A FORMER bookies in Reading town centre will soon be serving Mexican food as a new takeaway prepares to open.
Zambrero is to open at 31 Queen Victoria Street, between Itsu and Kokoro.
The chain started in Australia, and serves burritos, nachos, quesadillas, tacos and desserts. It already has five branches in England, four in London and one in Chelmsford.
Work on converting its new Reading home has started, with the William Hill sign has been removed and hoardings for Zambrero erected.
The company has applied to Reading Borough Council for permission to sell alcohol on and off premises from 11am to 9pm Monday to Saturday, and 11am to 8.30pm on Sundays. On New Year’s Eve, it would like permission to sell alcohol outside of these times so it can open later for any parties.
The application has been submitted to Reading Borough Council. Comments can be made by emailing: licensing@reading.gov.uk by Tuesday, April 4.
