La Rueda Tapas bar is a Spanish restaurant at 12 Bond Street in Ealing. The dining room is built around the sociable pleasure of ordering several small plates for the table, with traditional recipes joined by thoughtful contemporary touches. Seasonal produce, carefully sourced meat and seafood give the broad menu a fresh neighbourhood character.
Classic vegetable tapas include pan con tomate, Padrón peppers, tortilla Española and crisp patatas bravas with spicy sauce and garlic aioli. Manchego arrives with walnuts and quince paste, while aubergine, cauliflower, artichoke and seasonal salads create plenty of choice without meat. These dishes work as starters or as part of a complete vegetarian spread.
Chorizo cooked in red wine, grilled lamb skewers, Iberian pork cheeks and roast suckling pig bring deeper savoury flavours. Seafood ranges from prawns with chilli and garlic to grilled sardines, Galician octopus, calamari and monkfish with prawns. Daily croquettes and a changing blackboard of specials add variety for returning guests.
Paella can be ordered with meat, seafood, squid ink or seasonal vegetables, while fideuà replaces rice with noodles in a seafood recipe. Desserts bring a sweet conclusion after the salt and spice of the tapas. Spanish wine, beer, sangria and cocktails support the relaxed sharing style, whether diners visit for a few plates or a long evening meal.
