The true trailblazers… V Rev has been a rite of passage for anyone going vegan for over ten years now - it was our regular haunt after Street activism many years ago, first in Oldham Street and then later, Edge Street. So devastating to get the news today that they are closing. We have so few independent vegan businesses left now, please support them where you can and help those left survive 🙏🏽 🌱💚

An honest post from another small, independent vegan business - please, if you’re reading this, support your small, local and independent businesses whenever possible 💚

HONEST POST 🐻

Yesterday was our lowest sales day in history. Congleton is like a ghost town today perhaps the sadness from our monarch passing and the downturn in our economy. Prices increasing all around us and the hospitality industry is getting hit hard . We feel for everyone what they are going through … it’s been a tough year.

I am seeing all the places I love and know closing their doors and it’s so sad to see. So my message today is to support small and get to your high streets!! There is a surge in online shopping like never before but sadly this will lead to more shop fronts closing their doors. If you can try and buy things from our array of amazing shops. Could we go without Amazon for a week 😅 When thinking of grabbing a quick bite from a chain why not nip to your local cafes for a brew and nibble.

It’s the Makers Market & Green Fayre in Congleton this weekend. A reminder to support our local makers. When you buy from someone local that money goes straight back into your community for families, creating jobs etc.. But most importantly supporting a dream.

LOCALS we need your help boosting our local time. Let’s start a shop locally campaign of our own and make sustainable choices to make this a culture changing town. 🐻 Beartown needs you 🐻

As always we appreciate your support

Who’s tried in Urmston? Absolutely incredible and fantastic service too! It’s never been so important to support our local independent vegan businesses, while we have any left! Such sad news about closing down 😭 plus so many other announcements in recent weeks

That’s a wrap! Now that the dust has (almost) settled after our final weekend, I thought I should post and thank all of you that have supported us over the last five years and in our final few weeks; it’s really meant a lot to us (even if it has been more than a little crazy!) to see how loved we are and to hear how much we’ll be missed… well, how much ZFC will be missed.

In true Zad’s style, we kept many of you waiting a very long time this weekend, so a final apology and a promise that we’ll never leave you waiting again 😜

Until we see you again

Orders are already flying in for the last night, wait times are going up and limited stock is being bought up so get your last orders in asap ☺️
If you walk in without pre-ordering we may be too busy to take the order or wait times may be very high!

We’ve had to switch off the app for a while, but once we work through these orders, we’ll hopefully switch it back on - didn’t even make it to 5pm before we had to switch off…

Just one more night and then it’s goodbye 💔
Thank you x

Unfortunately we won’t be able to do any delivery orders tonight (Saturday 23rd).
(It’s unlikely we’ll be able to respond to any messages on social media tonight)

Our deepest apologies to anyone who was planning on ordering their last ever Zad’s delivery tonight, but we will still be open and delivering for our final day tomorrow if that is an option for you instead.
The last couple of days (and weeks) have been manic and the support before we say goodbye has been overwhelming ♥️ after two 14/15 hour non-stop shifts in the heat, fewer staff remaining but over three times the usual number of orders, and with stock running out we just need a more manageable night to get the shop and staff back to 100% for our final stretch tomorrow. We hope you understand and thank you for the support.

If you have any questions and we've a spare hand and second to answer the phone don't hesitate to give us a call.

The winner of the specials vote is back! Chinese salt and pepper chips pizza is available for our very last weekend ever starting tonight 🥺 thanks for all the support ♥️

Well… we made it, kind of. Really didn’t think we’d make our fifth birthday, but here we are - 5 years ago today, we opened our doors to you all for the first time and what a 5 years it’s been! You’ve shown us such huge support over recent weeks since we announced our closure and we’re honestly all so very sad to be going 😢

We’ve had blood, sweat and tears (don’t worry, always in a non-food environment) over the last five years and we felt it apt to close our doors on our birthday weekend, so as you all know, this weekend will be our final weekend serving the finest vegan pizza around.

If you’re around, do feel free to call in for a piece of vegan pizza cake tonight and wish us a happy birthday 🍕 🍰

Closing at 8pm tonight due to staff partying when they should be working…

To clarify for those struggling to see the sarcasm/humour here. One of the guys in the shop got invited to a party tonight and we agreed to close a bit earlier rather than leave the shop short staffed so he could go to the party (given we close permanently next weekend one staff member has already left to go travelling). I can assure you we’re a very happy family at Zad’s 😊 it seems most people commenting are in the US so presumably don’t get British sarcasm/humour

Just 2 more Zads weekends left, and for this weekend only, the special you folks voted for as your 2nd favourite; our Christmas special, The Festive Feast returns!
We realise it's a heatwave in July but you chose this and we reckon if you just ask for the cranberry sauce off in the notes, you can just treat it as an entirely acceptable, year-round Sunday roast! 👍🏼
The pizza itself is a gravy base with maple-roasted carrots, parsnips and Brussel sprouts, our cheese mix, thyme, gravy-marinated "turkey" pieces, stuffing balls and a dash of cranberry sauce. Get it while stocks last! 🎅🏽🎁
