The new restaurant launched with a soft opening the first weekend of July after the owners lept into action to take over the site and redecorate.

Following a fresh lick of paint, new wallpaper and Spanish-inspired decor, Casa La Siesta, has been given a new lease of life - and it has already been going down a treat with locals.

The extensive menu consists of dishes including patatas bravas, gambas al pil pil, albondigas, paella de carne as well as a dessert menu that features tarta de santiago.
