Family owned, independent, local and ethical!
As the cost of living continues to rise, independent restaurants around the UK are facing a difficult time and need your support. At Lunya, we are a family-owned and independent business that is proud to serve our local community (and across the UK through our online store). We would encourage you to choose us or one of the many other fabulous locally owned independent restaurants in our city and beyond, for your next dining experience, right now, we all really need you.
By choosing Lunya (and other independents) you are supporting a business that is dedicated to providing quality food and service to our customers. We use fresh, locally sourced ingredients from the very best suppliers and import the very best from Spain to create authentic and delicious dishes that we know our customers love. Just in our restaurants alone, we employ nearly 80 people; it is in the millions, nationwide, in the hospitality sector. we also, rightly, contribute an enormous amount in tax - over £10M since we have been open. We are a vital part of the economy.
But, just this week alone, all Manchego cheese has risen by 25% - we are not passing the price on but absorbing it, ourselves (we hope it works!). This time we are told the price rises are due to drought in Spain affecting milk yield and this, Brexit and the Ukraine war affecting grain prices to feed the sheep. When will it end!
We have only ever known rubbish economic times in the 13 years we have been open - post-financial crash, Brexit (from referendum to implementation), pandemic, Ukraine invasion impact and now the cost of living crisis. We hope if we live long enough, we may experience a decent economic period – we can but dream! But, thank you for all your support so far, we can never express enough how much we appreciate it.
By working together, and all supporting local independents, we can create a strong and vibrant local economy that benefits everyone. So the next time you're looking for a place to dine, consider choosing Lunya and Lunyalita, and next time you want to order food or drink online, try us. You'll not only enjoy a delicious meal and fabulous products but also support a local, independent business that is committed to doing the very best it can and giving as much back into our community as we can. Thank you and please read on, we have so much great news for you. Peter, Elaine and the whole team x.

Charity Fundraising
I am cycling from London to Paris in September to raise money for Myeloma UK who are dedicated to finding a cure for Myeloma, the blood cancer which Elaine has.
Now I take my own health seriously (for the first time at 59 – better late than never), I am fit enough and light enough (having got Diabetes into remission and lost 8+ stone now!) to take this challenge on.
We see this as a real race. Cures for cancer rely on funding. Can we help raise money to find a cure for Myeloma before it gets Elaine! Not a great way to think about it, but so true
Anyone who would like to support us, we have a Just Giving page and are trying to raise £10,000 through this bike ride. Thank you for anything you can give and to everyone who has given so far, we really appreciate it.

And finally .....
Thank you again so much for all your incredible support, especially during these very tough times. Like all hospitality businesses, right now, we are in a fight for survival. Our team really appreciate the support you give us.
From all of us at Lunya, thank you and hopefully see you soon or we're packing one of your internet orders
Peter & Elaine x
