Zizzi is launching its festive menu on Tuesday 17 November with a one-day giveaway: guests who wear a Christmas jumper and buy a drink can claim a free Pig in Blanket Bombe, with 30 available at each of its restaurants while stocks last.
The bombe is a freshly baked garlic dough ball filled with mozzarella, pork and chestnut stuffing, wild cranberry sauce and Riserva cheese, finished with hot honey and topped with a pig in blanket. Garlic & Mozzarella and Chorizo & Mozzarella Bombes are also included in the offer, which is limited to one per guest and six per table, and is for dine-in only.
The festive set menu, available from 17 November, offers two courses from £24.95 or three from £29.95. Dishes include Black Truffle Arancini with a hot cheesy fondue dip, Cranberry & Prosciutto Roast Chicken stuffed with wild cranberry, mozzarella and pork and chestnut stuffing, and Lobster & Five Cheese Casareccia with seafood bisque. For dessert, the Pistachio Christmas Tree combines milk chocolate mousse, a pistachio crème centre, a white chocolate tree, Oreo crumb and popcorn crunch.
The giveaway coincides with research for Zizzi by OnePulse among 500 respondents, in which 57.2% said the country is not ready for Christmas and 13.8% that it is, with a further 29% saying Britain is getting there. Seeing the Christmas lights was the most common trigger for festive feeling (23.8%), ahead of spending time with family (16.6%) and decorating the house (15.8%).
The jumper offer is valid on 17 November only and cannot be combined with other in-restaurant promotions, set menus or partner offers such as Tesco, Tastecard, Blue Light Card, UNiDAYS and Student Beans. Full details of the festive menu are on the Zizzi website.
