Ibérica Food & Culture, the company that brings only the very best in Spanish gastronomy, wine and culture to the UK through their restaurants, is opening an additional 2 restaurants having agreed a £2 million funding package with Santander Corporate & Commercial. The first of the 2 new sites opened in Farringdon, North London in April 2014, with a second site outside of London to be announced later in 2014.
7 more sites planned
Farringdon is the 4th site opening for Ibérica, following Great Portland St, Canary Wharf and Canary Wharf La Terraza, all overseen by Managing Director of Ibérica Restaurants Marcos Fernández. Ibérica is looking to open a further 7 sites over the next 3 years, as part of ambitious expansion plans.
No Ibérica is the same, each restaurant has been carefully designed and created to showcase a different and genuine Spanish experience. Guests will consistently experience the passion and expertise of Ibérica’s Executive Head Chef Nacho Manzano, who has an impressive 3 Michelin stars to his name, 2 from his celebrated restaurant Casa Marcial in Asturias, Spain.
Great, authentic Spanish food at a reasonable price
Marcos Fernandez Pardo, Managing Director of Ibérica Restaurants, said: “Ibérica has had phenomenal success since it was first launched six years ago. Our mantra has been to serve great, authentic Spanish food at a reasonable price, all from an ever-revolving menu created by Nacho Manzano. We are very excited about the next phase of our growth as we aim to reach 10 unique and authentically Spanish restaurants by the end of 2016.”
Simon Vallance, Relationship Director, Santander Corporate & Commercial, said: “Ibérica is a highly successful and respected restaurant run by a very strong management board with extensive experience. We are delighted to be able to support the business in this current growth phase, and look forward to working together again on future projects.”
