NORFOLK STREET FOOD

Home of the
original UFO.

CóMeme is Ari’s roaming Norfolk kitchen. Spanish cooking, tapas, bar snacks and the original UFO, with its home base in Swaffham and regular landings across Norfolk.

Eat it as a tapa. Have it over rice. Or put it in a UFO.

ORIGINAL UFO

THE ORIGINAL UFO

So, what’s
a UFO?

Two tortillas. Ari’s cooking. Rice. Crispy onions. Cheese. Pressed into one suspiciously circular object.

It doesn’t really belong to an existing food category.

We call it a UFO.
You will too.

ARI’S KITCHEN

It starts
with Ari.

The UFO gets most of the attention.

Typical.

But before anything reaches the press, Ari has actually been cooking.

Spanish dishes, slow-cooked meats, vegetables, sauces and whatever else has made it onto the board that week.

Some of it becomes a UFO.
Some of it goes over rice.
Some of it is served as a tapa.

And some Spanish things are perfectly capable of existing without us interfering with them at all.

See the menu

TAPA / UFO / RICE BOX

Pick what
happens next.

A lot of what Ari cooks can be eaten more than one way.

Choose the dish. Then choose your level of involvement.

TAPA

The dish, just smaller. Served as it is, with nowhere to hide and no tortilla-based interference.

Tapas are made for sharing, grazing and ordering one more than you meant to. Have a little something with a beer, add a tray of kikos, cured meat and cheese, or build a tableful and call it dinner.

The only real mistake is ordering just one.

UFO

The CóMeme original.

Ari’s cooking, rice, crispy onions, cheese and tortillas, pressed into the thing that got us into this situation in the first place.

RICE BOX

Ari’s cooking served over rice.

No spacecraft involved.

Still very much CóMeme.

See what we’re cooking

PICOTEO / SPANISH BAR FOOD

Some things
should be
left alone.

Montaditos. Spanish cured meats and cheese. Olives and banderillas. Crisps, kikos and sauces. Little things designed for picking at while somebody goes to get another round.

And as Ari keeps cooking, expect more of the things she grew up eating to find their way onto the board.

Not everything needs to become a UFO.

We are showing remarkable restraint.

AT BARSHAM BREWERY TAPROOM

We spend quite a lot of time at Barsham.

Enough time, in fact, that the beer has started finding its way into the food.

You’ll regularly find CóMeme at Barsham Brewery, with Barsham beer turning up in our sauces, specials and other experiments. We’re also working on a few things you’ll only find there: CóMeme dishes made exclusively for the brewery, best eaten with a beer and no sensible explanation.

PRIVATE HIRE

Your event could use a UFO.

And, as it turns out, quite a lot more.

Bring CóMeme to weddings, birthdays, work events, festivals and private gatherings across Norfolk.

We can serve UFOs, tapas, rice boxes and Spanish bar food, with menus built around the kind of event you’re planning and how you want people to eat.

You plan the gathering.
We bring the horsebox. Ari brings the food.

AROUND NORFOLK

Latest from around Norfolk.

Food, events, brewery landings and occasional evidence that we should probably be allowed out in public more often.
