Limas in Long Eaton Earns Two AA Rosettes for Shared Tapas Dining

The kitchen and the counter

Limas in Long Eaton operates a streamlined tapas kitchen where Kenny oversees every plate moving through the pass. The AA Rosette judges noted this discipline when granting two rosettes for culinary excellence last autumn. Fresh ingredients arrive at your table immediately after cooking, which keeps flavors sharp and textures consistent across the menu.

Plates built for sharing

The main menu rotates around carefully portioned small plates that guests arrange across the center of the table. A dedicated gluten-free protocol runs through the entire operation, allowing Coeliac diners to order without hesitation. Seasonal vegetables and marinated proteins combine with house-made sauces into balanced portions that suit both casual lunches and weekend dinners. This approach to small plate dining turns standard service into a continuous tasting experience.

Space and pacing

The early afternoon window opens the doors for leisurely meals, keeping the service relaxed and unhurried. Tables sit close enough to encourage conversation while maintaining enough clearance for staff to navigate efficiently between courses. The early eaters list introduces lighter options before the evening rush, and the children’s menu mirrors the adult selections. Evening service settles into a quieter rhythm once the weekend crowd arrives, letting the food carry the night.
