History
Established in 2019.
Chef and Founder Pepe comes from Murcia in south-eastern Spain, and brings his passion for traditional home style food from tapas to paella, coupling the best-loved traditional Spanish dishes with Murcian regional specialities. He built his reputation in the bar-restaurant of the same name, Meson El Callejon, in Los Alcazares, Murcia, where it quickly became an established favourite (rated 4.5* on TripAdvisor) with locals and tourists alike, not just for the food but above all the personal touch and his care for his clientele. So much so, in fact, that one of his customers grasped the opportunity to bring Pepe and Meson Callejon to London.
Pepe bases his food on the freshest produce and essential ingredients imported directly from Spain. All his dishes have his personal touch, but be sure to try his speciality Pollo Customizado (literally "customised chicken") or Secreto Iberico ("Spanish Secret").
