Budget pub chain applies for licence at Waterfront

BUDGET pub chain JD Wetherspoon has applied to open its first bar in Jersey.

In what is likely to be a major development in the Island’s drinks industry, the chain – famed for its cheap alcohol and low-cost meals – is planning to open on the site of the disused Chicago Rock café on The Waterfront.

The Watford-based company, which has more than 800 bars across Britain, has submitted a licensing application to the Royal Court. Its plans will also be debated at a Parish Assembly at the Town Hall at 7.30 pm tomorrow (from JEP)
