Sociable Spanish cooking over fire
Taken from the Spanish word, ‘parrilla’, meaning grill, our two restaurants, Coal Drops Yard in King’s Cross, and Borough Yards in London Bridge, celebrate Spanish cooking over fire. Parrillan serves Spanish para picar, arroces, and a choice of beautiful meat, seafood, and vegetables. At Coal Drops Yard these items are mostly cooked by guests on their own mini-parrillas. At Borough Yards, our chefs have an ambitious menu of their own, served inside and outside.
