the Challenge 25 scheme, a zero-tolerance policy regarding anti-social behaviour and controlled dispersal.
