La Tasca, the Spanish tapas restaurant group, is to rollout its “Bar de Sangria” format across the majority of its 35-strong estate by the end of this month after a successful trial.
The bars will feature a selection of 15 different sangrias from the Favoritos & Clasico menu sections.
The move comes as the group confirmed that it was in legals on a new shell site at the refurbished NIA in Birmingham and that it also hopes to announce a further major acquisition shortly.
Simon Wilkinson, chief executive, said: “After a successful trial we are launching our Bar de Sangria concept into the majority of the La Tasca estate alongside our Bodegas Wine Bars & Cava Bars. Trade is very buoyant with our new La Tasca & Rioja Bar in Leadenhall trading ahead of expectations for this time of year.
“Next month we will launch a radical new improved menu in La Tasca the first major change since we switched from 85% frozen food to fresh food in October 2012. Our La Vina & Bellota sites successfully launched a new menu last week which has had amazing guest feedback.”
