PIZZAS could be served from a former bookies in Tilehurst if permission is granted by Reading Borough Council.

The Coral betting shop in Norcot Road closed in 2020, and a licensing application has been submitted to Reading Borough Council for the site by Vesuvio Pizzeria Ltd.

Vesuvio translates to Vesuvius, and is the volcano that infamously erupted destroying the Roman cities of Pompeii, Herculaneam and other settlements in 79 AD.

The firm has applied to sell food and soft drinks indoors and outdoors until 2am seven days a week, and to sell alcohol from 11am to 11.30pm.

Although a licensing application has been submitted, no planning application to change the use of the building from a bookkeepers into a restaurant takeaway has been made yet.

In August 2020, a plan was approved to convert the betting shop into offices, under reference 200766, but this did not take place.
