Arbina restaurant will host three days (23rd, 24th and 25th November) dedicated to Castilla y León, when Gastronomy, Culture and History will blend in one. Javier López Arbina, born and raised in Valladolid, is the perfect ambassador of Castilla y León to do so. He knows well all the produce this land has to offer with over 60 products guaranteed by any quality designation, its traditions and places to visit within this historic region.

Castilla y León has indeed a rich gastronomic heritage, favoured by its extensive and varied recipe book, but also by the quality and diversity of its provisions. This is why Head Chef Enrique García though about making a deconstructed version of his most recognisable dish: Cocido, all made with Castilla y León produce. It will be offered during these three days to bring to your table the real taste of each ingredient from this fairy-tale like land also called «Tierra de castillos» (The Land of Castles).

Enrique García, Arbina´s Head Chef, will also explain what has inspired him to create this delicious set menu based in The land of Castles as Castilla y Léon is known. The specific products that give the flavour to the dish and why these are essential, such Morcilla de Burgos or Chorizo del Bierzo.

ELEVATOR PITCH | XXV EDITION

On Tuesday 8^th March, we held the XXV edition of our Elevator Pitch networking event. This edition took place at Arbina Restaurant, member of the Spanish Chamber. The restaurant is located in the area of Fitzrovia and offers the traditional Mediterranean cuisine in the heart of London.

Everything was ready for the event at the private room downstairs, which fitted perfectly with the characteristics of this event, where Mr. Javier López de Arbina, welcomed everyone on behalf of Arbina.

Delicious breakfast served by Arbina Restaurant, member of the Chamber.

The event was chaired by María Prieto, our Events & Communication Co-ordinator and Cristina Carmona, Head of Corporate Relations and Communication, who explained the dynamics of this activity to the participants, whose main purpose is to provide participants with the possibility to expand their network and to explore further avenues of collaboration with the rest of participants.

After the brief presentation, each attendee had 2 minutes to give a concise and concrete introduction about their company’s main line of activity and services they provided. Having done so, there was a second opportunity for each participant to ask questions to the rest of participants.

The reduced format allows participants to introduce their line of business.

Should you be interested in participating in the next edition of this networking event, there are just a couple of things you need to know regarding this format: Usually there are up to 16 participant companies, and only one representative per company is allowed. However, it is possible to have up to two companies from the same business sector. Therefore, attendees are able to meet a wide variety of companies from different sectors and exchange their business cards.

On this occasion, there was a wide variety of sectors represented among the 11 companies that took part in this edition: Cooking your Spanish (Cookery and Spanish lessons), E-Lixir Consulting (Digital Communication), Harwood Hutton (Accounting and Auditing Services), Hispalis Group (Construction), Lloyds Bank (Banking and Financial Services), Melia White House (Hotel), Sargadelos Porcelain UK (Fine Porcelain), Scornik Gerstein (Legal Services), The Bentley London (Hotel), and The Client Academy (Business Consultancy Services).

Attendees had the chance to get to know each other after their presentations.

After the round of questions, everyone had the opportunity to chat and continue networking over a delicious breakfast with some of the most iconic products of Spanish cuisine that the venue serves.

Thank you to all the professionals who have been part of the last edition of the Elevator Pitch and our gratitude to Arbina Restaurant for kindly hosting the event and welcoming us.
