Step into Beckenham’s musical past as we dine at Zizzi, just a stone’s throw from where David Bowie once found his creative spark. This Italian gem blends nostalgia with flavour — from garlic bread with mozzarella & caramelised onions to crab & lemon arancini, aubergine parmigiana, and the indulgent chorizo carbonara.
We finish on a sweet crescendo with the tropical pina colada sundae and honeycomb cheesecake — desserts worthy of a standing ovation.
Join us as we explore Zizzi’s three‑course set menu, uncovering how this spot keeps Beckenham’s Bowie spirit alive through food, warmth, and a touch of stardust.

Just a friendly correction –
The thumbnail isn't David Bowie it's Leif Garrett 80s actor.
Although I can see a very slight similarity.
Branding is on point on the plates
Did you get the train there and back home again
Nice. I hope to find such places and do the same but sigh way to slow to happen
Really loved the video. Takes me back to my late teenage years when me and my friends used to go to that venue when it was the Rat and Parrot! Great days in Beckenham.
0:26 sorry to correct you again….
It wasn't the Ziggy Stardust era the 'Lightening strike' on the pavement was from 'Aladdin Sane' album cover.
Ziggy cover was NYC (and has become something of a tourist attraction).
Oh my days!
It's the restaurant that has LEIF GARRETT!
Wow what an error on their behalf.
