Twisted Tapas Tales



Join us for authentic Catalan flavours with modern spins and travel-inspired variations in Twisted Tapas Tales, to be held at a secret venue on Saturday the 8th of October.

We've created 14 taster dishes for the event with highlights such as quail egg croquettas topped with iberico, the 21st Century Spanish omlet, seared sirloin topped with chimmichiri and toasted almonds, and gazpacho surprises. We've tapped into our local contacts to make sure our supplies of the best chorizo and jamon are plentiful!

The meal will be paired with 4 carefully chosen wines which will be fully explored by Elisa, our sommelier. We'll kick off the evening at 7.30pm with a welcome cocktail - something twisted and tasty!

RSVP on Wednesday the 28th of October by emailing onceuponatable@gmail.com between 3-4pm.
