Originally from Talavan, a small town in Cáceres, José has now lived in London for over 18 years, and is often described as the Godfather of Spanish cooking in the UK. José spent his early years here working at some of London’s most prestigious Spanish restaurants including Eyre Brothers, Brindisa and Gaudi. In 2011, José opened José Tapas Bar, a small and cosy venue inspired by the bustling tapas bars of Barcelona. 

José has since gone on to open two further restaurants: Pizarro, and José Pizarro at Broadgate Circle. José believes that tapas is for all, and that home cooks don’t have to be scared off by the idea of cooking lots of dishes – it’s all in the prep & keeping it simple. This mantra of simplicity along with Jose’s charm, enthusiasm and passion for Spanish food has led to José appearing on many of our favourite foodie TV programmes.

Godfather of Spanish cooking, José Pizarro will host a masterclass showing his simple step by step on how to achieve delectable tapas. José can also arrange for a carefully selected range of Spanish wines to be paired with the tapas and will host a tasting and dining evening, which you can book on Feast It now!
