Bah shame but there's nothing for me on their new menu

Went last night, they seem to be fixed on their new short menu now. Seemingly no side dishes at all, where did they go? Did I just miss them? They are listed on that menu but I am sure they weren't on the printed menu... Also there is no vegan option there now. Probably there never was a vegan option, but while I didn't know that the vegetable paella vegetables were honey roasted, or the vegetable fajitas were cooked in garlic butter I was OK. But now they blatantly list these critical details on the menu! Good for people with allergies or properly strict vegans I suppose.

Five of us went, my paella was a bit dull without any accompaniments. I managed to snaffle some bits and pieces from the two fajitas, they seem to have been a success. The other two chaps had chili though, and it was apparently not great, not at all spicy.
The wife still likes it, but I have now officially gone off Escondido.
