Recently opened specialist Aylesbury cafe bids for alcohol licence
A recently opened cafe in Aylesbury has applied for an alcohol licence to sell booze on-site.
Stories of Samosas, which opened at 10 High Street in March, is looking to sell alcohol at its store.
A notice of the application was published in The Bucks Herald today and was validated by Bucks Council a week ago.
Currently, the application is subject to a consultation period which is set to last until July 15. Stories of Samosas is seeking to sell alcohol from 11am until its daily closing time of 10pm seven days of the week.
Guests would not be able to purchase alcohol to take away or leave the cafe with booze, as per the application which can be viewed online here.
In March The Bucks Herald revealed that the new cafe is run by husband and wife team Atal and Neha Malviya. They were already owners of several businesses across the UK but the specialist samosa store represented a new venture.
They explained that the business would also brew speciality teas and coffees upon opening.
Atal told The Bucks Herald he was inspired to open a catering store dedicated to samosas after he first moved to the UK 20 years ago and felt British people were not getting the best standard of the globally famous pastry appetizer.
He said: “When I came to this country 20 years back, we were not surprised to know that pretty much everybody in this country knows samosas. But we were surprised to learn that they don’t know the real range of samosas.”
The company also sells contemporary and traditional Indian sweets.
