- FAQ

How much walking is involved?
All our tapas bars are within an easy 5 - 10 min walk from each other on generally flat ground. There is a short 5 min walk up a hill at the start but is manageable for most people
Is the food and wine sufficient to replace dinner?
Absolutely. We serve full tapas and normal glasses of wine so no tasting samples, ample for a night out and nobody has ever left hungry.
Do you cater for food intolerances or specific diets?
We aim to give you an exploration of the great variety of tapas so many may not be suitable for specific diets. We can cater for vegetarians, pescatarians and coeliac intolerance. We CANNOT cater for vegan diets or nut allergies as most kitchens are very small and a total absence of nuts in the preparation space cannot be guaranteed.
