🍷 Personal and Premises Licences in Chester

Selling Alcohol in Chester – Local Licensing Guide

If you're planning to sell alcohol in Chester — whether from a pub in Hoole, an off-licence in Handbridge, or fulfilling online orders from a home in Upton — you'll need two licences in place:

  • A Personal Licence – issued by the council covering your residential address

  • A Premises Licence – issued by Cheshire West and Chester Council for any address within Chester (e.g. Boughton or Vicars Cross)

All alcohol-selling premises must designate a DPS (Designated Premises Supervisor) who holds a valid Personal Licence.
To apply for a Personal Licence, you must first pass the Level 2 Award for Personal Licence Holders (APLH).
