The helpful staff make you feel like you’ve been theremany times before, as I’m sure plenty have, and the only dilemma is deciding whatno to have. Starters were a plate of thinly sliced and succulent Iberian ham, fromthe acorn-fed black foot pig and pimientos padron (crispy, fried green pepperssprinkled with salt).The mains are equally flavoursome, including pulpo a la gallega (tenderoctopus brushed with olive oil and paprika), calamares con arroz negro (blackrice and squid), albondingas (Herb infused Spanish meatballs, pictured) andthe remarkable huevos rotos con chorizo y gambas (fried eggs, sliced friedpotatoes, chorizo and prawn), which was almost a meal in itself. Not forgettingan impressive wine list with a choice from, not only Spain, but Portugal too, a triphere makes for a wonderful end to your fun-packed day.
