Last chance for Streetfood Night, Christmas Quiz dates and our Christmas canapés
What a week. On Tuesday we had a fabulous wine tasting in the bar at Hanover Street with Clara Verhelj of Bodegas Bentomiz, the Sunday Times has been writing about Torreznos de Soria that sent our online shop into meltdown, and the response to last week's Christmas canapés launch has been incredible. Thank you!
So here is the snapshot. Your last opportunity to book on Thursday's Spanish Streetfood Night at Lunyalita, where we will be cooking a giant steak and kidney paella in front of you and serving the dirtiest bravas you have ever seen. Today we also open bookings for four Christmas Quiz nights; they are profoundly popular, book quickly! And we have listed every one of our Christmas canapés below (due to popular request), with a description of each. Don't leave it too late to order these for Christmas or any of our superb Christmas stock for gifts and treats - they're running out!
With love and huge gratitude,
Peter, Elaine, Tom, Dave, Alina, Marina and the whole Lunya crew xxx

Spanish Streetfood Night: a giant steak & kidney paella and the dirtiest bravas in the world!
This is going to be an exceptional night
In the bar at Lunyalita, spilling onto the terrace (weather permitting), a night of the very best Spanish streetfood, each dish matched with a great Spanish drink.
The big moment: a giant Steak & Kidney Paella, cooked in front of you and served straight from the pan. Rich, glorious and not like any paella you have had before.
And the other big one: our Very Dirty Patatas Bravas, where you choose your own toppings. Go wild.

Book here nowOur Christmas Food, Drink & Music Quiz: four dates, hundreds of places
Undoubtedly the highlight of the festive season, and so popular that we are now running four of them to give hundreds of people the chance to come. Our legendary quizzes have been going for 15 years, and this is the biggest of the year. Fun, anarchic and a great excuse to get your Christmas glad rags on (come in your best Christmas outfits!) and sing and dance away to Christmas hits.
You will taste food and drink and answer questions on it, then get stuck into a live music round of 10 Christmas classics, all played flamenco style, with some great tapas or ourfestive tapas banquet along the way. Get a group of friends, family or work colleagues together for the best night out going.
Four Fridays, four chances
£2 per person entrance, half of which forms the prize pot and half goes to our charity of the year, Merseyside Against Blood Cancers. You simply order whatever food and drink you fancy on the night. These always sell out, so book now.

Torreznos de Soria: the Sunday Times has spoken, and we completely agree
Restock coming very soon
Two weekends ago the Sunday Times ran an article on Torreznos de Soria, arguing they may be the very best food to come out of Spain. We would not disagree, they are utterly addictive. If you have been to some of our tastings this year, you may very well have tried them.
We are about the only place in the UK that sells them, and ours are the real originals from Moreno Saez of Soria. Our online shop went ballistic and we were cleaned out, selling many hundreds. We are desperately trying to restock and should have them in very soon. When they come in, don't miss your chance to order them and try them at home.

The full range: nine canapés, created by Peter & Dave, made by our chefs
The response to last week's announcement has been incredible, so here is every one of them, with what is in the box. All are perfect for Christmas Eve, Christmas night, New Year's Eve and anything in between, and far better than those supermarket Christmas nibbles that look good but taste of nothing.
Catalan Pigs in Blankets
Butifarra chipolatas wrapped in smoked panceta, with a glorious drizzle of miel de caña (Spanish sugarcane molasses) applied half way through cooking.
Pre-order →Catalan Devils on Horseback
Large, juicy Medjool dates stuffed with Valdeón blue cheese and wrapped in our paprika-rubbed smoked panceta from León. Sweet, salty and sensational.
Pre-order →Turkey and Sage Croquetas with Cranberry Sauce
The ubiquitous Spanish snack, full of oozing béchamel flavoured with turkey, sage and onion, breadcrumbed and deep fried, and served with cranberry sauce. A Spanish classic with British Christmas flavours.
Pre-order →Morcilla Cojones
One of our most popular tapas: balls of morcilla (Spanish black pudding) rolled in cornflakes and deep fried, served with an orange blossom honey and pomegranate molasses sauce. Packed with flavour.
Pre-order →Albóndigas Spears
The very same meatballs we make in the restaurant, a blend of pork and beef mince from Edges of New Ferry with our own herbs and spices, in our outrageously rich sofrito sauce. They come on long pincho sticks for easy eating.
Pre-order →Mini Chorizo Sausage Rolls
A sensation since we first made them in 2010, and the same recipe, now in cocktail size. Chorizo blended with minced pork, a touch of smoked chilli jam, cheese and fennel seeds, in puff pastry.
Pre-order →Sausagemeat and Cranberry Tartlets
Mini pastry tartlets filled with pork, sage and onion sausagemeat and topped with cranberry sauce. Christmas dinner in one bite.
Pre-order →Crispy Chicken Strip Bites and Catalan Dip
One of our most popular dishes in the restaurant. Chicken strips marinated in buttermilk and pimentón, battered in our special spiced flour, deep fried and seasoned with our own blend of Spanish spices. Served with our Catalan Dip, a soured cream dip with smoked paprika, sundried tomato and garlic.
Pre-order →Mince Pie Blondies
Unique to Lunya! Super gooey, rich and chewy blondies made with Belgian white chocolate, mincemeat, dried fruit and Christmas spices. Melt in the mouth, and most definitely Christmas in your mouth. Serve at room temperature or very gently warmed. (These arrive ambient, not frozen, and can be frozen for up to 3 months.)
Pre-order →How it works: you pre-order now and choose your delivery date at checkout, any day from 7th to 23rd December. Orders are open until 20th November. Everything is ready to reheat or simply cook at home, with full instructions supplied, and arrives deep chilled or frozen, packed with WoolCool insulation and freezer packs. Use within three days or freeze on arrival. We do all the rest.
