New Whitby Restaurant Bar Requests Late Licence

A former Whitby bank undergoing conversion to a restaurant and bar has applied for a premises licence from 8am to 3am at weekends.

​The Treasury, at 4 Baxtergate, Whitby, has applied for a premises licence after recently getting the green light for its conversion to a bar, restaurant, and holiday lets.

​The Grade-II listed former HSBC bank was built in 1891 and has been given a new lease of life by local businessman and lifeboat crew member Ali Hussain.

​The premises licence application submitted to North Yorkshire Council requests permission for the supply of alcohol and for playing music.

​If the application is granted, live and recorded music could be played on Fridays and Saturdays from 11pm to 3am.

​The supply of alcohol would be permitted from Sunday to Thursday from 8am to 11pm, and Friday to Saturday from 8am to 3am.

​The deadline for representations regarding the premises licence application is Thursday, November 13.

​According to previously submitted plans, the renovation will include a floating mezzanine floor constructed within the former banking hall, which has a vaulted ceiling with ornate plaster mouldings.

​The bank’s former strong room is also set to become a holding kitchen and cellar.

​According to The Treasury’s website, its “exclusive first-floor dining area will feature a rooftop balcony overlooking the River Esk and the heart of Whitby”.

​Several job openings are also currently being advertised at the business, including general manager, restaurant manager, chef, and front of house team.

​North Yorkshire Council said that anyone wishing to make representations regarding the premises licence application should write to: North Yorkshire Council, Licensing Services, Town Hall, St Nicholas Street, Scarborough, YO11 2HG or by email to licensing.sca@northyorks.gov.uk.
