Responsible Service of Alcohol Policy for The Rose & Crown

The Rose & Crown recognises:

• the need to minimise harm associated with misuse and abuse of liquor (including harm arising from violence and other anti-social behaviour);
• the need to encourage responsible attitudes and practices towards the promotion, sale, supply, service and consumption of liquor; and
• the need to ensure that the sale, supply and consumption of liquor contributes to, and does not detract from, the amenity of community life.

Accordingly, it is The Rose & Crown’s policy to:

• practice the Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA). Supporting responsible consumption practices and preventing intoxication lowers the risk of alcohol-related harm, violence and neighbourhood disturbance, and helps to promote a safe venue for customers and team members;
• encourage its customers who consume liquor to do so responsibly;
• discourage the consumption of liquor which results in intoxication and/or indecent, violent, quarrelsome or disorderly conduct;
• prevent intoxication by recognising the signs of intoxication and refusing service to a patron who reaches this point. Any person who is already intoxicated when attempting to enter the Premises will be refused entry;
• ensure that low alcohol and non-alcoholic beverages are available at all times licensed premises are open for trade;
• ensure promotions are not conducted at licensed premises which will result in binge drinking or excessive consumption;
• prevent disruptive and/or anti-social behaviour of patrons within and when leaving licensed premises;
• prevent drink driving by having safe transport options available;
• prevent underage drinking by requiring proof of age be provided by any person requested to do so, particularly any person who appears to be under the age of 18 years;
• educate team members in respect of RSA and this policy; and
• ensure the noise from the operation of licensed premises does not unduly affect any residence or business located in the vicinity.
