Year 9 visit to La Tasca

A group of intrepid Year 9 students, accompanied by their Spanish teacher, Carlos Caruncho, visited La Tasca Spanish restaurant in Oxford for lunch last week. Here to tell you about the visit in their own words (in English y en español!) are some of our students:


On Tuesday we went to La Tasca at the Oxford castle. We were having a Spanish style lunch of different courses with the opportunity to practice speaking in Spanish while we were there. When we arrived, we were immediately given bread to dip in olive oil and balsamic vinegar, this was delicious. This starter was the followed by small fillets of battered fish, these were lovely too and quite filling. This was only the second course and we still had two more to come. The next of which was a chicken dish. There were chunks of chicken with a creamy white sauce, which was then covered in a breadcrumb coating. This dish was my favourite part of the meal. To finish off, we had vegetable paella, which I think was the most colouful part of the meal. The meal was accompanied by a fizzy fruit juice which was excellent. Overall I think that the food at La Tasca was amazing and I hope to go there again!

Bien. Para iniciar las camareras eran muy amables. La bebida era muy agradable. Toda la comida estaba bien, pero era un poco picante. Me gusto especialmente la paella. Lo único malo fue que no pudimos tener dulces.

 It was all delicious! It was good to eat some different things and it was very fun. I would definitely want to go to the restaurant sometime.

The waiters were nice and I think everyone had a good time. My favorite part was all of the good food. I was disappointed that there weren’t churros. Carlos owes us churros!

Cuando fuimos a la tasca, un restaurante español, comimos chorizo. Fue condimentado! Compartimos una paella de pollo. Comí una tortilla Española. Bebimos jugo y gaseosas! Fue genial!
