    Second time in this restaurant and again very happy with everything. Food was amazing, portion sizes were ample and the whole ambience of the restaurant was brilliant. Our server, Daria, was very attentive; as we finished one tapas the next was there Avocado and lime ice-cream was a first and we would love to try it again soon.

    This is our 4th visit and we really enjoyed it yet again . Great food and service. Refreshing to have tapas served as and when the dish is ready rather than dumping all dishes at the same time . Would definitely recommend

    Husband and I visited on a Saturday evening. Atmosphere was lovely with the Spanish guitarist and singer adding to the ambience. Restaurant staff - front of house and our server were both very friendly. We ordered 6 tapas dishes - 5 were delicious and all packed with flavour. The dishes came out piping hot which is always a bonus. Our only dish which wasn’t quite up to scratch were the lamb chops, as 2 out of the 4 were just fatty cuts. Churros were also delish, with a very tasty toffee sauce. Thank you El Cerdo - we will visit again soon.

We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our mouth-watering dishes, especially our Churros con Dulche de Leche, and we take great pride in delivering speedy and attentive service. We're delighted to know you loved the live music in the restaurant too! Your kind words truly inspire our team, and we can't wait to welcome you back for another delicious meal and top-notch service!

    The food was good but the offer stated price person for 2 starters two mains and one dessert BUT that wasnt the case as these were to share per couple .Really poor value given we could have ordered off main menu for much less .Such a shame as the quality of food was good The manager got 100% for all her efforts and her offer of reducing the price but it really spoilt what should have been a romantic Valentines experience
    El Cerdo MaidenheadResponded on 19 February 2025
