Zerodegrees Blackheath is a family run microbrewery and restaurant on Montpelier Vale, founded in 2000 as the original site of the group. Brewing equipment occupies the centre of the venue, allowing guests to see beer being made while chefs work beside a visible wood fired pizza oven. The large, relaxed space connects freshly brewed pints with an Italian inspired menu built for casual lunches, dinners and groups.
Starters include arancini filled with mozzarella, spinach and peas, beer battered cod, crisp calamari and king prawns cooked with garlic, tomato and chilli. Burrata with tomatoes, bruschetta, dough balls and a board of roasted vegetables broaden the sharing selection. Olives and smoked almonds offer a simple accompaniment for anyone visiting primarily to explore the beer.
Wood fired pizzas range from Margherita and pepperoni to combinations such as wild boar with nduja, pear with gorgonzola, roasted aubergine and wild mushrooms with truffle. Pasta includes seafood linguine, carbonara and wild mushroom linguine, while mussels can be cooked with white wine and cream or brighter sauces. Salads and vegan cheese or gluten free bases make the menu adaptable for different diners.
Beer is brewed onsite in styles that include session lager, pilsner, pale ale, black lager, mango beer and changing special releases. The fresh brewery character makes these drinks a natural match for the pizza dough, beer batter and pots of mussels. Wine, cocktails and alcohol free beer extend the drinks list, while changing desserts provide a sweet conclusion to a lively restaurant and brewery experience.
