PUB AND VENUE SECURITY
Protect the licence, support the team and welcome the right atmosphere.
Good door supervision is part of the wider venue operation. We agree the purpose of the deployment, reporting line, busy periods and escalation route with management before officers begin work.
Opening nights and events
Planned security support for launches, ticketed activity, live entertainment, seasonal events and other periods where the venue expects additional demand.
Peak trading cover
Visible support for the venue team during agreed high-footfall evenings, weekends or local events, with staffing shaped around the assessed requirement.
Venue briefing
A clear pre-duty briefing covering the premises, licence conditions shared by management, house policies, expected risks, key contacts and escalation routes.
Incident recording
Proportionate recording and prompt management liaison so the venue has a clearer account of incidents, actions taken and follow-up needed.
Integrated operational support
Security can be delivered as a dedicated service or connected with wider Open House Pubs management and opening support for one coordinated working relationship.
A CLEAR WORKING PLAN
Security planned around the venue.
We do not treat every pub as the same. The deployment begins with the premises, the operating plan and the risks identified by management.

COMMON QUESTIONS
What pub owners ask us.
Every venue is different. These answers explain our starting point; the working plan is then agreed around the premises.
Do your pub security personnel hold SIA licences?
Personnel assigned to licensable security activity must hold the appropriate current SIA licence for their role. Licence suitability is checked as part of deployment arrangements.
Can security be booked for one event or opening night?
Yes. We can discuss a single event, opening night, peak period or an ongoing requirement. Availability, staffing and the appropriate deployment are confirmed for each request.
Does security replace the responsibilities of the DPS or premises licence holder?
No. The premises licence holder, DPS and venue management retain their legal and operational responsibilities. Security works within the agreed venue procedures and escalation arrangements.
Where do you provide SIA pub security?
We welcome venue security enquiries from across the UK. Coverage depends on the location, dates, hours, assessed requirement and availability of appropriately licensed personnel.
