Heritage of the Dish

We are lucky in Spain to have some of the best seafood in the world. The north of Spain is renowned for its seafood culture, giant langoustines, juicy red prawns, percebes. There are many fishing villages and markets where you can go and buy the fish straight from coming off the boat, this is one of my favourite things to do.

Gambas al ajillo reminds me of summer & takes me back to times of having lunch overlooking the beautiful sea and sipping on a chilled albarino with friends. Your kitchen is going to be filled with beautiful aromas of the garlic sizzling away. I’ve added zesty orange into the orzo pasta which gives it a vibrant summery feel & taste, this is a delicious accompaniment to the garlicy prawns.

Spanish cuisine is known for its bold, sun-drenched flavours and simple cooking that highlights exceptional ingredients. From coastal dishes like gambas al ajillo to saffron-rich rice and pasta, it reflects a deep connection to both land and sea. Olive oil, garlic and spice form the backbone of many traditional recipes. This menu brings those classic Spanish flavours together in a vibrant, modern way.

Hero Ingredients

Saffron

Saffron is prized for its delicate floral aroma, vibrant golden colour and subtle sweetness. When steeped, its fine threads infuse rice, broths and sauces with rich fragrance and depth, bringing an unmistakable touch of luxury to any dish.

Raw King Prawns

Sourced from a family-run farm on the Devon coast, these raw king prawns are prized for their sweet flavour and succulent texture. Carefully selected for quality and freshness, they bring a taste of the sea to every dish.
