“No trip to The Spanish Butcher is complete without tasting our glorious Manchego truffle fries. The perfect accompaniment to any of our main courses, these fries enhance the flavour of our succulent Galician beef dishes. Don’t be fooled though, these deliciously gooey fries deserve praise all on their own! Perfect as a snack at the bar or a side with your main, these fries are a real star of the show here at The Spanish Butcher.”
