PAELLA SATURDAYS AT EL PIRATA
Every Saturday from 14 November
There is a particular kind of Saturday lunch that is hard to find in Mayfair. Nowhere to be, a good bottle of wine, and the feeling that the afternoon is yours.
From 14 November, you can find it at El Pirata.
THE OFFER
Our two classics are always on – Paella Valenciana and Paella Marinera. And every fortnight, Chef Daniel adds a Paella de la Semana: a seasonal special, rooted in Spanish tradition and whatever the kitchen is excited about that week.
PAELLA DE LA SEMANA – THIS SEASON
14 & 21 November – Pork Short Ribs
Slow-cooked, tender, over rice that catches slightly at the bottom of the pan.
28 November & 5 December – Wild Mushroom
Earthy, warming. The right paella for the season.
12 & 19 December – Lobster
Indulgent. The one to book ahead for.
THE WINE
Inurieta Blanco – Navarra Sauvignon Blanc
Tarima Rosé – Monastrell
Viña Muriel Crianza – Rioja Tempranillo
Pitch of Sangria – red or white
Aldea 0.0% – Muscat Sparkling, alcohol-free
José and the team are happy to help you choose if you are in doubt.
MAKE AN AFTERNOON OF IT
Start with Pimientos de Padrón while the paella is on. The full tapas menu is always available alongside — and if the afternoon takes you further, finish with churros con chocolate caliente, £8.
Your table, your pace.
Walk-ins are welcome while the paella lasts. Book ahead to be sure of a table.
