Esquina is a Spanish tapas restaurant and bar at 384–386 Tamworth Road in Sawley, Long Eaton. The relaxed neighbourhood setting is designed around shared plates and conversation, making it equally suitable for a few dishes with drinks or a longer meal assembled across the evening.
Tapas allows the kitchen to move between vegetables, seafood and meat without asking diners to choose a single theme for the table. Cold and warm plates arrive as they are ready, creating contrast between fresh, bright flavours and richer fried, braised or grilled preparations.
An early evening menu offers a structured way to sample several dishes, while the wider selection rewards groups willing to share. This format also lets vegetarian diners combine multiple choices rather than rely on one substitute main course.
The wine list travels through Spain, with Cava and regional still wines chosen to suit the varied food. Cocktails, beer and other drinks support the restaurant’s bar identity, and the warm service and informal pace help turn the multi-plate format into a convivial night out.
