at a park, in an open space, the beach, a bus stop etc.
• Delivery riders must be instructed to abort delivery where that sale is believed to be
a “street sale” or to an open space. All such instances will be recorded in the

• All forms of advertising and promotional literature dealing with the delivery service
(including internet sites and flyers/leaflets) will clearly and prominently state that
alcohol will only be delivered together with an order for food, the food contingent of
the total delivery being a minimum of [£X]. It will also advise of the premises

full advance training in selling alcohol, approved forms of ID and Challenge 25
