About us
Zucchinis serves the best of Italian food all day long.
Zucchini has a rich history of entertainment. For those of our diners that remember the Batley Variety Club, they know that some of the biggest stars of music and comedy performed next door during the ‘60s and ‘70s. It’s our delight to continue this rich tradition of hospitality and entertainment in a very special setting.
As you walk into Zucchini a glance to your right reveals our ‘honours’ board that includes Tom Jones, The Bee Gees, Tina Turner, Gene Pitney, Louis Armstrong, Roy Orbison, Shirley Bassey and Cliff Richard and the Shadows.
The club also featured comedy greats such as Ken Dodd, Morcambe and Wise, Freddie Starr, and Dave Allen.
