Hastings restaurant’s bid for later opening hours refused

On Thursday (April 7), a Hastings Borough Council licensing panel considered an application to vary the licence of Carib De l’Afrique, an African and Caribbean restaurant at 2 York Buildings.

In the application, the restaurant’s proprietor, Adebayo Olujobi, had been seeking permission to extend the existing opening hours from midnight to 3am. It would have also allowed the business to provide regulated entertainment such as live music, films and plays at the premises.
