A taste of San Sebastian hospitality is soon to arrive in Preston as new destination Bar Pintxos opens its doors at the end of August.

The new bar restaurant will be located on the Flag Market in Preston.

Local entrepreneur, Anthony Smith, is dusting off his chef whites and will host the 110 cover bar restaurant bringing a taste of the food-obsessed Basque region to the North West.

The bar will bring Pintxos to Preston, bite-sized pieces of food art, famous in the Basque region which are designed to eat while standing and socialising.

The culinary creations are often served on skewers and diners will be able to choose a selection from the downstairs servery and then hand the sticks to the server to pay their bill.

Anthony Smith said: “San Sebastian is a place that is all about great food and drinks and having a good time. I love everything about the way of eating, the Pintxos presentation and the hospitality.

“I’ve put my heart and soul into this venue and can’t wait for people to come and get a taste of the region’s food and the drinks. We have some exclusive suppliers on the bar side so you’ll be able to sip the sunshine as you dine.”

Chefs have already been appointed and Anthony is now looking for Spanish speaking staff who will enhance the authentic atmosphere.

Bar Pintxos will open opposite the Shankly Hotel on Friday 27 August.
