A TAKEAWAY company serving pizza to west Reading residents has applied for permission to keep serving slices until the early hours of the morning.
Avon Foods Ltd, which runs a Papa John’s franchise in Oxford Road, has applied to serve customers dining in until 3am on Fridays and Saturdays, and 2am from Sunday to Thursday the rest of the week.
The takeaway is currently open from 11am to 11pm each day, and would require a licence to serve food past 11pm.
It is located in Cholsey House, Moulsford Mews, a precinct which also contains a Subway, the 805 Restaurant and Grill and Chaayé Paani café and is next to the Tesco Extra store in Portman Road.
There are also branches on Shinfield Road, and Woodley town centre.
The extended opening hours proposal has been submitted to Reading Borough Council. Anyone who wants to comment on the application can do so by emailing licensing@reading.gov.uk, by Thursday, September 1.
A hearing on a licensing application will only take place if a valid objection is made.
So far this year, the council’s licensing applications committee has met to approve temporary event licences for Zorba’s Kebabs in Station Road and The Jolly Anglers pub on Kennet Side.
