Two Island businesses have teamed up to open a new tapas restaurant on an Isle of Wight seafront.

Paseo Tapas has moved in to the former home of CRAFT - Beer and Pizza, on Ryde Esplanade.

It is run by the owners of Union Street deli, Pickle and Dill — Nicola, Danielle and Bob Wright.

The family have joined forces with Jason Killingback, from cigar and whiskey shop, Sip and Smoke in Victoria Arcade.

Nicola told the County Press: "We used to do tapas evenings at the deli but we have a tiny, tiny kitchen and we could only use a domestic oven so when Jason went into CRAFT and heard it was for sale, we looked at this amazing kitchen and we thought it was a great position on the Esplanade."

Paseo opened its doors with a launch event on December 2.

Bringing a taste of Spain to the Island, the restaurant offers an a la carte menu of traditional Spanish tapas and small plates in the main restaurant.

Isle of Wight County Press:

There is also a separate bar menu for those wanting to pop in for a drink and a bite to eat.

Having teamed up with Jason, the restaurant's bar is well-stocked with fine whiskies, wines, spirits, cocktails.

There is also craft beer on tap from Island brewery, Wight Knuckle.

Paseo is open Tuesday to Saturday, from 5pm and can be found opposite Ryde Pier and the bus station, on the Esplanade.
