A Wokingham Road curry house is celebrating winning the PR opportunity of a lifetime after being chosen by the Reading Borough Council PR department as the winner of the RBC/Evening Post sponsored Free Publicity for a Week competition. Owner Mohammed Miah told us: "We are extremely pleased, but surprised, to find ourselves the winners. We expected the 5 star rated Burger King in St Mary's Butts to get all the publicity rather than a mere 4 star establishment like ourselves, but Steve Waite demanded a full three course binge before he would step out on official business so Burger King was ruled out. Luckily we managed to prevent Mayor Chris "Mr. Kipling" Maskell from coming along as well by telling him that we don't have any cakes, otherwise we'd be in serious danger of going bust."

Notes for Editors: PHOTOCALL:Councillor Steve Waite will be stuffing his fat face whilst pretending to be on Council business at the Garden of Gulab restaurant (130-134 Wokingham Rd RG6 1JL) at 2pm on Friday June 8 if anyone would like to take their cameras along for us.
