The Alcohol and Entertainment Licensing Sub-Committee of Brent Council is scheduled to meet on Wednesday 10 June 2026. The primary item on the agenda is an application for the review of a premises licence for Recanto Kings.

Review of Premises Licence for Recanto Kings

The meeting will consider an application for the review of the premises licence for Recanto Kings, located at Unit 25 Sapcote Trading Centre, High Road, NW10 2DH. The application has been submitted by Home Office Immigration Enforcement.

The grounds for the review are stated as the prevention of crime and disorder. The report pack details that an enforcement visit on 22 March 2025 identified four individuals working at the premises, two of whom were found to be employed without the lawful right to work in the UK. This led to a civil penalty of £40,000 being issued to Recanto K Limited for employing an individual without the right to work. The penalty remains outstanding.

The report pack outlines a history of the premises, including multiple complaints, breaches of licence conditions, and enforcement actions. These include issues such as overcrowding, sale of alcohol to intoxicated patrons, disorderly conduct, and noise complaints. The Metropolitan Police and the Licensing Authority have also made representations, both supporting the review and recommending the revocation of the premises licence.

The report pack includes extensive documentation detailing the enforcement visit, the individuals encountered, and the subsequent actions taken. It also details the history of the premises licence, including various applications for transfers and variations of the Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS). The Home Office Immigration Enforcement is seeking the revocation of the premises licence, arguing that the management has failed to uphold licensing objectives and has taken steps to obscure responsibility. The Metropolitan Police also support the revocation of the licence due to concerns regarding the prevention of crime and disorder.
