One of the most famous restaurants along Oswestry's Church Street will reopen next week following Covid-19 lockdown.

Prezzo is a popular restaurant along one of Oswestry's busiest streets and has been shut down since March, but is set to reopen on Tuesday.

Karen Jones, executive chairman of Prezzo, says they are delighted to be able to reopen the branch.

“We can’t wait to welcome back our much-missed customers to Prezzo Oswestry," she said.

“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 August 25.”

To celebrate their doors being open again, diners will be able to enjoy some new additions to the menu: a new calamari recipe, four new pizzas (including veggie and vegan options), a new chicken burger, plus new cocktails and coolers!

And after performing well in test restaurants at the start of this year, they are also introducing a vegan spaghetti Bolognese (also available with gluten free pasta).

There are savings to be had as well with the Summer Set Menu. Costing just £15 for two courses, and £19 for three courses. Those that choose the delicious dishes from this menu can enjoy the same size portions with a saving of up to £7.50*.
