Paella Sundays
a Sunday tradition
Paella is more than a meal, it’s a way of life on Sunday
Families and friends gather around the table for long lunches filled with conversation, wine, & the unmistakable aroma of saffron, stock & smoky socarrat cooking over the pan.
From the seafood-rich coastal styles of Valencia to mountain-inspired regional variations filled with rabbit, chicken, beans or seasonal produce — every part of Spain brings its own story to Paella.
Join us every Sunday lunch as we celebrate this iconic Spanish tradition with a rotating exploration of regional Paella styles, matched with great wine, shared plates, and the kind of relaxed Sunday atmosphere these dishes were made for.
Come hungry, bring friends, and discover why paella has remained at the heart of Spanish Sunday dining for generations. Experience a different Paella each Sunday as the main course in our set menu.

Paella de Costillas
- paella with pork ribs
Pork rib paella originated in the inland, mountainous areas of Valencia and Castellón, where rural communities relied on farming and livestock rather than the sea. Born out of 19th-century peasant resourcefulness, pork ribs served as a practical, affordable alternative to scarcer proteins like chicken or rabbit. Field workers combined local short-grain rice with these accessible cuts to create a hearty, filling midday meal.
This variation fundamentally changed the dish's flavour and texture. As the ribs seared, they rendered rich fats and gelatin into the pan, eliminating the need for expensive olive oil and infusing the rice with deep flavour. This abundant pork fat caramelised beautifully against the pan, making it historically prized for easily achieving the perfect socarrat—the crunchy, savoury crust at the bottom of the rice.
* We are offering Paella to pre-booked tables and may not be able to cater for walk-in’s on the day. A limited Sunday a la carte menu is also available for walk-ins on the day. A 10% Sunday surchage applies to all food & beverages.
