Situated in the picturesque market town of Cheadle in the Staffordshire Moorlands - welcome to The Olive Tree Mediterranean Tapas Restaurant and Coffee Bar.
The word 'tapas' is synonymous with Spanish cuisine. Tapas is a plural term, Tapa is not a type of food, but a way of eating it. Tapa means ‘lid’ or ‘cover’ in Spanish and there are a number of explanations for the origins of tapas. Tapa is not a particular type of food. Anything can be tapas - paella, meatballs, air dried meats, breads, cheeses are just some examples – truly anything can be described as tapas providing it is small and served with a drink. Tapas - it doesn't even have to be Spanish!
Our favourite story concerns a sick king who recovered from his illness by drinking wine and nibbling small dishes. After regaining his health, the king issued a royal decree that insisted that food should always be served to guests with drinks.
