BrewDog Upminster opening hours extension approved

A craft beer chain has been given approval to extend the opening hours of its Upminster bar.

A planning application sent in May sought to change the opening times for BrewDog, in Station Road, from 12pm to 11pm on all days, to 8am to 11 pm.  

The venue, which spans more than 5,000 square feet, was opened in November 2022 on the site of a former NatWest building.

The extended opening hours, the application said, would enable the venue to serve breakfast in addition to their current offerings.

They are however not allowed to sell any alcohol before 12pm.

Another planning condition imposed stated that the pub cannot have deliveries for commercial use on the ground floor other than between 8am to 11pm Monday to Friday, and 8am to 5pm on Saturdays.

No deliveries, it added, can be made on Sundays, bank or public holidays without the prior consent in writing of the local planning authority.

Arrangements for parking, refuse and recycling and noise control shall be as per the previously-approved plans.

The planning decision added: “No significant problems were identified during the consideration of the application.”
