Tim Hortons chain to open drive-thru and restaurant at Newbury Retail Park

Plans to open a Tim Hortons drive-thru and restaurant at Newbury Retail Park have been approved.

West Berkshire Council has given approval for the chain to take over the former Pizza Hut unit just off Pinchington Lane, near McDonald's.

There had been some concerns raised locally over potential traffic congestion at the retail park.

The application included a change of use to enable takeaway food to be served and plans to upgrade the current building.

Tim Hortons was founded in Canada in 1964 and opened its first UK outlet in 2017, focussing on fresh coffee and baked goods, plus paninis, sandwiches and wraps.
