Tapas

These are a must for a Spanish theme. Tapas consists of small bowls of delicious, authentic food that can be found all over Spain.

Paella 

All of our paellas are made using the finest quality and most authentic ingredients and are cooked in the traditional pans over gas burning rings in front of your guests. This way we can ensure people are getting the most unique and authentic experience without having to travel to Spain.

There are many different types of paella from the classic Valenciana to Fideua and each region has its own version. Paella is typically a rice dish with a crispy bottom called a Socarrat, jewelled with flecks of seafood, shellfish and meat.

  • Classic seafood paella – Made using a mixture of shellfish including clams, mussels and prawns as well as a mixture of white fish.
  • Classic meat paella – Made using a mixture of pork and chicken pieces, (rabbit is also available subject to its season).
  • Classic vegetable paella – Made using a mixture of seasonal vegetables.
  • Mixed paella – Made using a mixture of both meat and shellfish.
  • Squid ink paella (Traditional to the north of Spain) – Made using squid ink to colour the rice.
  • Lobster and langoustine paella – Made using the freshest lobster and langoustines available.
  • Fideua – Traditional paella originating from Valencia. It is made using short spaghetti like noodles instead of rice and typically includes both fish and meat.

**ALL ARE SERVED WITH CRUSTY BREAD AND HOUSE SALAD**
