A new restaurant offering modern Spanish tapas and elegant cocktails has recently been unveiled.

Humo, which means smoke in Spanish, opened in King Street in Watford last week.

It is owned by Pirathiepan Navendan, who also runs burger and wings restaurants The Sauce, but he said this new eatery is pitched as “upper casual”.

Mr Navendan said: “We came up with the new concept which has a Japanese influence with Spanish tapas food, and it is really good, scintillating food.

“We have a really good team and we have worked really hard.

“There are some very sophisticated cocktails you wouldn’t find at the most high-class London restaurants.”

The 27-year-old owner self-funded the restaurant and designed the logo himself to be a “primitive” design reflecting the style of cooking on a coal fire.

Mr Navendan added: “We aren’t going for fine dining either, it's perfect for dates, perfect for families, it will be very inclusive.”
