Taco Bell is applying for a late night licence for its Bristol restaurant to sell alcohol until midnight. The application is also to sell food late at night, until at least 5am in the morning.
Taco Bell opened its first premises in Bristol on December 20 on Queens Road, on the Clifton Triangle. A licensing hearing will be held at Bristol City Council on Thursday, January 12, where the restaurant could be granted a new premises licence.
According to the council’s website, Campana Ltd, a Taco Bell franchisee, is applying to sell alcohol from 10am until midnight and to serve hot food until 5am, seven days a week. Three people have made representations about the application to the licensing hearing.

The US-owned Mexican fast food chain has been expanding rapidly in the UK recently, and the restaurant on the Triangle is the company’s 120th to open in the country. Its first restaurant in the UK opened in 2010.
A company spokesperson previously said: “Renowned for its craveable, customisable and quick-serviced Mexican-inspired classics, Taco Bell has been serving tasty tacos, bursting burritos, yummy nachos and its famous quesadillas to hungry UK fans since November 2010.”
