"Myself and my Mom popped in today for a light lunch. We haven’t been in a while but the transformation from coffee lounge to restaurant is fantastic. Lovely and spacious with beautiful views through beautiful, large windows. The food was beautiful and fresh and customer service was excellent. Tom came over to ask us how we were enjoying our food and gave us so much information about where their meat fish is sourced, also explaining how the food changes daily as they serve seasonal produce. Such a refreshing change to speak to somebody who is clearly very passionate about providing customers with high quality, locally sourced food. Even the artwork on the walls was painted by a local artist. We will definitely be returning to sample your dinner menu and Sunday roast. We paid a visit to the Farm Shop before returning home where we were greeted with a massive, cheerful “hello” and a beaming smile from behind the meat counter. We couldn’t resist the rib eye steak and pork belly. The latter is now cooking nicely in the oven verdict to follow . Thank you for making our day so enjoyable."

"My daughter and I visited this establishment for breakfast. In a past life it was a takeaway sandwich establishment, and to a large extent it still is but of a very high standard. We both had the Full English Breakfast Board which consists of a large Lashford sausage, Bromsgrove bacon, Black pudding (not for either of us), Free Range Eggs, Tomatoes, baked beans, mushrooms , toast and butter. I had an Americana and my daughter a tea. The food was excellent. Looking at the menu, the pricefor the breakfast was £8.95 which by today's standard is quite expensive, with the coffee at £2.25, and tyhe tea at £1.60. When we came to pay we were informed that there was a surcharge of 20% as we had eaten in. This was not told to us when ordering. The total bill which as far as we were concerned was £21.75 climbed to a dizzy £26.10. Some price for a lovely breakfast but sat on metal chairs in a tiny unit. I found the breakfast to be one of the best that I have had in years, but the price a bit steep and the lack of clarity re pricing annoying."

"OH MY GOD AMAZING What more can I say, the service and the food were impeccable, the staff are very attentive, knowledgeable with info about the food and the wines to accompany the dishes, courteous, caring, and really take a pride in their roles, the kitchen staff have excellent attention to detail and know how to cook, the food we had was exemplary, cooked to perfection, not every chef can do a steak rare, most overcook it even if it’s just a tiny bit, but my steak on the surf and turf was cooked to perfection, the chimichuri with with the surf and turf was fresh and tangy with just the right amount of chillies, the monks fish tail wrapped in pancetta was moist and dried out like most chefs cook it, the risotto was nutty and tangy, and the pak Choi wilted to perfection with soy sauce and chilli, the starters were equally incredible, light and juicy scallops with fregola, broad beans and sun dried tomatoes, and the smoked salmon with rye bread, capers, dressed with onions and herby cream cheese, all the flavours complimented each other perfectly, This was a dining experience I won’t forget in a hurry, we were made to feel to welcome, as though we were visiting old friends, Please go and visit You won’t regret it"

"Visited on valentines day. Of course on a busy day like that it was always going to be difficult for the front of house to provide the best service. However, the main problem with zizzi as a whole at the moment is the app ordering. To get the app was easy enough with the bar code on the table with table number. But, ordering is not as personal as you expect from a restaurant. By this I mean when ordering a pizza you expect to be able to customise the toppings as its one of the most customisable meals out there. But the app had no option for this meaning we avoided the pizza. In the end, we ordered the new sharer starter, a beef shin meal with potatoes and ricotta filled tortelloni. The starter was just amazing, beautifully cooked fried calamari, oozy arancini with mozzarella filling, tangy caprese salad and garlicky garlic bread. A great starter to share, for it was a bit much but perfect for or With such a great start we were then let down by the mains. My beef shin was cooked nicely and the broccoli accompaniment paired well, but the cheesy potato that was supposed to come with it was replaced by chips, due to running out. I understand that when you run out there isn't anything to do, however because we ordered on the app no one warned us about this until it arrived, and by then it is too late to change. However, it was the tortelloni that was really disappointing. It came as described, the spicy tomato ragu was tasty, but the filling of ricotta was horrible. It had the texture of strange mash potato and was devoid of taste. Because of this we both decided not to finish our dishes. The saving grace for this visit was the starter and the service we received from a hectic front of house. When we mentioned the tortelloni the manager was kind enough to remove it from the bill, even after resistance from myself. From seeing other tables you could see that the waiter's/waitresses were truly trying their best to save everyone's nights. So I give them stars because the starter was lovely and the staff were doing their best. But the marks are lost with a poor consistency of food quality and an app that needs updating or removing."
