It would still need to register as a food business even if it was only a 
pub, I would have thought.

My impression, locally, is that councils just don't have the money to 
actively find unregistered food businesses, and a large number of food 
businesses fail to register.

Not quite the same thing, but I was looking at a planning application 
for a specialist supermarket recently and the inspector had noted that 
the site had planning permission as  cafe, but appeared to be a 
(disused) bar (different letter category).  I happen to know it was a 
shisha bar (sui generis).  That suggested to me that the council had 
completely lost track of the real nature of the local businesses.
