La Plancha is a Spanish tapas restaurant and cocktail bar at 113 Alcester Road in Moseley Village. Its warm, colourful room is built around relaxed social dining, with plates arriving for the table to share rather than following a rigid individual course structure.
The menu recommends choosing several dishes per person, supported by bread and salad. Toasted ciabatta can be served simply or topped with garlic butter, mushrooms and aioli, or Serrano ham and melted cheese, while olives and house dips make easy accompaniments.
Hot and cold tapas extend through Spanish favourites and vegetable led choices. Patatas bravas, garlic mushrooms, sweet peppers and vegetable paella appear alongside meat and seafood dishes, and a separate vegan selection makes plant based ordering more straightforward.
Freshly made cocktails are an important part of the evening atmosphere, with beer and other bar choices available for groups and celebrations. Guests with allergies should ask staff about the current recipes because gluten, dairy, eggs, nuts, seafood and other allergens may be present across shared plates and preparation areas.
Address: 113 Alcester Road, Moseley, Birmingham B13 8DD, England
