Cheers to that!

Environmental Health recently carried out 21 alcohol tests. These were in bars, pubs and clubs in Darlington.

We’re pleased to report that every sample was genuine, they showed no evidence of dilution. This gives customers confidence that they are receiving exactly what they pay for.

This is an excellent outcome. It reflects the consistent high standards maintained across our local hospitality sector.

Thank you to all participating businesses for their cooperation during the checks. The Licensing Team helped us complete the checks.
