Pizarro gets a new aperitivo bar and starts taking reservations

pizarroIt's all change down at Pizarro on Bermondsey Street. The chef is shaking things up with a host of innovations, the first of which is creating a new ‘aperitivo’ bar. Pop along any time from lunchtime onwards for a gintónica (made with local Jensen gin and served with basil, rosemary or cucumber) alongside a daily-changing aperitivo menu. 

New snacks include Gilda – Guindilla peppers, white anchovies and green olives, Octopus topped with tomatoes, Mussels Escabeche, and La Bomba – croquetas with a brava and aïoli topping. There'll also be plates of ham and cheeses if you'd prefer and a new biodynamic ‘sidra’ called Sagardoa, from the Basque Country to wash it all down with.

Aperitivo isn't the only new menu being introduced. José's come up with a new Sunday breakfast menu which will be served from 10 a.m. until the early afternoon. Fancy the sound of Omelette with Courgette & Mint or Baked Eggs with Peas & Chorizo? How about Torrija – bread soaked in orange juice, gently fried, and served with vanilla ice-cream. (Swoon).

But probably one of the biggest changes is the decision to move away from walk-ins only and allow diners to reserve tables in the restaurant for lunch and supper, 7 days a week. Apparently a lot of people had told José that the no-reservations was putting them off coming. "It seemed mad not to let people book," explains José. "So we are keeping the bar, the front window and the long table at the front free for walks ins and the rest our customers can reserve.”
