La Casita - "Little House" in English - restaurant in Guildford offers a warm, lively atmosphere in which to enjoy Mediterranean and Spanish cuisine. The venue provides a unique experience where guests can enjoy the famous short eats as well as an authentic flavour of the Mediterranean from Spanish tapas and paella to succulent fresh fish, meat and salads.

The word 'tapas' is derived from the Spanish verb 'tapar', meaning 'to cover'. According to legend, the tapas tradition began when Castile's King, Alfonso the Wise, recovered from an illness by drinking wine mixed with small dishes between meals. After regaining his health, the King ordered that taverns were not allowed to serve wine to customers unless the beverage was accompanied by a small snack or tapa.

Start with garlic and lemon fried prawns in lime, sherry, and garlic sauce. For main course try the seafood casserole of cod, mussels, tiger prawns and squid served in a rich garlic, chilli and tomato sauce, which can be shared the tapas way.
