CANARIAS
Thursday 30th May 2019 at 7pm
7 courses (+ optional wine flight): £29
As La Bandera’s influences are heavily rooted in the Canary Islands, it’s only right that the first stop on our journey be here. You might know them for their cheap holidays and raucous nightlife, but did you know that the Canary Islands are home to some of the most beautiful and culturally varied food in the whole of Spain? Expect diverse spices, rich earthy flavours from the volcanic soil and plenty of fish on this menu.

ANDALUCÍA
Thursday 25th July 2019 at 7pm
7 courses (+ optional wine flight): £29
Sure, Andalucía might be lacking in the beautiful beaches and sunny weather, but what lacks in general ‘holiday’ appeal, it makes up for with one of the richest cultural heritages in the whole of Spain. Things are quite rustic here so expect dishes like Salmorejo Con Jamon (tomato soup with ham), Octopus Salad and Rabo De Toro (slow cooked oxtail in red wine) on this menu. From the picturesque mountains to the rolling countryside and cave-ridden rocky coast, Andalucía is one of the most unique parts of Spain and we’ve no doubt you are going to love every taste at La Bandera.

NORDESTE
Thursday 26th September 2019 at 7pm
7 courses (+ optional wine flight): £29
Bordered by the Mediterranean Sea and the Pyrenees Mountains, cuisine from the North East region of Spain will bring nostalgia of fond summer holidays with dishes like Paella Valenciana, Bacalao Al Romesco, and the vanilla cream custard dessert Crema Catalana – Flavours of the true Mediterranean with a super relaxed attitude to match in this seven-course extravaganza.

CENTRAL
Thursday 28th November 2019 at 7pm
7 courses (+ optional wine flight): £29
Spain’s central region is a land of contrasts between the old and the new – the traditional and the ultra-modern. The cosmopolitan capital of Madrid is known for its cutting edge and Avant Garde approach to Spanish cuisine meanwhile the surrounding towns are full of history and traditions where old cooking methods are kept alive. This central region of Spain is home to the finest selection of cured meats and cheeses as well as some of the most iconic dishes like the world-famous Tortilla Espanola, Churros and Bocadillo de Calamares.

NOROESTE
Thursday 30th January 2020 at 7pm
7 courses (+ optional wine flight): £29
If anything was to dispel the myth that Spain is just a land of sunshine, beaches, paella and sangria it would be the picturesque countryside of the North West. The Basque country resides here, which is famous for its culinary culture and traditions. The wet climate makes the fishing and livestock industries one of the primary economy sources. Expect dishes like Galician Octopus, Croquetas de Chipiron (squid ink croquettes), Seabass in garlic and Spanish paprika sauce and of course the Basque-favourite Pinxtos.
