Paws & Brunch
Forget your usual Saturday brunch!
This one is designed with both you and your pup in mind 🐶
On Saturday, the 23rd of May, El Santo Secret Bar hosts Paws & Brunch, a relaxed, Latin-inspired brunch where dogs are not just welcome, but genuinely considered in how the space and experience are set up.
🐾 A space designed for dogs
We’ve created a calm and comfortable environment to help your pup feel at ease.
Water bowls and soft blankets will be provided, with space for dogs to settle in beside you. The aim is to keep things relaxed, unhurried, and enjoyable for everyone.
For everyone’s safety and comfort, dogs must remain on a lead at all times and under the supervision of their owners. We kindly ask that only well-behaved dogs, comfortable around other dogs and people, attend the event. Owners are fully responsible for their dogs throughout.
🍸 Arrival & settle-in
On arrival, you’ll be welcomed with a glass of prosecco while your dog has time to explore the space and get comfortable.
The first part of the event is intentionally slower paced, allowing dogs to adjust before service begins.
🍽️ The brunch
Once everyone is settled, we move into service.
Guests enjoy their food while dogs stay close to their owners in a calm environment.
🎟️ What’s included
• Any 3 Latin-inspired tapas of your choice
• A glass of prosecco on arrival or a soft drink for children
• A Canine Afternoon Tea for your dog by Sir Woofchester’s
Additional food and drinks are available to order throughout.
📸 A little extra
A professional photographer will be present to capture moments from the day, so you’ll have some lovely photos with your dog to take away.
🐶 A treat for your dog
We’ll be serving a curated Afternoon Tea box by Sir Woofchester’s, a premium UK dog hospitality brand known for its high-quality, thoughtfully crafted treats.
Each box includes:
• Iced pupcake
• Bark Bangers
• Paw Star Martini (dog-friendly drink)
• Woof Bar
🤍 Afterwards
Once brunch service finishes, the atmosphere becomes more relaxed and social.
With owner supervision, guests and pups are welcome to mingle while dogs remain on leads.
If needed, there is access to a rear exit, so you’re able to step out with your dog at any time during the event.
👥 Everyone’s welcome
Come solo, as a couple, with friends, or family. Dogs are a big part of the experience, but you’re just as welcome to join without one. It’s a great way to meet people, socialise, and enjoy something a little different.

Event Details
A themed Friday inspired by late-night culture across Latin America and the atmosphere of tropical nightlife from the late 70s to the 90s.
The night begins slowly. Early hours are built around conversation, drinks, and time at the table. In many Latin settings, this is where the evening starts. Cards and simple games are part of that rhythm, not as entertainment, but as a way to sit, talk, and stay present.
From 7 PM, El Santito reflects that atmosphere: warm light, a relaxed pace, and a space designed for social energy rather than structure. A selection of Latin-inspired cocktails will be available, with bar food served until 21:30.
As the evening develops, the energy builds naturally. The room fills, the music becomes more central, and the night shifts into a more dynamic setting. A DJ will guide the progression through Latin, reggaeton, afro house, and commercial sounds.
The visual direction draws on late-20th-century Latin nightlife: warm tones, tropical textures, and a dense, social atmosphere.
This is a fluid space with both standing and seating throughout.
Friday, 19 June
7 PM – 1 AM
Free entry. Bookings recommended.
