A Reading town centre takeaway popular with late-night visitors has applied to keep on selling food until the early hours of the morning.

Zorba’s Shisa and Kebab in Station Road already has permission to serve food until 3am.

It has submitted a licensing application to Reading Borough Council to serve food until 5am.

As well as kebabs and pitta, its menu includes burgers, chicken nuggets and chips.

The licensing application was submitted by Matthew Joannou, the owner of Zorba’s.

Although facing on to Station Road, Zorba’s is located just within the Harris Arcade, a place where it has occupied for over two decades.
