Popular Milton Keynes Italian restaurant will reopen on April 12, offering outdoor dining

Prezzo Milton Keynes at Leisure Park will be opening its doors for outside dining.

A spokesperson for the Pizza business confirmed the following safety measures have been taken:

-"All menus are disposable to ensure no contamination

-"Digital ordering so customers can order directly from their own smartphone or tablet using the QR code displayed on tables

-"Each customer will be asked to scan-in using the NHS Test & Trace app, in line with the recent government guidance

-"Standard social distancing markers, hand sanitizers, as well as lots of posters with Public Health England advice displayed throughout the restaurants."

Karen Jones, CEO of Prezzo said: “We cannot wait to welcome back customers to our Milton Keynes L/Park restaurant. Gardens, terraces and courtyards are being prepped, preened and planted to make sure everything looks wonderful and is covid-secure.

"The teams stand ready to greet customers, and their families and friends with the biggest smiles and the warmest of welcomes. Tables are limited so the advice is to book early and give yourself something to look forward to. At last, it’s time for pasta, pizza, vino. Let’s go…al fresco!!”

Prezzo fans will be able to tuck into some of their Italian classic favourites, including Spaghetti Bolognese (also available as a Vegan and Gluten Free option), Lasagne, Tomato Bruschetta and Al Forno pasta dishes which are all back on the menu. And for those with a sweet-tooth, there’s Raspberry Sorbet, Sticky Toffee Pudding and the Honeycomb Smash Cheesecake. Alongside its usual selection of traditional pizzas, all offered gluten-free.

The MK restaurant is among 70 sites reopening across the country, click and collect and delivery options will also be available from Monday.
