PREZZO'S Weymouth restaurant is reopening today with some tasty new additions to the menu.

Italian restaurant chain Prezzo is reopening 35 of its 180 restaurants today (July 8), including its Weymouth branch.

To celebrate welcoming diners back into the restaurant, Prezzo has added some new dishes to the menu, including a new calamari recipe, four new pizzas (including vegetarian and vegan options) and a new chicken burger as well as some new cocktails. Prezzo is also introducing their vegan spaghetti bolognese which performed well in its test restaurants at the beginning of the year.

As well as new dishes, the restaurant will have some new safety measures in place to keep customers safe:

• All menus will now be disposable to ensure no contamination between customers or staff

• Digital ordering from a smartphone or tablet using the QR code displayed on each table, however, customers can still order with one of our team if they’d prefer

• Standard social distancing markers, hand sanitiser units, and posters with Public Health England advice throughout the restaurants

• The restaurants are now cashless. Customers can settle their bill using Apple Pay or Android Pay, contactless or Chip and PIN

The chain has also reintroduced its summer set menu where customers can dine on two courses for £15, and three courses for £19.

Karen Jones, executive chair of Prezzo, said: "We can’t wait to welcome back our much-missed customers to our Weymouth restaurant. Our sole focus is to blend safe and healthy working practices with proper hospitality to give our people confidence and our customers a wonderful, enjoyable return to Prezzo. Roll on 8th July!"
