Well that proved popular
Last week, we introduced an across the board big reduction in our retail pricing in the deli and online - across all of our thousand plus products. A combination of better weather and harvests in Spain last year and better yields, inflation is slowing, our suppliers securing better prices with producers and in turn our own securing better prices with our suppliers, and our own review of every expense, together with a determination by our team to pass on as much of this to you as possible, has resulted in our biggest ever price drop since we opened in 2010.

Doing our bit to stimulate this moribund economy and alleviate the current cost of living crisis. Well it worked! We haven't gone broke (yet!) We are testing out a theory that if we pass all those savings on and drop our prices further, we will get more people shopping with us (online and in the deli) and do just as well or hopefully better. We have seen a fabulous spike of retail sales; thank you so much. If you haven't visited the deli or or our online store in awhile, there is no better time. So what are you waiting for? Prove our theory right !

Last week we had a superb Quinta Sardonia winemakers dinner with an exceptional vertical tasting of multiple vintages of Quinta Sardonia and an exceptional menu put together by exec chef Dave Upson; plus we had our ever popular cheese and wine tasting. And did you catch our Lunya X China tapas for the Lunar New Year? We have plenty more special events coming up this year. Watch this space.

Mothers Day

Right now, all our attention is on Mothers Day - less than three weeks away. we have our best ever value Mothers Day menu - our Tapas Banquet for just £29 per person and Kids Eat Free if their parents dine from it. A family of four can have Liverpool's best Mothers Day meal for less than £60. You won't get better value or quality than that. Read all about it plus our Mothers Day Cook at Home packs - still time to book!

Thank you all so much - from Peter, Elaine, Tom, Dave, Alina and Marina and all of the Lunya team xxx

Mothers Day 2026

Always a very special day (and a very poignant one when you have sadly lost yours. My own mother, Joan, a huge inspiration behind Lunya, is never far from my thoughts, and I still always think what would she say about any idea I have for the business)

Gen Z wine Tasting - Discover Wine (aimed specifically at 'youngsters'!) – 5th March 2026

Before you read any further, could you forward this to any children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews (Anyone over 18 of course). This event is for them.

A first for the UK and Liverpool! Hosted in the fabulous setting of the upstairs dining room at Lunyalita overlooking the Albert Dock. If you have never really tried wine (or not found one you like), or are put off by it (maybe by the daft snobbery around wine), or maybe you prefer beer, cider or spirits, then this night is aimed at you. And it is just £35 for 10 wines and tapitas too. Everyone of every (legal) age welcome.

This night is aimed at anyone new to wine or who wants to find out the wines they like and don’t like. Maybe you are put off ordering wine because you are not sure what to have on the wine list, what it all means and you don’t ant to waste your money. Whilst this night is aimed at anyone who wants to discover what wine they like, we think it will be particularly relevant to ‘younger’ people – in their 20s to 30s who have never really tried wine or discovered what rocks your boat. We won’t be using any daft language, this will be a fun, relaxed and informative night. You will try a wide range of red and white wines, we will help you to find out what you like and then what to look for next time you go out. You will try 10 different ones; the one you like best, you will have a nice large glass to drink with a great selection of tapas. All with people in a similar position. An opportunity to ask questions and get to know your favourite wine – all in the usual relaxed Lunya way
