We’ve always loved the quality and versatility of sherry here at El Gato Negro. It’s a key component of several of our dishes – from delicate Palourde clams to sticky baby pork ribs – and as well as serving a fine range of sherries in our restaurant, the bartenders in The Black Cat offer a superb selection of sherry-based cocktails. So with such a passion for all things sherry, we’re incredibly excited to be celebrating International Sherry Week: hosting the official launch event and a sherry masterclass on Monday 7th November; and all week we’re serving three specially created cocktails in The Black Cat, as well a special paired menu in our ground floor bar.
