Britain was not allowed to serve alcohol at a fast food chain. However, it seems as though things are about to change as the popular fast food chain, Burger King, has won a drinks licence for its restaurant in Bury St Edmunds.
Burger King has also applied for three more licences for its Hull, Blackpool and Newcastle-under-Lyme branches.
Initially, the popular burger joint had applied for a licence which would have allowed them to serve alcohol from 10am to 11pm, every day of the week. However, the police strongly opposed to the proposition.
The licence was granted to the food chain but with restrictions. The company can only sell one beer per adult and cannot sell alcohol after 9pm; they also have to prohibit people from drinking outside its restaurant.
So, fancy a pint? Forget the local pub... let's go to Burger King!
