Responsible Service of Alcohol

The SS&A Club has a policy to serve our patrons in a responsible, friendly, and professional manner.

Our staff are on hand, to assist patrons in their decision to drink in moderation and, where appropriate, to help you avoid the dilemmas of combining drinking with driving. Staff will not serve any person under the age of 18 years, nor any patron to intoxication.

• We recognise that it is against the Law to serve any customer to intoxication

• We recognise that it is against the Law to serve or supply alcohol to any customer under the age of 18

• We recognise that it is against the Law to allow intoxicated, disruptive or violent behaviour to occur on the premises.

• We seek to ensure that no harm comes to patrons as a result of our service of alcohol

Our aim is to provide all patrons with a venue for enjoyment and relaxation. Consequently the following policies and procedures have been adopted to ensure the Responsible Service of Alcohol:

• A range of drinks are offered on these premises. These include a range of non-alcoholic drinks.

• Non-alcoholic beverages are priced and actively promoted

• Jugs of iced water are provided on most bars on a complimentary basis

• We do not seek to encourage rapid or excessive consumption of alcohol

• Low alcohol beers and mixed drinks are always stocked

• Staff have been acquainted with the House policy and empowered to offer a range of options as an alternative to alcohol if the feel a patron is becoming intoxicated

• Staff will contact the Duty Manager and alert them to a patrons' impending state of intoxication

• The Duty Manager will determine whether or not service should be refused

• If Service is refused, the Duty Manager will politely explain to the patron(s) that the premises cannot legally serve alcohol to the point of intoxication

• Management/Senior Staff will not place other staff in positions where they might come to harm as a result of dealing with violent, intoxicated or disruptive patrons
