Liscard’s Royal Oak to face Wirral licensing bosses

Jul 1 2009 by Kevin Core, Bromborough and Bebington News

A PUB where a woman was stabbed in the eye with a stiletto heel could lose its licence.

Police have compiled a dossier of violent incidents recorded over 12 months at Liscard’s Royal Oak pub, including large scale fights and a man left needing 41 stitches after being glassed.

The managers of the pub are due to appear before licensing chiefs at a special meeting of Wirral’s licensing committee.

At the forefront of the dossier is an attack in May last year in which a woman was left needing treatment when a woman she was arguing with attacked her with the heel of her shoe.

Police on the evening told controllers the stiletto had been “shoved” in the victim’s eye, and they began a search of the area. They eventually arrested a woman in her mid 20s on suspicion of assault.

Officers called to violence at the pub in November recorded in their logs that “doormen were unable to cope” when a fight involving 15 men broke out.

The management of the pub were unavailable for comment.
