A new pizza restaurant could soon open at a prominent spot in Cheltenham town centre. Plans have been submitted to Cheltenham Borough Council for a new pizza restaurant to be allowed to sell alcohol at 23-25 Promenade.

Bear Pizzeria Ltd wants a premises licence for the site. Their application requests permission to sell alcohol for consumption at basement and ground flour level.

They have applied for permission to sell alcohol from Monday to Thursday from 11am to 11pm and from 11am to midnight and Sunday from 11am to 10.30pm. The address was previously a Bella Italia restaurant and a Santiago's tapas bar and restaurant.
