POLICE and management have agreed measures for the pub that served a man six shots of extremely strong alcohol.

J.T. Davies, in Market Place, Banbury, had applied to stay open until as late as 3am on some days, according to an application that was due to be discussed next week.

But yesterday the pub and police agreed on terms, so a hearing will no longer be necessary.

A Cherwell District Council report noted the man had been served six shots of 75 per cent abv alcohol and was removed by police officers on the afternoon of November 13 last year.

In another incident last month, a woman was arrested for being drunk and disorderly. The Thames Valley Police report stated there appeared to be 'issues with staff training' at the pub.

The pub will now stay open until 1am on Mondays. Its application was originally to stay open until 3am.

Between Tuesdays and Thursdays it will be able to remain open until 2am and until 2.30am at weekends.

It had initially wanted to stay open until 3am at weekends.

The pub will also be allowed to play recorded music until 1am from Mondays to Thursdays and at 2.30am at weekends.

Cherwell District Council said police officers were called to the pub in December to a fight in the pub's garden – but it had 'dispersed' before they arrived.
