    It was our first visit to El Cerdo. It was quiet on the afternoon we visited probably because it was just after the New Year. We really enjoyed the food which was tasty and authentic

    I have given 3 stars for service as we had to put a deposit down to book the table but we had to wait 15 mins for our table at the bar. They should have taken off the service charge of 20.00. Good food as always though prices are inflated.

    First time eating at El Cerdo, will definitely be back! Great food, great service and good value. We shared 4 tapas between two - good portions and more than enough for lunch. Good selection of drinks - can highly recommend the rose Cava! Free glass of mulled wine was very welcome on a damp, drizzly days. Only downside was that we were the only customers but might have Storm Darragh to blame for that!

    After a bit of a disaster the previous week (documented below), Aly the area manager rang me up the next day to apologise, and ordered to put the situation right That he certainly did, we had an amazing meal, all the food was as excellent as it should be, with great service. Delighted with our experience, and how important it was to Aly that we enjoyed ourselves. The cheese board was the stand out hit, a work of art , but all our dishes were great (mainly vegetarian, and the chicken kebab), Will be back when the new menu arrives
