Off licence bid submitted for a former South Shields pub
An off licence bid has been submitted to sell alcohol at a former South Shields pub.
South Tyneside Council has received a licensing application for a once-popular South Shields pub.
The application for the Jolly Steward, on Fulwell Avenue, is seeking permission for the “off sales of alcohol and general openings” as part of opening as a convenience store and off licence.
In March, the pub was put up for sale at auction with a guide price of £275,000.
In December 2024, South Tyneside Council approved plans from One Stop Stores Limited to covert The Jolly Steward into a convenience store.
According to the licensing application, the site’s operators are seeking a licence to permit alcohol sales from 6am until 11pm, Monday to Sunday.
The Council's website states the "last date for representations" is May 12, 2026.
Comments about licensing applications can be submitted in writing to the Council's licensing section at South Shields Town Hall or by emailing [email protected].
