VICTUALING HOUSE
Any shop or place where a substantial part of the business is the furnishing of food for consumption at the place where it is furnished. A victualing house must have a satisfactory kitchen on the proposed premises. A "kitchen" is defined as a room or area that is a permanent part of the primary building in which food is cooked or prepared and at all times meets the minimum requirements of the Department of Health and holds a certificate of occupancy from the Town of Westerly Building Official. [Note: For any preexisting, nonconforming victualing house business (owner or non-owner operated) that is damaged and/or destroyed by no fault of their own, that operation could continue as a semipermanent structure with a "grandfathered right."]
