A Chinese takeaway in Katesgrove has applied to Reading Borough Council for permission to open longer.
The Golden Rice in Whitley Street currently trades from 5pm to 11pm throughout the week, excluding Tuesdays, when it is closed.
But they want to change this to 1.30am.
To be able to sell food and soft drinks past 11pm, the owners need a premises licence.
A public consultation is being held on the application. Comments, which are publicly accessible, can be by emailing licensing@reading.gov.uk.
The deadline for responses is Friday, May 31.
