LICENSING officials are to review a Knutsford pub's right to entertain because of a mix-up over door staff.

The manager of the White Lion has been asked to attend a meeting on Monday to explain why they used men who were not registered with Macclesfield Borough Council.

Yesterday (Tuesday) Katherine Lui said she thought the door staff had been legitimate.

"They were all supposed to be registered," she said.

"Presumably we should be okay after the meeting."

In an agenda for the forthcoming meeting the borough said a council officer and a policeman had discovered the door staff were not registered in April.

"When the two men were spoken to it was ascertained that neither was registered," they said.

Macclesfield Borough Council officers interviewed Ms Lui in June about the breach of licensing conditions at Macclesfield Town Hall.

Door staff who work in the area must be registered under the borough's scheme and cannot use other councils' badges, which are different colours.

In November the then landlady of the Red Cow in Canute Place, Knutsford, was given a warning by Macclesfield because her doormen did not wear the right-coloured badges.

Mrs Lui, who took over the King Street pub in February, will attend the meeting of the Regulation and Licensing Committee on Monday.

Her pub's current entertainment licence expires on April 4.
