A pub that sold alcohol to minors four times in 10 years has been granted a renewed liquor licence, despite legislation calling for a “vigorous approach” in such situations.
The Te Aute Hotel near Hastings was caught selling alcohol to minors aged 16 and 17 on March 11 last year as part of a controlled purchase operation by the Hawke’s Bay DHB and the Hastings District Licensing Inspector.
The volunteers were sold two bottles of Smirnoff Black Ice RTDs containing 7 per cent alcohol. Neither was asked for proof of age.
It was the fourth time the pub had been caught selling to minors. The other occasions were in August 2013, June 2011 and January 2007. The first two misdemeanours were punished with a 24 hour suspension of the pub’s licence. In 2013, it was suspended for a week.
