A ROADSIDE village pub has lodged an application to make changes to its alcohol licence.

The Old Forge Inn - located along the A38 in Whitminster - has applied to Stroud District Council to amend its existing alcohol licence. 

The pub is owned by Punch Taverns Limited, which has around 1,300 sites across the UK. 

Under the proposed plan, alcohol could be served until 1am from Thursday to Saturday.

However, the application says there would be no first entry to the premises after 11pm Monday to Wednesday, after midnight Thursday to Saturday and after 10.30pm on Sunday’s.

The application states all other hours, activities and conditions will remain unchanged.
