Failsworth cafe One Soul applies for alcohol licence

A Failsworth cafe has applied for an alcohol licence as part of plans to expand and offer something new to the area. One Soul Cafe and Eco Store on Oldham Road wants to serve organic wines, craft beers, IPAs and cocktails alongside small plates made with fresh, organic produce.

The cafe, which currently has a maximum capacity of 30 people, is applying to Oldham Council for permission to sell alcohol both on and off the premises. The owners say alcohol will mainly be served with meals, with limited sales of sealed beer and wine for takeaway.

If approved, One Soul would serve alcohol from 12pm to 11pm Monday to Friday, 11am to 11pm on Saturdays, and 11am to 9pm on Sundays. The cafe's director told The Oldham Times the licence forms part of wider plans to enhance the venue and create a more complete experience for customers.

The business says it's committed to the four licensing objectives of preventing crime and disorder, public safety, preventing public nuisance, and protecting children from harm. The owners want to create a relaxed, welcoming environment where people from Failsworth, Oldham and surrounding areas can come together to enjoy good food and interesting drinks.
