If you’re heading into Cardiff for a spot of Christmas shopping or meeting friends in Swansea, Tuesday 17 November might be the day to give that Christmas jumper its first outing. Zizzi is launching its festive menu with a giveaway that rewards anyone willing to wear their best (or worst) festive knit.
Wear a Christmas jumper and buy a drink at Zizzi on Tuesday 17th November and you can get a free Pig in Blanket Bombe. There are just 30 at each restaurant, available while stocks last.
So what exactly is a Pig in Blanket Bombe? Think freshly baked garlic dough ball stuffed with mozzarella, pork and chestnut stuffing, wild cranberry sauce and Riserva cheese. It’s finished with hot honey and crowned with a pig in blanket. If you’re the person who always tries to pinch one from the Christmas dinner tray, this has your name on it.
The festive set menu starts on the same day, with two courses from £24.95 or three from £29.95. Black Truffle Arancini come with a hot cheese fondue dip, while the Cranberry & Prosciutto Roast Chicken is stuffed with wild cranberry, mozzarella and pork and chestnut stuffing. There’s also Lobster & Five Cheese Casareccia, with lobster flakes and pasta in a seafood bisque and five-cheese sauce.
Then there’s the Pistachio Christmas Tree, a dessert with milk chocolate mousse, a pistachio crème centre, a white chocolate tree, Oreo crumb and popcorn crunch. It might be worth saving a little room.
In a OnePulse poll commissioned by Zizzi, Christmas lights were the most popular answer when people were asked what first gets them into the festive spirit. So if your jumper lights up too, all the better.
More than half of us (57.2%) may say the country isn’t ready for Christmas, while just 13.8% believe it is. A further 29% reckon we are getting there, with the nation’s festive feeling scoring an average of 31.12 out of 100.Â
So, what gets us 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.
