ANNEX 2 - CONDITIONS CONSISTENT WITH THE OPERATING SCHEDULE
General
The Toby Carvery, Carlisle is part of and operated by Mitchells & Butlers Group (MAB). MAB own and operate over 2000 seperately managed business within the United Kingdom.
Managers are employed by the company and operate under the direction and procedures of the company. We adopt a corporate approach to risk management across the whole estate. This ensures a consistent approach to the managment of risk in each of our businesses through a range of policies, procedures and roles. This approach is fundamental to our operating principles and is integrated into the way we run our businesses. We refer to the attached document "Mitchells & Butler - A Guide to our Policies". This document, which does not form part of this operating schedule, demonstrates our total commitment to best practice policies, enforced and monitored at this site. It is not possible to submit such policies as potential conditions as they are obviously subject to other legislation, corporate responsibilty consideration and market conditions, and therefore liable to change from time to time.
We train our staff in the standards required by the relevant legislation set out in the MAB guide referred to above.
Our voluntary closure policy for the operation is 30 minutes after the approved closure time for the supply of alcohol.
The prevention of crime and disorder
The pub manager is required to actively participate in and support the local Pubwatch scheme.
Toughened glass will be used during hours of operation.
CCTV system will be installed inside the premises.
In line with our Alcohol and Social Responsibility Policy there will be no promotions to encourage illegal, irresponsible or immoderate consumption.
Public safety
We understand our obligations under existing health and safety legislation, take our responsibilities seriously and have extensive policies and practices in place to meet these obligations (see "Guide to our policies").
It is our opinion that the nature of the operation and the proposed grant will not lead to any increased risk of the public safety. Our corporate policies which are implemented in all businesses will be operational at this unit. Our internal health and safety due diligence and incident reporting system will be enforced.
The prevention of public nuisance
Reasonable steps are taken to recognise the rights of local residents and to encourage customers to leave the premises quietly. Signs will be posted to this effect. Managers are required to liaise with local neighbours as part of their duties and resolve any reasonable concerns in accordance with our Role in the Community Guidelines.
The protection of children from harm
We recognise the importance of protection of children from harm and this is supported by:
our commitment to health and safety in the operation and maintenance of the premises.
our approach to managing the risk of under-age drinking.
We will at all times obsereve the law and ensure that alcohol is not served to people who are under 18 years of age. The manager and staff are briefed in the importance of their responsibilities in ensuring customers are over 18.
This site operates the companies own innovative scheme named "Challenge 21" which requires staff to challenge anyone who does not look over 21+ to produce ID. Signage for this policy is in place at this site. No adult entertainment (paid for by the company of a nude physical nature) is permitted at these premises. Any children under 16 remain the responsibility of the accompanying adult when using the premises (and/or exterior area). Staff are not allowed to be in sole supervision of children, which remains the responsibility of the accompanying adult at all times.
