Popular Ilkley restaurant opening new Skipton eatery following £70k investment

La Casita has been on Yorkshire’s dining scene since 2014, when chefs and entrepreneurs, Simon Miller and Oliver Renton, opened the first restaurant in Ilkley.

Now, with sites across Ilkley, Horsforth, Leeds, Boston Spa and employing 50 people, the duo are opening their latest restaurant in Skipton at the end of the month.

On Friday November 30, doors will open at Mill Bridge in Skipton to ‘The Little House of Tapas’ where it will serve its Andalusian tapas food, alongside wines and cocktails.

The restaurant chain now employs 50 people across the sites, and with £70k worth of investment in the new site, a further 10 jobs have been created locally.

With additional growth plans for 2019, the team are continuing to find new ways to bring this cuisine to diners, as well as connecting suppliers with customers.

Simon Miller, co-founder of La Casita, said: “We pride ourselves on the experience our restaurants create, carefully curated dishes with great flavour and creativity, all set in a beautifully intimate restaurant.

“Our vision is to bring the taste of Spain to the wonderful little hamlets of Yorkshire. 2019 will be an exciting year for us with plans for new sites, exploring a potential street food offering and continuing to build the La Casita brand.

“We want to continue supporting local business communities, with the addition of developing those wanting to work in hospitality.

“Whether its front of house of creating our very best dishes, we offer apprenticeships to help mentor and support both young or old talent, giving them first-hand experience of working in a fast-paced, thriving restaurant environment.”

As well as its restaurants, La Casita is said to be building its customer following with the launch of La Casita Loyalty App, whereby customers can earn points, get money off future dining experiences and access offers across all five restaurants.

La Casita Skipton will open from Friday November 30 at 10 Mill Bridge, Skipton.
