sYp

In the city, sYp leans into the joy of Italian-inspired comfort with a playful streak. This is food for sharing and savouring, where familiar favourites rub shoulders with cheeky twists, and the spirit is as much about conversation as it is about craft.

Smalls set the tone: a caprese salad that keeps things clean and bright, and a cheese and meat sharing platter for two that gathers Italian meats, cheeses, tomatoes, grapes, mixed salad and focaccia in one convivial spread. It is the kind of start that invites lingering, passing plates and comparing notes.

Pizzettas and pizzas bring the fun. The whimsically named Billy Goat's Gruff layers goat’s cheese, caramelised onion, pear, truffle oil, chilli honey and walnuts for a sweet-savoury shuffle. For meat-lovers, Herbie HAMcock answers with tomato, mozzarella, pepperoni, Panchetta, ham, caramelised onions and mushrooms, a satisfyingly robust chorus with a crisp, golden edge.

To finish, classics call: tiramisu, or the nostalgically indulgent 'Sizzlin' Chocolate Brownie with ice cream. A line-up of beers and ciders keeps things easy-going, whether it is a quick slice or an unhurried evening. Gather your favourite people, follow your appetite, and come take a sYp of something delicious.
