Load up at Lunya

CHEESE, chocolate, charcuterie or sherry – you can get it all at Lunya, to sample on site or to take away and enjoy at home. Dedicated to all food and drink things Catalan, you can discover Peter and Elaine Kinsella’s proudly independentand multi-award-winning deli, restaurant and barin Barton Arcade off Deansgate, and also online as the UK’s largest online Spanish deli with over 1,300 different productsand ingredients you’re unlikely to find anywhere else over here.

Lunya owners Peter and Elaine make the trip to Catalunya (the local word for Catalonia, and where you’ll find Barcelona, Girona and Tarragona) throughout the year to source direct from suppliers. Having developed unique relationships with some of the smallest artisan producers in Spain, they can boast a shop full of 40 imported cheeses (and counting), the UK’s largest range of Spanish beers, wines, cavas, sherries and spirits (including gin), and a superb selection of genuine jamón – all hand carved from the bone by the talented team.

“To spread the love of Spanish food and drink culture even more, Lunya is the go-to place for interesting events from ham-carving masterclasses to tasting sessions.”

 Meanwhile, the restaurant serves up both meaty and veggie platters and paellas, and its tasty tapas makes the most of seasonal and regional goodies, such as woodland mushrooms and Arbequina olive oil, and authentic recipes such as slow-cooked Estofado ox cheeks and home-made albóndigas.

To spread the love of Spanish food and drink culture even more, Lunya is the go-to place for interesting events from ham-carving masterclasses to tasting sessions: on the cards are Spanishgin (January), wine (February), cheese (March) and sherry (April).
