Kenilworth's branch of Zizzi will close for the final time today (Sunday 28 July).

The Italian restaurant chain announced in April it would be closing its branch at The Square.

Rumours of its closure first surfaced when an advert for its grade II listed site at The Square appeared on a local estate agent's website.

Staff were be offered jobs at the chain's neighbouring restaurants.

Phil Boyd, operations director, said: "Zizzi Kenilworth will be closing its doors this summer.

"We have enjoyed our time in Kenilworth getting to know the locals and sharing good times over delicious food.

"All our wonderful staff from the Kenilworth restaurant will be offered positions at our neighbouring restaurants and we fully aim to retain all of our team to other restaurants within the Zizzi group.

"We welcome customers from Kenilworth and the surrounding local areas to come and find us closeby in Leamington Spa or Coventry." 

Zizzi did not provide a reason for the closure when asked by Nub News.

Many notices have been placed in the window at the local branch encouraging customers to head to Zizzi in either Coventry or Leamington Spa.
