You can get a five-course Spanish feast delivered to your door during lockdown

If you’ve not had a holiday since before the first lockdown way back in March you’re probably starting to feel some serious cabin fever, and just want to get away to the sun to drink sangria and eat tapas all day.

Well, while you can’t do that right now, La Bandera is offering the next best thing, as they’ve reintroduced their incredibly popular ‘Journey Through Spain‘ series of Taster Menus to sample at home.

That means that each week you can sample a unique five-course taster menu from different regions of Spain, all to be enjoyed within the comfort of your own home.

Starting this week (November 13th, 14th and 15th), your Journey Through Spain begins in the ‘Wild North‘ with dishes specially inspired by the rolling hills, green pastures and wild seas of the north, including influences from the Basque region and the forests and mountains of the Pyrenees.

The ‘Wild North’ menu includes Galician Octopus served on a bed of roast potatoes, Homemade White Bean Stew with chorizo and Spanish black pudding, Seabass with Garlic, Chilli and Spanish Paprika, Slow-cooked Oxtail and finished with a traditional homemade Almond Cake.

The five-course tasting menu for two costs just £50 and comes with a bottle of wine to share. You can alternatively order the experience with a wine flight, offering you paired wines with every course, for just £80.

A full five-course restaurant taster menu experience, with wine flight for just £40 each? Not bad at all!

Following on from the ‘Wild North’ this weekend, each subsequent week will feature a new region of Spain to explore, from the Canary Islands (20th, 21st, 22nd) to the Mediterranean Sea (27th, 28th, 29th).

The journey will come to an end on the weekend of December 4th with a ‘La Bandera Special‘ – a selection of the restaurant’s very best and most popular dishes, all expertly paired with wines and prepared for you at home.

Each Tasting Menu is available for delivery or collection from the La Bandera website (below). If you want to purchase them all you can do – for £230 with wine or £345 with wine flights.
