Discount supermarket chain Lidl has submitted planning applications to open its first-ever pub alongside a new store in Dundonald, near Belfast. The proposed development features a pub adjacent to the supermarket premises, operating with its own separate entrance. This unique concept is designed to showcase Lidl’s range of beers, wines, and spirits in a traditional social setting. The project remains subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and liquor licensing approvals from local authorities.
- Lidl has filed planning applications for a new supermarket development in Dundonald, Belfast, which features a licensed pub.
- The proposed pub will sit adjacent to the supermarket but will function as a separate entity with its own dedicated entrance and exit.
- This project marks the first time the discount retailer has sought to establish and operate a pub.
- The venue is intended to highlight and promote Lidl’s private-label and award-winning alcohol products directly to consumers.
- The progress of the development is contingent upon securing official planning permission and local licensing approvals.

Jake, we’re all watching for ‘legitimate work reasons’ too 🍺 Edit: surprise, surprise, the religious extremists in the DUP are clinging on to an antiquated law that no longer fit for purpose, ensuring the worst deal for Northern Ireland in the UK, as always!

we dont have such a thing in germany. this means lidl believes the people in belfast are alcoholicians..
Great reporting but we still don't know if we can drink their £2 bottles of fortified wine at the bar. 6/10
No surrender principle.
Dude with glasses and dude with the black shirt are both uniquely attractive.

HI BBC ..Have you noticed When you made short interview With someone On BBC news, the one who Was having the interview Puts him self Infront of A large shelf full of Book To look smart (The majority of interview makers )….But he may read Just 4 or 5 from them …"the plan is not to look smart it is to be smart" Adele Said that ❤️❤️some one like You Uuuuuuu
I'm pretty sure I went to a Harris Teeter (local grocery store) in Charlotte that had a bar upstairs
so lidl just have to build a pub, to mitigate a risk of losing licence, i guess?
i have a question:
if publicans view their license as a pension nest egg 7:36 for the 'hospitality sector' 6:40 , what exactly are republicans doing to the world in terms of cosmopolitan hospitality, trying to enforce the surrender system onto anyone outside their views?
Call me when they're offering up bags of weed
Henry Nowak. RIP.
As a Brit who has lived in downtown Toronto for 15 years, we have at least 2 Longos supermarkets that have a Corks bar inside the store. Refreshing!

Send Nigel, he will be star Politian in Ireland rather than the damage he caused with isolationist Brexit.
The same system is in the Republic of Ireland, two have to be available and bought. My town in County Cork had over 150 licenced pubs plus a few unlicensed ones within the town wall area 120 years ago, now less than 10 and a hotel, one new one opened in last 10 years and only one left in the main street. We had one pub that only opened one day a year just to hang onto the licence or be forced to surrender or sell it. The owner died, an old lady, and licence sold, now offices and flats. There are five closed as the families in dispute over the will as to who should inherit it after the licensee died. The licences on hold until the probate sorted out. The premises slowly decaying, the council was forced to do emergency safety work to one as the front wall and roof was in danger of collapsing, hopefully the cost charged to the estate. A new housing development and the residents are miles from the nearest pub, not helpful in stopping drink driving offences.
This news is it. Are you paid by lidl.
why? bbc wants you to go buy whatever they are selling. then bbc, pay me €100000000 and I will open my pub too

It's fascinating how unexpected legal rules can lead to surprising outcomes. The world is full of interesting stories, but the greatest story is still the Gospel of Jesus Christ
In cased you missed it … English Colonialists control , occupation and the ripping apart of Ireland caused it …
