Pintxos Evening

Pintxos are one of the most enjoyable ways to graze and eat in a buzzy and lively atmosphere. Pronounced ‘pinchos’, they are typically finger-food, particularly popular in the Basque region of northern Spain known for their creative and often elaborate combinations of ingredients. They are often served on skewers or toothpicks, and are typically eaten standing up in bars before lunch or dinner. Eat as many or as few pintxos as you like - the idea is to graze the many plates of tapas on the bar counter - including a few sweet ones. Perhaps pair each one with a different wine. Whatever you choose, you can expect a vibrant evening, full of great food and drink, in the wonderful setting of the Strawberry Tree. These evenings are really popular so booking a table is a good idea. Please to book or book online.

Spaces are limited so book early to secure your preferred date and time. Mini Milling sessions are suitable for children age 4+ and they must be accompanied by an adult at all times. The experience costs £15 per group and includes a 30 minute mini milling session, a 500g bag of wholemeal flour and a recipe card to take away. Maximum group size of 5.
