Following a licence review hearing on Tuesday 7th April 2026 Ceredigion County Council has revoked the Premises Licence for Rominos, Cardigan.
The licence review was called by the Home Office Immigration Enforcement Team, who carried out four separate visits to the premises. Across these visits, officers identified a total of eight illegal workers employed at the business.
The review was supported by Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service, who conducted fire safety inspections at the premises. These inspections uncovered multiple serious breaches of fire safety regulations, posing significant risk to staff, customers, and the public. As a result, prohibition notices were issued.
Dyfed Powys Police also made representations to the Licensing Sub Committee in support of the review, highlighting their own concerns regarding compliance and public safety.
The Licensing Sub Committee determined that revocation of the Premises Licence was both proportionate and necessary to uphold the licensing objectives, particularly in respect of public safety and prevention of crime and disorder. The impact of the revocation is that the business would have to close at 11pm, subject to the appeal process.
A spokesperson for Ceredigion County Council said “We welcome the Licensing Sub Committee’s decision to revoke the Premises Licence for Rominos in Cardigan. This reflects the seriousness of the issues identified and the clear risks posed.”
