Call us on 01297 445757 – we would love to see you.

Strawberry Tree escaped to London today to attend the 36th edition of the Wines from Spain annual tasting. It was great to catch up with our friends at @ultracomida, @spanishwinebyultracomida and @morenowines as well as meeting potential new suppliers for the Strawberry Tree project. We were kindly fed by the amazing @brindisaspanishfoods - thank you!😃 We are especially excited to have met the passionate Antonio from @diatomists_wines who is starting a mini-revolution in the world of sherry On our way home full of inspiration and lots of exciting bottles to share! #slowspanishfood #strawberrytree #tapas #spanishfood #coloursofspain #lymeregis #foodanddrinkdorset #winesfromspain #wine

It’s almost that time of the year… the air filled with love and Cupid! As part of our half-term opening times, Strawberry Tree will be open on Tuesday 14th for romantic evening tapas. Moreover, use the phrase “Te Amo” when you book for 2 people on Valentines and get a glass of cava each. #slowspanishfood #strawberrytree #tapas #spanishfood #coloursofspain #lymeregis #foodanddrinkdorset #loveisintheair #valentines #secretadmirer #cupid #tapaslover

Oui chef.

Crossing continents... As we wave goodbye to North Africa, so the unmistakable silhouette of the 'Rock' looms into view. Gibraltar - the 'End of Europe' - is Giselle's family home and a true melting pot of cultures, food, religions. In many ways it is the spiritual home of Strawberry Tree too.

This morning we wandered the old medina in Tangier to buy some Ras el hanout for the restaurant from a merchant called Youssef 👳‍♀️. He paced his stall, basket in hand, carefully picking out handfuls of spices to blend. The mix differs from stall to stall, but his included five types of peppercorn, rose petals, dried saffron and galangal, aniseed, turmeric, mace... more than 22 in total, freshly ground to order. Can't wait to get our mix back to our kitchen...

Today we drove over to Tetouan and through the mountains up to the 'blue city' of Chefchaouen - famous for its blue colour and after 1471, home to the Moors fleeing Andalusia and Granada - very much tied with Giselle's heritage. Lunch included a beautiful chicken pastilla, candied carrots and stewed pumpkin with cinnamon. Inspiration all round 😋

Today we had an Arabian adventure. We met so many interesting people - shopkeepers, artists, restaurant owners, hoteliers... in the alleyways, back rooms and establishments of the ancient Medina. Like an episode out of Mr Benn 👳‍♀️🧕. Thank you 'Uncle Henry' & Priscilla for the best tagine and your beautiful company. ❤

Strawberry Tree is taking some time out to reconnect with its roots and draw inspiration for the new year. We're in Morocco for a few days visiting a friend and reminding ourselves how much shared culture there is between North Africa and southern Spain. And of course, eating 😋

What a night! We hosted our first Jazz @ Strawberry Tree last night to a sellout crowd. Huge thank you to la familia Jardine & Friends who treated us to the most extraordinary night of jazzy Christmas treats. For those of you who missed it -and those desperate for more- there will be more early next year… Subscribe to our newsletter to keep up to date. ¡Feliz Navidad a todos! #slowspanishfood #strawberrytree #tapas #spanishfood #coloursofspain #lymeregis #foodanddrinkdorset #jazz #music #livemusic

Calling all Baileys lovers! This is one not to miss… this chocolate Baileys praline bar is possibly the most decadent treat you will ever get your hands on.

Final day in Madrid before the team heads off on their separate journeys - and what a way to end our trip. A visit to the beautiful former house of the Spanish artist Joaquin Sorolla filled with his oil paintings; a little break for coffee and tortilla; then lunch and shopping. We have all lived a little slice of Spanish life for 3 days and enjoyed the Madrileño culture and nightlife - we will undoubtedly be back soon. ¡Hasta entonces Madrid! ❤

Day 2 in Madrid and more food than we can possibly handle! Basque pintxos, octopus, a Jamón masterclass, prawns galore, homemade bouquerones, among many… We even took in a matinee at the cinema to give us some digestion down-time 🙃. The crew have been having so much fun and enjoying every adventure just round the corner! #slowspanishfood #strawberrytree #tapas #spanishfood #coloursofspain #lymeregis #foodanddrinkdorset #pintxos #octopus #patatas #team

Day 1 in Madrid and we are already getting a real flavour of this town. Great bars and restaurants, fabulous markets filled with montaditos and tapas- all accompanied by Madrid’s very own Mahou cerveza. Fun fact from today's walking tour: Did you know Madrid is home to the second largest fish market in the world, despite being nowhere near the coast… #slowspanishfood #strawberrytree #tapas #spanishfood #coloursofspain #lymeregis #foodanddrinkdorset #touringmadrid #plaza #montaditos #cerveza #history

Strawberry Tree is going on tour! A few of us are off to Madrid to explore, eat and drink our way through the city's bars and restaurants. After an exciting full summer, we are taking a step back for most of November (7-24th) don’t worry- we will keep you updated on all the new things we will be doing/trying to bring back to Strawberry Tree, so that we can carry on giving you the true authentic Spanish style cuisine we all love. Follow our adventures on instagram every day next week! Hasta pronto🇪🇸🍓 #slowspanishfood #strawberrytree #tapas #spanishfood #coloursofspain #lymeregis #foodanddrinkdorset #research #Madrid #tapasabroad

Our lovely new hampers are finally in our shop.

A massive thank you to the amazing Trish from Somerset Membrillo who delivered our first batch of her new season quince membrillo last night that will accompany our pure sheeps milk manchego cheese on our autumn menu. #slowspanishfood #tapas #strawberrytree #quince #spanishfood #coloursofspain #lymeregis #foodanddrinkdorset #manchego

We are excited to announce we have managed to get our hands on the exquisite Muriel Gran Reserva 2011, which we are offering by the glass at the same price as our regular Rioja - but only for a limited time! Come and enjoy a glass of this 11-yr old beauty and a tapa or two… #slowspanishfood #tapas #strawberrytree #redwine #spanishfood #coloursofspain #lymeregis #foodanddrinkdorset #rioja #limitedtimeoffer #onceitsgoneitsgone

We often get asked, where does the Strawberry Tree name comes from? As you will see from the artwork on our walls and the trees outside our front doors, Strawberry Trees do exist. These pretty trees are the symbol of Madrid and are native to the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa. Prized for charcoal, tanning and medicinal properties - their fruit also makes a beautiful liqueur. The Strawberry Tree is deeply rooted in Iberian culture and is a great metaphor for our project. Come and see our trees for yourself! #slowspanishfood #strawberrytree #tapas #spanishfood #coloursofspain #lymeregis #foodanddrinkdorset #iberianpeninsula #inspiring #beautiful

Spanish croquetas are a labour of love. They take 2 days to make but are devoured in seconds. We make a fresh batch every other day and always with bechamel - not potato. We sell over 500 a week, so our croquetas never stop rollin’! #slowspanishfood #tapas #tapas #spanishfood #coloursofspain #lymeregis #foodanddrinkdorset #croquetas #flavours #smokedhaddock #wildmushroom #jamon

Giselle, Jas and Ed had the great pleasure to visit the Somerset Cider Brandy company (@somersetciderbrandy) this week where we had a fascinating behind-the-scenes tour. You will now find their Ice Cider alongside the moorish Kingston Black aperitif on our dessert wines list. A heartfelt thank you to Matilda and Julian for giving us so much time on the first day of their harvest. We are looking forward to working together more in 2022. #slowspanishfood #tapas #strawberrytree #tapas #spanishfood #coloursofspain #lymeregis #foodanddrinkdorset #applebrandy #somerset #cider #tastings #kingstonblack #artisandrinks #traditionalapples

Those that play together stay together… The Strawberry Tree family is the most important aspect of our whole business. On Tuesday night we marked the end of our 2022 summer season with magic (thank you @chrishowatmagic), delicious food, lots of drink and some great dance moves! For those of you who are sadly but excitingly moving on to the next chapter of their lives- we wish you all the best!

We have an amazing range of beautiful imported foodie gifts and wine. From our perfumed quince jelly and bottles of sangria to outrageously thick hot chocolate. Why not grab a coffee from us and treat yourself or a friend to something special. #slowspanishfood #tapas #spanishfood #coloursofspain #lymeregis #foodanddrinkdorset

Our Bereziartua Basque cider is traditionally poured from a height to add some spritz. Bereziartua make a deliciously tart cider that matches beautifully with our tapas. This is Emma showing us how it’s done. #morenowines #basquecider #northernspain #slowspanishfood #tapas #strawberrytree #tapas #spanishfood #coloursofspain #lymeregis #foodanddrinkdorset #summerdrinking

Staff family lunches are an important part of Strawberry Tree life and our “slow food” ethos. It’s our “siesta” time and gives us space for “sobremesa” - that elusive Spanish concept of just sitting around and chatting. ☺️ #slowspanishfood #tapas #foodanddrinkspain #spanishfood #dreamteam #lymeregis #foodanddrinkdorset #siesta

Lyme Regis’ best kept secret. The Strawberry Tree garden is at it’s peak- the Mulberry Tree is full of fruit, our herbs are flourishing and there are bees and butterflies everywhere🐝 Come and enjoy it for yourself. #slowspanishfood #tapas #strawberrytree #tapas #spanishfood #coloursofspain #lymeregis #foodanddrinkdorset #gardenlife #herbs #beautifulflowers #hiddentreasure

The Strawberry Tree’s beautiful garden is open for the rest of this week in the evenings from 6pm. We have an amazing range of Spanish wines and drinks plus some delicious bar snacks, so bienvenidos! The Strawberry Tree team 🍓

The pomegranate is an iconic fruit for us. Not only do we love using it in our food, but it is also the symbol of the magical city of Granada in Spain where Giselle’s family has its origins - in fact her surname even means “Son of Granada”. It hangs on our walls as a reminder of where our project has its roots and our love of this beautiful Spanish city. Come and see it for yourselves… #slowspanishfood #tapas #strawberrytree #tapas #spanishfood #coloursofspain #lymeregis #foodanddrinkdorset #granada #spain #roots #familyroots #artworkoftheday #pomegranate #pomegranatered #sonofgranada

Lovely 'do' to celebrate exhibiting Tessa Prescott's paintings in our new, extended restaurant. A feast for the eyes and the first of our 'more than a restaurant' events. We're planning courses, tastings and more exhibitions. Thanks to Sally @jurassicfeast for the great photo. The paintings are up until 24 May. If you'd like to be part of Strawberry Tree's great recipe, we're looking for day and evening front of house. More details later or just give Ed a ring now on 01297 445757.

Correction... in a moment of over-enthusiasm (not difficult) posted that we're open for lunch seven days a week. Wrong. We are open seven days a week, but on Tuesdays or Wednesdays only serve takeaway coffee and cake (and the shop's open). Really hope this doesn't spoil anybody's plans (although the home-made cake is delicious). Apologies if it does. #tapas #lymeregis #lightlunch #homemadecake #sorry

Sunday lunch doesn't have to be heavy. Goat's cheese salad, made and displayed by Giselle in the Strawberry Tree garden. #tapas #lightlunch #HappySunday #lymeregis #slowspanishfood #lunchout

Healthy and nutritious - our lunchtime Charcuterie Board. Available five days a week. Cake also available. #tapas #lymeregis #lunchout #sunshinefood #slowspanishfood #freshandfabulous #dorseteats

Art at Strawberry Tree A snippet from one of @tessaprescottstudio's large paintings, now on exhibition in the restaurant. Now we've got more space, we are going to exhibit work by artists that we ❤️. Tessa is the first. Tessa works on a large scale, in keeping with the grace and stature of the subjects - trees, water and the untamed corners of the countryside. She works from her studio in #LymeRegis. #LymeRegisArt #DorsetCountryside #foodforthemind #tapas #slowspanishfood

We threw a thank you party last night. It was a small thing to do for all the wonderful people who have helped us make Strawberry Tree the wonderful place it is. Mil gracias to each and every one. #greatfriends #thankyou #tapas #lymeregis #morethanarestaurant #sunshinefood

Vacancy Hours: 9am to 1pm (but we can be flexible) Days: Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We are looking for someone to work closely with Giselle and Kaspar in the kitchen. Any age or background, just someone who is happy prepping our small and simple but delicious lunch menu. Mornings in the kitchen are calm and peaceful, although there is Giselle's singing (sample on our Facebook page). You'll learn how to cook 'slow' Spanish food and sample cake. Kitchen experience is less important than who you are - someone who will fit in with the lovely people who are part of Strawberry Tree's very special recipe. We believe in investing in people who want to be with us long term. If you'd like to talk to us please telephone 01297 445757 for a time to come and see us. We're excited to meet you. Hasta luego, Ed and Giselle. #jobopportunity #lymeregis #lovewhereyouwork #workismorethanajob

Rice and pasta dishes are central to Catalan cuisine as the Ebro River valley grows a lot of high quality short grain rice. On our last day in Barcelona we got to try both paella and fideuà (a type of pasta cooked in a paella pan) - both great for outdoor summer eating at @strawberrytreelyme in our amazing garden 🥘 Thanks to @anetonatural for the samples at @alimentariabcn 😋 y adios BCN. #arroces #paella #slowspanishfood #anetonatural

#turronsvicens has been one of our most exciting finds on this trip to Barcelona and the #alimentariabcn international food show. This is Ángel Velasco - their "Master Turron" maker (who knew such a job existed). We can't wait to start stocking their artisan products that have wowed us. (Thanks to Cristina Pla for connecting us to the right people) #turrones #newdiscoveries #slowspanishfood

Where else would you find a prize-winning croqueta in a display case like a Tiffany ring? Made with the finest jamón ibérico (of course). Proudly on display at the #alimentariabcn food show. We're confident that ours are just as good. Come and "tapear" with us and judge for yourself 😋 #bringonthecompetition #tapas #croquetas #slowspanishfood

We're getting into the swing of the #alimentariabcn international food show. So far today we have waded through hectares of charcuterie, which almost did us in - but more exciting are the unique Spanish products that we have discovered, including a superb olive beer and the best turrón nougat ever! Super excited about bringing these to #strawberrytreelyme. #newdiscoveries #foodexplorers #slowspanishfood

We've arrived for Day 1 of #alimentariabcn - one of the largest food shows in the world and it is certainly impressive! First stop, the 6-acre Spanish pavilion... Just hope we can find the exit at some point. 😲

Today we visited Casa Amatller - the historical residence of the famous chocolatier family in Barcelona from 1875. You can buy beautifully packaged Amatller chocolates at #strawberrytreelyme without having to come to Barcelona! They make exquisite Easter gifts 🎁 #wheninbarcelona #sagradafamilia #amatllerchocolate #slowspanishfood

The Spanish love their meat! Whether that is prime Galician rib or tripe and trotters. We are enjoying both today for lunch in the Eixample District in Barcelona 😋

Lunch today was at the counter in La Boqueria Market - one of the Spain's most famous covered food markets. Chipirones - fried baby squid, and Pulpo octopus - every bit as good as the one we serve at @strawberrytreelyme 😋 #slowspanishfood #wheninbarcelona #tapas

The Strawberry Tree is busy tasting, drinking and eating its way around Barcelona this weekend as we are visiting the renowned @alimentariabcn international food show. Today's breakfast - cortados and bunyols in the market - tiny fried doughnuts filled with aniseed & cumin.

This week we're open 10am to 3pm for takeaway coffee and cake because Ed and Giselle are in Barcelona... not that they're having a nice time, oh no, it's WORK, visiting @alimentariabcn, the largest international show for the food, gastronomy and catering equipment industries. It is amazing. And here's a photo of Giselle's baked tahini cheesecake. Smaller, but also amazing. Come and try some. #tapas #lymeregis #tahinicheesecake #hardworkbutsomeonesgottodoit

Our new comfy corner for those casual days. #tapas #lymeregis #slowspanishfood #cosycorner #happyfood

Staff lunch, courtesy of our new sous chef Kaspar, in the new space that is Strawberry Tree. Happiness all round! #stafflunch #tapas #lymeregis #happiness #ajobismorethanwork #dorseteats #slowspanishfood

We're back together again, joined by Kaspar, our new sous chef. And we're OPEN TODAY and tomorrow, 10am to 3pm, for takeaway coffee and cake (and a glimpse of the new restaurant). Do come and say 'Hola'. #coffeeandcake #slowspanishfood #lymeregis

How many men does it take to insert a rawl plug? Demonstration by Ed and Mark. Voiceover by Giselle. #howmanymendoesittake #tapas #slowspanishfood #lymeregis #opensoon

It's all coming together! Commentary by Giselle (heckled by Ed and Mark) as they prep the new bar for the tiles. #tapas #lymeregis #slowspanishfood #happytilers #wontbelongnow #cantwaittoopen

Part-time help needed When Giselle is back in her happy place (the kitchen), we need someone to work 9am to 3pm on Sundays and Wednesdays, helping her prep. Please call us on 01297 445757, we'd love to hear from you if you're interested. Common sense more important than experience! #parttimejob #lymeregis #tapas #slowspanishfood

Our lovely, smily electrician, Julian Hill @ julianhillelectrical.com. It's been a pleasure having him around, but he's been in hospital. We're very happy he's back home and feeling much better. Mejorate pronto, there will be tapas to eat before too long! #getwellsoon #happyelectricianaxminster #lymeregistapas

Hours: 9am to 3pm Days: Monday to Friday We are looking for someone to work closely with Giselle in the kitchen as Strawberry Tree grows. Any age or background, just someone who is happy prepping our small and simple but delicious lunch menu and who won't mind Giselle's singing (sample on our Facebook page). You'll learn how to cook 'slow' Spanish food (and eat it if you want to join us at 3pm staff lunch). Kitchen experience is less important than who you are - someone who will fit in with the lovely people who are part of Strawberry Tree's very special recipe. We believe in investing in people who want to be with us long term. If you'd like to talk to us please telephone 01297 445757 for a time to come and see us. We're excited to meet you. Hasta luego, Ed and Giselle. #jobopportunity #lymeregis #lovewhereyouwork #workismorethanajob

The wonderful Spanish tiles we've chosen for the bar. CAN'T WAIT to see everything come together so that we can all get together again. #tapas #slowspanishfood #lymeregis #cantwaittoopenagain #dorseteats

Giselle's new love - a Rational oven. Under wraps until they come to connect it. Giselle also has a new friend - Rebecca from @Comax_UK - thank you Comax. We can't wait to get cooking... and eating. #tapas #lymeregis #lovemyoven #getcooking #geteating #slowspanishfood #cookitright

Standing on the threshold of the new doorway connecting our old restaurant to the new. Happiness is a new door. #slowspanishfood #lymeregis #tapas #BackSoon #Happinessisanewdoor

Ed's son Luke, helping us clear the way for electricians, plumbers and everyone else who will create the new restaurant. Adios to the paella pan. Can't wait until it's full again. #slowspanishfood #paella #tapas #lymeregis #keepitinthefamily

The Strawberry Tree team is on another "research trip", drawing inspiration from London's finest tapas bars... A big thank you to Hanan and the team at the Michelin-listed #copitasoho in Soho for lunch today 🙏❤. The presa ibérica and the pulpo were our faves...🦑 😋 Come and see us in Lyme Regis! #slowspanishfood #tapas #lymeregis #greatdayout

We just want to say thank you to our lovely customers and friends for making our new, permanent home such a happy one. Sparkling here for the next three nights (until Thursday) and then, for us, the start of 2022, when the restaurant will be much bigger (more room for happiness) and there will be more happening inside the restaurant. Love, and a slightly late Feliz Navidad, to you all. xx #feliznavidad #tapas #lymeregis #happyfood #dorseteats #slowspanishfood

It's the shortest day and the beautiful Strawberry Tree garden is going to sleep for winter, but the restaurant is wide awake tonight from 6pm 'til late and from 11am to 3pm and 6pm 'til late tomorrow. Two more evenings if you have the taste for tapas before Christmas. #tapas #lymeregis #slowspanishfood #dorseteats

Open today from 11am to 3pm for a taste of happy Christmas. #homemadecake #homemadebiscuits #mulledwine #lymeregistreats #lymeregis #dorseteats

All of our wines are from small Spanish producers, often second or third generation family businesses. Sample them every night, 6pm 'til late. 22nd is the last night we're open before Christmas. Best to book. #smallisbeautiful #tapas #lymeregis #dorseteats #slowspanishfood #spanishwine

Chicken and bulgur wheat 'delicias' - a new take on croquetas. It was a full plate but we needed to test them... #tapas #lymeregis #delicias #croquetas #slowspanishfood #dorseteats

Beautiful Strawberry Tree flowers... and some lilies. With an apology. Our last day open before Christmas is 22nd December, but then we're also open on 28th, 29th and 30th December. THEN after 30th December we're closed until mid-February for stage 1 of our BIG PLANS. Jess Caute and Clare Redgrave will be here. #tapas #lymeregis #slowspanishfood #dorseteats #strawberrytreeflowers

From tomorrow we're open until Wednesday 22nd December. Then we're closed for Christmas and New Year. In fact, we're closed until mid-February, because in January our BIG PLANS for The Strawberry Tree swing into action. So... if you want to come to our small but perfectly formed restaurant, now's the time. Here's a photo of a perfectly formed apple frangipane tart (and Giselle) to tempt you. Best to book. #smallbutperfectlyformed #tapas #lymeregis #dorseteats #happyfood

More Than a Job Opportunity We are looking for someone to join us, to learn from and work with chef Giselle as The Strawberry Tree grows. Any age or background, but someone we can train to be one of the lovely people who are part of The Strawberry Tree's very special recipe. You need to be interested in delicious food and how it's made (we specialise in 'Slow Spanish Food') but those are the only qualifications we're looking for. We're happy to support you to get formal qualifications, but we're equally happy for Giselle (who has been a chef all of her life and worked in some amazing kitchens) to undertake all of your training. The right person will agree the 'job description' with us and grow with the restaurant. We believe in investing in people who want to be with us long term. If you'd like to talk to us please telephone for a time to come and see us. We're excited to meet you. Hasta luego, Ed and Giselle. #jobopportunity #lymeregisjob #lymeregis #morethanajob #trainingopportunity

Can also used for Spanish goodies on sale in the restaurant. Workshops, classes and experiences start next year, when our new home gets much bigger. Exciting! #giftvoucher #lymeregis #tapas #alliwantforchristmas #loveforchristmas #givesomelove #lymeregisgifts
