SET MENUS

Our tapas are plates designed to share – our set menus consist of a selection from our tapas menu, served to the table little by little so there are a lot of delicious flavours for everyone in the group to share.

Sharing a selection of tapas is a very social and interactive way to dine and we hope you will enjoy the variety.
