Cubana is expanding. We have teamed up with Artex, one of the main Cuban music and culture enterprises which has clubs and casas de musica all over Cuba. Artex also promotes some of Cuba's top bands.

Over the next few years we plan to establish a strictly limited number of Cubanas in the UK, Europe and worldwide - as well as in Cuba in association with Artex.

The new Cubanas will maintain our reputation for quality and value and will benefit from our direct purchases of rum, beer, coffee and organic sugar from Cuba - and from our association with Artex

If you are interested in working with us on a franchise or partnership basis, please contact us on info@cubana.co.uk

Important note - Cubana is a registered trade mark and cannot be used either solely or in association with other words in any business in which Cubana is involved - this includes bars, restaurants and several other classes of business. For more information, please see the UK Patent Office website at www.ipo.gov.uk - please note that trade mark registrations for Cubana are also pending across the EU

The only other bar-restaurant in the UK authorised to use the Cubana name is in Sheffield — although they are not directly associated with us, we highly recommend you visit them if you get the chance — details on www.cubanatapasbar.co.uk

Please note that we vigorously defend our rights to use the Cubana name in the relevant business classes - we have taken people using the Cubana trade mark illegally to court and will do so in future without hesitation

If you have any queries about the use of the Cubana name in any business, or know of any business using the Cubana name illegally, please contact us on info@cubana.co.uk — we offer an £100 reward for information relating to genuine illegal use of our name!
