A short break, closed Sun 1st – Thurs 19th July
NewsThe restaurant is closed for the next two weeks for our annual break. It’s that time where we get to experiment full-time in the kitchen; give everything an extra polish and clean; meet our suppliers; go on buying trips, and put the finishing touches to our new wine list.
We’re also rolling out the new website, as well as getting onto Facebook and Twitter. So while we’re closed to the public for two weeks, we’ll be working away behind closed doors… and perhaps sharing a few secrets in the meantime!
New website and social media for El Gato Negro
NewsWe’ve launched our new website! Our old site has served us admirably for the last few years, but we know we need to keep fresh and relevant online as well as on the plate!
So we’ve teamed up with our friends at Anti Limited, and they’ve created a slick, stylish new look which reflects the restaurant and our menus. Lots of gorgeous photography, as well as clever and useful features galore: from up-to-date menus and contact forms, through to 360° panoramic views of the interior.
Now we have a bright, shiny and useful new site, designed to work just as well on smartphones and tablets as much as desktop computers. We aim to regularly update the news, and provide special online-only offers too. We’ve also got a presence on Facebook and Twitter too… so please like and follow us for all the latest from the black cat!
Best Local Spanish Restaurant Winners on Gordon Ramsey’s F Word
Creds, NewsWe were proud winners of Gordon Ramsey’s F Word Best Local Spanish Restaurant in 2009/10. After being shortlisted for the Channel 4 show, Gordon and his team turned up to film us at our Ripponden restaurant. Simon and sous chef Matt then headed down to London to battle it out in the studio. It was a tight run thing, but the boys brought the coveted award back home to Yorkshire in the end!
