Wait, you blinked!
As part of our Sol Y Mar menu, ending this Sunday, September 13th, we're serving up incredible flavors.

Grab our Crispy Chicken Stone Fired Panuozzo Flatbread Sandwich alongside a Tinto Sangria Cocktail—the sweet, spicy hot honey tastes amazing with a cold, zesty sip of Sangria. One bite leads to a sip, and before you know it: plate cleared, glass empty!

Crispy Chicken Panuozzo: Loaded with hot honey, romesco sauce, manchego & rocket.
Tinto Sangria: A vibrant blend of Spanish Tempranillo Cabernet Sauvignon, enriched with smooth brandy and zesty Triple Sec. topped with refreshing lemonade & a medley of fresh seasonal fruit.

It's worth every bite, but it's only here through Sunday! Book your table or view our full menu: https://aucklandproject.org/restaurant/el-castillo/

El Castillo's new Sol y Mar menu is ruining dinner plans...

Living North's Faye Dixon came to Bishop Auckland to try our new Sol y Mar summer menu and left having tackled a Spanish Burger, a serrano ham and chorizo flatbread, loaded patatas bravas and, naturally, churros.

A heroic effort.

Her verdict? Big portions, bold Spanish flavours and plenty of reasons to come back for round two.

And why not go for a wander around the Deer Park and burn off that churros?

Thanks to Living North for coming along and for taking the phrase "we'll just order something to share" as seriously as we do.
