Everyone is feeling the pinch at the moment and by jeepers are we all bored of having to watch our expenditure. So you may be pleased to know there is a venue in central London which is addressing this issue head on. For the rest of the summer at Zebrano’s in Greek Street there is a special offer which is worth checking out. Every Wednesday evening they are offering an ‘Invitation to Treat’ menu. This enables the diner to only pay for what they think the food was worth. If you really have the brass neck you could leave just a few coppers, although the helpful waitress informed us that to date no-one had the gall to do just that. We consumed a whole plethora of Tapas-style dishes which included crunchy fish goujons with tartare sauce, spicy Chorizo sausage, crispy calamari and a wonderfully fresh and crunchy salad to name but a few. This was washed down with a Chilean Sauvignon Blanc that ticked all the right boxes and came in at well under £20 a bottle.

The venue itself is a real hotchpotch of styles, from huge glitter balls on the ceiling to pornographic art on the downstairs walls. This is a place not just to eat but very much to ‘hang out’. Music is played loud but that suits the young and vibrant atmosphere. Upstairs there is a very different feel to the elegant drawing-room ambience of the VIP section. If boogieing the night away is your scene there is dancing every night with a DJ on Friday and Saturdays when apparently the place is heaving. Here they operate an over 21’s policy and this may be changing to an over 25’s so advisable to take your ID. Open till 3am with a very generous Happy Hour on selected cocktails and drinks so what are you waiting for?
