A popular Italian chain is re-opening its doors later this month.

Prezzo, in Earl Street, Maidstone , is welcoming back customers to its restaurant next Tuesday.

To celebrate the opening, the eatery has introduced some new additions to their menu, including four new pizzas, a new chicken burger, calamari recipe and cocktails.

It will also offer vegan pizza options and its new vegan spaghetti bolognese which has been trialled at other restaurants in the country.

The chain says keeping everyone safe is their "top priority" and have made some changes to protect customers.

These including using disposable menus, digital ordering via smartphones, social distancing markers, hand sanitiser units and Public Health England posters.

Executive chair of Prezzo, Karen Jones, said: “We can’t wait to welcome back our much-missed customers to Prezzo Maidstone."

“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."

The store reopens nearly three weeks after fellow food chain Ask Italian, which is found on the same street, made the decision to close its Maidstone store due to the pandemic.
