British Land, joint owner of Meadowhall, has today announced the opening of Tapas Revolution, the contemporary tapas bar, in Meadowhall, Yorkshire’s premier shopping destination.
The 2,400 sq ft tapas bar is situated on the upper level of The Oasis Dining Quarter and is the restaurant brand’s sixth location in the UK. Tapas Revolution Meadowhall has 70 covers and an in-house design team has created founder Omar Allibhoy’s personal interpretation of the lively and bustling tapas bars in his hometown of Madrid. The copper-topped bar, open kitchen, comfortable burnt orange leather banquettes and marble tables all showcase the feel of a tapas bar which wouldn’t look out of place on the busy streets of Madrid, Barcelona and Seville.
Founded bySpanish TV chef Omar Allibhoy, Tapas Revolution uses only the finest Iberian ingredients sourced from small artisan producers across Spain, with dishes all freshly prepared in-house by a team of Spanish chefs. Complementing the food is a selection of Spanish craft beers and wine served in a Catalonian style porrón – a traditional wine glass pitcher with a long spout.
Alice Keown, F&B Asset Manager for British Land, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Tapas Revolution to Meadowhall. The brand’s tapas bar concept sits perfectly with our existing mix of great dining brands, and is also a great complement to Meadowhall’s aspirational retailers.”
Founder of Tapas Revolution, Omar Allibhoy added: “The new Tapas Revolution in Meadowhall is my version of the tapas bars back home in Spain, and this location is great to showcase our delicious traditional food and grow the food scene in Sheffield. Meadowhall has many different cuisines and our Spanish tapas lends itself perfectly to the mix. The bar style allows visitors to stop for food or even just to have a drink with friends. I am pleased to bring a real taste of Spain to the North of England.”
This news follows Meadowhall’s very strong start to 2016, with work starting on the £60 million refurbishment of the centre. Conducted in a series of phases, Meadowhall’s transformation will be completed by the end of 2017.
