It’s time to dig out those Christmas jumpers and bring your festive spirit to Zizzi! To celebrate the launch of its new festive menu on Tuesday 17 November, guests who wear their Christmas jumper and buy a drink in a Zizzi restaurant can bag a free Pig in Blanket Bombe, with 30 available at every restaurant, while stocks last.
Whether it’s a classic Christmas knit, a jumper covered in tinsel or something that lights up brighter than the Christmas tree, Zizzi wants to see Britain bring its festive spirit to the table. With thousands of free bombes up for grabs, there’s never been a better excuse to get dressed up, round up friends and family and make a meal of it.
And what better way to kick off the festivities than with Zizzi’s Pig in Blanket Bombe? 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, it’s a festive twist on a Zizzi favourite.
There’s plenty more to get excited about on the menu, too. Available from 17th November, Zizzi’s festive set menu offers two courses from £24.95 or three courses from £29.95, with a line-up of seasonal dishes bringing plenty of Italian flair to the Christmas table.
Festive menu highlights include Black Truffle Arancini, crispy risotto balls served with a hot cheesy fondue dip, and Cranberry & Prosciutto Roast Chicken, stuffed with wild cranberry, mozzarella and pork and chestnut stuffing. For something a little more luxurious, the Lobster & Five Cheese Casareccia combines lobster flakes and pasta with seafood bisque and a five-cheese sauce.
And for those saving room for something sweet, the Pistachio Christmas Tree brings a festive flourish to dessert, with milk chocolate mousse, a pistachio crème centre, a white chocolate tree, Oreo crumb and popcorn crunch.
The giveaway comes as new research from Zizzi, conducted by OnePulse, suggests the nation might need a little nudge to get into the Christmas spirit. More than half (57.2%) of Brits say the country isn’t ready for Christmas, while just 13.8% believe it is.
A further 29% reckon Britain is getting there, with the nation’s festive feeling scoring an average of 31.12 out of 100.
So, what gets Britain feeling festive? Seeing the Christmas lights tops the list, with 23.8% saying this is what first gets them into the Christmas spirit. Spending time with family (16.6%) and decorating the house (15.8%) also help bring on the festive feels.
Now, Zizzi is giving the nation one more reason to embrace the season. Whether guests are already in full Christmas mode or need a little encouragement, pulling on a Christmas jumper and heading to Zizzi could be the perfect way to kick off the festivities.
