World Famous Scarborough Chippy Wants Drink & Music Licence

A ‘world-famous’ fish and chips shop in Scarborough has applied for a premises licence from the council.

​The award-winning Tunny Club at East Sandgate in Scarborough’s South Bay is seeking permission to sell alcohol and play live and recorded music.

​Nicholas Hartley’s application to North Yorkshire Council proposes various licensable activities seven days a week.

​If the scheme is given the green light, the retail sale of alcohol would be permitted from 10am to 10pm.

​The exhibition of films would also be permitted from Monday to Sunday, as would playing live and recorded music.

​The fish and chips establishment has received praise for the quality and freshness of its food in national and regional publications and newspapers, including The Times.

​Tunny Club caters to children and welcomes dogs, as well as boasting a lengthy list of celebrity clientele, according to its owners, including David Niven, John Wayne, Errol Flynn, and Charles Laughton.

​According to its website:

“Whilst inside you’ll learn about Scarborough’s unique game fishing history.

​“On a sunny day, why not eat alfresco on our garden terrace. It’s the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of busy Sandside.”

​The establishment’s licence application is open to public representations until Friday, December 19.

​Anyone wishing to make representations regarding the application should give notice in writing to: North Yorkshire Council, Licensing Services, Town Hall, St Nicholas Street, Scarborough, YO11 2HG or by email to licensing.east@northyorks.gov.uk.
