Ziggy Green

Ziggy Green is a London restaurant with an Australian-inspired contemporary brief, casual dress code, $$ price point. Approach it as a casual meal built around bold, recognisable signatures, not formal fine dining. The appeal is less ceremony than an easy, modern rhythm: settle in, choose the known headline orders, let the signatures do the explaining.

The food case rests on those signatures. Order the dishes that explain the concept fastest: chargrilled Australian banana prawns with fermented mango hot sauce, the sharing shepherd’s pie, a flaming tomahawk steak if the table wants a centrepiece. Together, they move from punchy seafood to comfort-led sharing food and a theatrical steak moment. Drinks can include the Major Tom cocktail or the When Ziggy Played Guitar cocktail. Overall, it is casual, contemporary, suited to diners who want Australian-inspired cooking in London without an overly structured meal.

Go for the signatures, not a formal format

Ziggy Green is not best described by claims about a tasting-menu format, chef-counter setup, or specific room size. The grounded reason to go is simpler: Australian-inspired contemporary cooking at a $$ price point, with clear signature dishes and cocktails. Treat it as a restaurant where the known dishes are the anchor, not somewhere to decode through formats, accolades, or technical promises that are not part of the public record here.

For a first visit, build the meal around the banana prawns, sharing shepherd’s pie, or flaming tomahawk steak, depending on table size and appetite. The prawns show the brighter, bolder side of the brief, especially with fermented mango hot sauce; the shepherd’s pie is the communal, familiar order; and the tomahawk is the option when the group wants a centrepiece. If drinks are part of the plan, the Major Tom and When Ziggy Played Guitar cocktails are the named signatures to know, fitting the same idea of choosing recognisable highlights rather than overcomplicating the booking.

Who should book it, who should skip it

Book it if you want a casual London restaurant with an Australian-inspired point of view and high-impact signature dishes. It suits a table comfortable ordering around the known highlights and letting the meal feel contemporary rather than formal. Skip it if the priority is a confirmed tasting-menu experience, a venue defined by awards, or a meal built around details that are not part of the public record here.

The value proposition is direct: Ziggy Green sits at a $$ price point, has a casual dress code, offers a contemporary Australian-inspired restaurant experience in London. The strongest planning hook is the signature food and cocktails, not claims about seating, dietary policies, outdoor service, or specific meal periods. In practical terms, go because the banana prawns, shepherd’s pie, tomahawk steak, named cocktails match the meal you want.
