Page 1 Welcome Lunya is the UK`s first Catalonian fusion restaurant

Welcome
”
Lunya is the UK’s first Catalonian fusion restaurant and deli - combining produce and recipes from
Catalunya (and the rest of Spain) with the finest artisan produce from the North West of England
and beyond.
Our menu makes great use of our huge range of authentic Spanish ingredients from the deli
counter, sourced from only the finest artisan producers in Spain – many of whom are up to sixth
generation farmers, ranging from cheese makers, to meat curers and food manufacturers who
still work to centuries’ old recipes and methods.
Complementing our high quality Spanish ingredients, we source the majority of our meat, fish,
fruit and vegetables from local butchers, fishmongers and farms within Merseyside, Cheshire,
Lancashire and North Wales – allowing us to support local producers and our local economy.
Fresh meat is supplied daily by the multi-award winning Edges of New Ferry who provide
complete traceability of local traditional rare breeds that are used on our menu to give a long
forgotten deep meat flavour. Wards of Birkenhead supply much of our fish; their high quality
produce is caught using ethical and sustainable methods, with as much as possible coming from
the shores of the North West and North Wales.
At Lunya, our menu changes regularly to reflect the changing seasons and we aim to provide you
with the best food on the market and truly believe the flavours will shine through. If you would like
any help or advice about the menu, please ask a member of staff who will be more than willing to
give you any pointers to help in choosing.
Here at Lunya, we aim to be a great community business, an excellent employer and ultimately a
restaurant and deli where the passion for our food shines through. We want our service to be the
best there is, and go to great pains to develop and support our staff to provide this. I started
Lunya to share my own passion for food and in particularly my passion for Catalunya, and Spain in
general; I do hope you like our take on it.
When you are here at Lunya, we want you to feel great about your experience and want to return.
If we fall short of our standards, or if there is anything you would like us to do differently, don’t
hesitate to let me or any of my staff know – it is the only way we can really achieve our aspirations.
Buen provecho and bon profit!

About Tapas
The concept of dining with tapas is very different to the traditional 3 course meal. The origin of a tapa comes from its
meaning as ‘lid’, where bars would put a small piece of bread on top of a drink to keep flies away! Over the centuries,
this has evolved to small plates of both simple and very fancy food.
Tapas are for sharing! We would advise about 4 dishes per person as a guide, but do not have them all at once! We will
split them up and bring them both as they are ready and in a sequence that keeps your table top manageable and paces
the dishes out, sometimes splitting them into courses. Share them with your dining partners and enjoy the very
different flavours, textures and look of each dish. Try some of our wonderful cold dishes straight from our wonderful
deli: conserved fish, cured meats and cheeses, all available as sharing platters too. Do not rush your food, enjoy it. Do
it the Spanish way, take your time! Food is more than just fuel; going out should be a memorable occasion, where you
can savour the flavour of the food and make it a social occasion. Dine the true Spanish tapas way and order a dish each,
some drinks, then when you have finished, do the same again, until you are full. The choice is yours!
Allergies and preferences
Please inform a member of staff if you have any food allergies and we will do our best to make our food work for you.
We have marked dishes on our menu which are not suitable for Coeliacs with a W . We can adapt many of our dishes to
leave out flour or offer gluten free bread as an alternative. We also use nuts in our kitchen, as almonds are such a
strong feature of Spanish cooking, therefore items marked with an N are not suitable for nut intolerances.
We hope, with our extensive menu, everyone can find plenty which they enjoy. Everything on our menu is made fresh to
order; so adding something, taking it away or adapting a recipe is no problem at all. Just let your server know and we’ll
be glad to oblige.
Special needs
We want you to enjoy your time with us; if you have any special needs, at all, please let us know. We have a fully
accessible toilet downstairs. Our menu is also available in large print.
Bones and bits
We use real meat and real fish. Despite our chefs being very skilled and careful in their preparation, the odd bone may
find its way into your meal and some of our dishes contain olives which may have the stones still in. Please be careful.
Tips
We pay all of our staff a good competitive market wage. Our staff have chosen their own tip policy; they have decided
that your server receives 60% of the tip and the remaining 40% goes into a pool that all the other staff share in. This
gets the balance right between individual and team performance. All of our team play a part in the delivery of great food
and service. We do not use tips to make up anyone’s salary, and do not use any part of a tip to boost the restaurant’s
revenue, whether you leave it as a cash or a credit card tip. We do not expect you to tip; please only do so if you think
your whole experience merits it, and then tip whatever you feel is right! For parties of 8 or more, we have a
discretionary 10% service charge.
Changing our menu
We believe passionately in seasonal food. We change our menu every few months to reflect the best available
ingredients. Make sure you look at our specials menu for new ideas and opportunities to use this week’s market fresh
ingredients. Keep checking our website or find us on Facebook or Twitter for regular updates about menu changes.
Even better, just come back again and again!
Recipes and ingredients
Please do not hesitate to ask for any of the recipes for our food, or about the ingredients. You will discover that we love
to tell you about them. Our deli will remain open all of the time the restaurant is. Please feel free to browse around
and buy anything at all, alternatively your server can fetch anything from the deli for you and add it to your final bill.
All restaurant diners who fill out our feedback card and present it to the deli on the way out will receive 10% off any
deli purchases that day.
Online shop
Don’t forget, everything from our deli is now available online via our web site www.lunya.co.uk, where you can order at
your convenience, delivery is available throughout the UK. We have one of the largest Spanish online delis in the UK!
