The Licensing Sub-Committee (Alcohol and Entertainments) of Rushmoor Council met on Tuesday, 3rd March 2026, to consider an application for the review of a premises licence. The committee decided to adjourn the review hearing until after the application for the transfer of the licence has been determined.

Review of Premises Licence for Pizza Gogo, Aldershot

The committee considered an application for the review of the premises licence for Pizza Gogo, located at 5 Union Street, Aldershot, GU11 1EG. The review was initiated by the Immigration Authority on 8th December 2025, citing concerns related to the licensing objective of the prevention of crime and disorder.

The report presented to the committee detailed two enforcement visits by the South Central Immigration Compliance Enforcement (ICE) team. The first visit, on 10th May 2019, resulted in the encounter of four males, two of whom were working illegally and two in breach of their visa conditions. The manager at the time, Ghulam Husain Neazy, confirmed that pre-employment checks were not conducted for one of the individuals. A civil penalty of £15,000 was issued to Pizza Gogo Aldershot Limited for one individual with no right to work, which remains outstanding.

A second visit on 30th April 2025 encountered one individual working in breach of conditions. This individual was wearing a 'Kebabish' branded t-shirt, and CCTV footage showed him serving customers in the Kebabish section of the premises. Ghulam Husain Neazy, who is now listed as a director of AM Pizza Centre Limited and Tasty Kebabish Limited, was also present during this visit. AM Pizza Centre Limited was issued a £45,000 penalty, which was later cancelled, and the penalty was reissued to Tasty Kebabish Limited. This penalty remains unpaid and is being referred to a debt collection agency.

The grounds for the review highlighted a pattern of neglect in conducting right-to-work checks, which the Immigration Enforcement argued undermines the licensing objectives. It was noted that the premises appeared to be operating as two businesses, Pizza Gogo and Kebabish, sharing staff and a connected kitchen, despite being operated by different companies. The Immigration Enforcement requested the revocation of the premises licence.

During the meeting, the committee decided to adjourn the review hearing. This decision was made to allow for the determination of a separate application for the transfer of the licence. The outcome of that transfer application will likely influence the subsequent proceedings of the licence review.

The committee members present were Councillor Peter Cullum (Deputy Mayor of the Borough), Councillor Bill O'Donovan, and Councillor Jacqui Vosper (Chair of Licensing and Corporate Business Committee).
