Martin Lewis’ website moneysavingexpert.com had advised the Beast via electronic mail that there was a deal to be had at Prezzo, Church Street, Oswestry. 241 on all main meals, this was an offer Beastie couldn’t refuse and a table was booked immediately.
I know, I know, Prezzo is a chain and this is meant to be Shropshire reviews only but at least now this makes me national!!
Unfortunately I have not been able to do this review alone; I have needed the help of Prezzo’s website as the whole menu is in Italian (with English subtitles you will be pleased to know). This whole Italian thing makes for very uncomfortable ordering, the waitress arrived and we pointed, spoke louder and ignored the Italian words and gave the English version.
“Garlic Cheese Bread to share to start” from Beast. “Pane Con Cipolla” she replied.
“That one there, Calzone” for me pointed Beast “Carne Piccante” she replied
“Chicken” Hubby Beast pointed to ensure she had the right one “Pollo Gorgonzola” she replied. She then proceeded to read the order back to us in Italian which we just smiled and nodded. How the beep are we meant to know them when she reads them back if we didn’t know them in the first place!!
£4.95 for the starter to share £9.95 for the chicken and £8.95 for the Calzone, but this was free on our 241 deal. The garlic cheese pizza bread was massive, definitely plenty for 2 Beasts or 3 average Joes to consume as a starter and really yummy too. It was covered in cheese, caramelised onions and garlic and was really thin, a real treat.
My calzone was massive, served with a bit of token salad and some salsa it was really really tasty and filled up Beast a treat.
Hubby’s chicken was perfectly cooked, served with a good portion of American style chips and some salad. Fantastic.
The food was absolutely fantastic, really tasty, really fresh and lots of it. What a great place and a great new restaurant for Oswestry. We shall return, especially on 241 nights!!
My only gripe is the choice and price of the lager. One choice = Peroni. They are either £3.25 for a small bottle which is basically a half and £5.95 for a large one which is just over a pint. Rip me off sideways!!
You definitely need to book for Friday and Saturday nights at Prezzo.
Beast rating 4.5/5

I do enjoy eating at a Prezzo restaurant, especially on 2 4 1 nights or with a similar voucher that seem to be all over the internet these days. the food is really good for a chain restaurant and the portions are nothing to be laughed at. I also love the fact that a lot of the Prezzo venues are in in historic buioldings which is at complete odds with their Italian branding but adds a touch of individuality to each.
