A late hours catering licence is needed for premises that sell food (either sit in or takeaway) after 11pm or before 5am. The licence acts as an extension to normal trading hours. Renfrewshire Council normally grants a late hours catering licence with these maximum trading hours:

Any application for hours outwith these limits will be treated on their own merits.
