La Rueda is a long standing Spanish tapas bar at 66 Clapham High Street. Rustic details and a sociable dining room create an informal setting for shared meals, celebrations and later drinks. On Friday and Saturday, live DJs carry the venue from dinner into a late night club atmosphere without losing its focus on Spanish food.
Small plates begin with marinated olives, bread with aioli, pan con tomate and chorizo. Garlic prawns, grilled squid with chimichurri and Galician style octopus bring seafood to the centre of the tapas selection. Meat, cheese and vegetable dishes allow a table to move between salty, smoky, crisp and slow cooked flavours.
Paella is prepared to order with Calasparra rice, saffron and house stock, so it rewards a more leisurely meal. Seafood paella combines monkfish, squid, mussels and king prawns, while black squid ink rice and other variations offer different regional character. Daily specials add another reason to look beyond the established favourites.
Spanish wine, beer, sangria and cocktails support both the food and the later evening energy. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free choices are marked across the selection, helping mixed groups share more easily. La Rueda balances classic regional cooking with the lively hospitality expected from one of Clapham High Street's established night time venues.
