A go-karting venue in Reading has won permission to sell alcohol to customers until midnight.
TeamSport Go Karting is an established go-karting venue in the town, operating from a converted industrial unit in Cradock Road, Whitley.
First opened in 2014, the venue underwent a a £1.35 million renovation in 2023 that introduced electric-powered karts and the ‘Combat Kart’ virtual experience for customers to enjoy.
Earlier this year, the company applied to sell alcohol from 12pm to midnight each day, and play recorded music from 9am to midnight on weekdays, and from 7am to midnight on Saturdays and Sundays.
This was done in a licensing application to Reading Borough Council.
The licence was granted after no one objected during a statutory consultation into the application that concluded on September 15.
The current opening hours for TeamSport Go Karting are 9am to 11pm.
The licence therefore enables the sale of alcohol until midnight.
Food and drinks are served at 'the refuel' area, where customers can enjoy burgers, pizzas, hot dogs and light bites, as well as a range of alocholic, soft and hot drinks.
