Lunya is the UK’s first Catalonian Fusion Restaurant and Deli - combining produce and recipes from Catalunya (and the rest of Spain) with the finest artisan produce from the North West of England and beyond. Our menu makes great use of our huge range of authentic Spanish ingredients from the deli counter, sourced “ from only the finest artisan producers in Spain - the vast majority of which are up to sixth generation farmers, ranging from cheese makers, to meat curers and food manufacturers who still work to centuries old recipes and methods. Complementing our high quality Spanish ingredients, we source the majority of our meat, fish, fruit and vegetables from local butchers and farms within Merseyside, Cheshire, Lancashire and North Wales – allowing us to support local producers and our local economy. The vast majority of our meat is supplied by the multi-award winning Edges of New Ferry who provide complete traceability of traditional rare breeds that are often used on our menu to give a long forgotten deep meat flavour. Wards supply much of our fish; their high quality fish is caught using ethical and sustainable methods, with as much as possible coming from the shores of the North West and North Wales. We make all of our food ourselves – no packet mixes, powders, pre-cooked food or microwaves in our kitchen. At Lunya, our menu changes regularly to reflect the changing seasons and we aim to provide you with the best food on the market and truly believe the flavours will shine through! If you would like any help or advice about the menu, please ask a member of staff who will be more than willing to give you any pointers to help in choosing. Here at Lunya, we aim to be a great community business, an excellent employer and ultimately a restaurant and deli where the passion for our food shines through. We want our service to be the best there is, and go to great pains to develop and support our staff to provide this. I started Lunya to share my own passion for food and in particularly my passion for Catalunya, and Spain in general. It represents my heart and soul, and my own personal view of what great food and service should be about. When you are here at Lunya, we want you to feel great about your experience and want to return. If we fall short of our standards, or if there is anything you would like us to do differently, don’t hesitate to let me or any of my staff know – it is the only way we can really achieve our aspirations.

The balance goes into a pool shared by all the restaurant staff, except the senior managers. This gets the balance right between individual and team performance.

We do not use tips to make up anyone’s salary, and do not use any part of a tip to boost the restaurant’s revenue, whether you leave it as a cash or a credit card tip.
