The Licensing Sub-Committee of Trafford Council met on Wednesday 21 October 2026 to consider an application to vary the premises licence for The Garrick's Head, Moorside Road, Flixton. The committee decided not to grant the extension to operating hours or the licensing of the external area. They will allow the operating schedule to be amended, with the details to be set out in writing. The committee clarified that no element of the application for extended hours or external area licensing was granted, but conditions drafted in support of the application were imposed, even though they related to the later hours sought. The decision was communicated that the reasons for the decision would be emailed by Friday afternoon.
