Chef Simon Shaw leads expert chef course at The Cooking School in Halifax
NewsWe’re delighted El Gato Negro has been asked to conduct a duo of cooking classes by The Cooking School at Dean Clough in Halifax, as part of their excellent Wednesday Night for Chefs series.
Chef/proprietor Simon Shaw will be leading two evening classes in March 2013 – revealing some of his favourite techniques, tips and knowledge – and demonstrating the attendees how to create some of his stunning tapas dishes with his customary flair and panache. There are limited places, so please be sure to sign up quickly as we expect both evenings to be filled quickly.
Full details on the course can be found here.
[Update: both evenings have now sold out. However you can still register your interest for future classes, or for a waiting list in case any spaces become available. Thanks for the unbelievable demand; we’re very excited to be conducting these classes and sharing some of our secrets with fans of our Spanish food. ]
Restaurant closed Wed 12 September for 1 day
NewsThe restaurant will be closed for one day, on Wednesday 12th September, for a private function. We will reopen to the public as usual on Thursday. Thank you.
A timelapse video of the team in the kitchen

Ever wondered how hard we work to bring great food from the kitchen to the table? Well, here’s a short timelapse video which shows the team working in our rather delicately proportioned kitchen…
You can see we’re a precision team, where everyone knows their station and everything goes out from the pass looking just perfect. In a small kitchen, teamwork, timing and attention to detail is everything… and we think that comes through in this timelapse.
There’s about five hours of footage squeezed into less than a minute, so hang on tight and enjoy watching this short video. A quick tip though… it definitely looks best in fullscreen mode!
