The restaurant
Grill and home cooking in Peñacastillo, Santander
The Peñacastillo tavern: a grill that never rests, creamy rice dishes, a home-style stew menu of the day and regulars who are almost family.
Here the food is generous and honest — and if you don’t feel like going out, we also deliver.
In Peñacastillo, with easy parking, El Campón is the everyday tavern for much of southern Santander: a home-made menu of the day from Monday to Friday (€24.90), generous sharing plates and a grill turning out everything from criollo sausage to Friesian bone-in rib steak.
At weekends, slow-roasted chicken, milk-fed lamb chops and fresh fish from the market grilled over the embers. And to finish, desserts from the trolley. If you work around Peñacastillo or you are looking for somewhere to eat well and plentifully, you have arrived — we can also bring it to your door.
