“And every Thursday night will be fiesta night with traditional paella cooked in the centre of the restaurant, comprising two of the chef’s choice tapas to start followed by a plate of paella and sangria to wash it all down for only £9.95 per person.”
La Vida’s delicious tapas selection includes meat dishes of: Spanish black pudding in a red wine reduction; Spanish chorizo sausage cooked in red wine; spicy lamb meatballs in a rich tomato sauce and an Iberico platter featuring Serrano ham, chorizo Iberico, three Spanish cheeses, bread and olives.
