    We had a wonderful time at el Santo on Sunday 10th Nov. The only small issue we had was, we had ordered a side of vegetables, but they came a little after our main food order. The waitress was more than helpful and sorted us out by taking the side dish off our bill. Very helpful.

    Very happy with the Brazilian BBQ experience. I have been to many Rodízio so far and I can say El Santo is one of the best. The Picanha was to die for and having Leonardo serving with being a Brazilian guy made it extra specials. The whole staff was 5 stars, friendly and caring. We will be back for sure.

    We booked our table in advance. When we turned up the 2 girls at the reception struggled to find our table we were the advised that we would get another table we were booked for 5-15 but they said they needed the table back for 6-30. When we got seated everything was fine but then we noticed that everything was being rushed. It seemed like they wanted us out as soon as possible. There was a table of 2 across from us and all our dinners came so much quicker than there’s. As we opted for the set menu we were seated and out in just over an hour. VERY Disappointing experience overall

    We went as a family of 4 tonight had a fantastic meal more than we could actually eat but brilliant because of all the loads of different flavours through out , from the scallops,prawns chip dips tacos the avocado that was made the table was the best we’ve ever had to Tomahawk steak for 2 sharing ,,superb !!! It didn’t need the 2 sauces of choice free , the flavour was wow… We didn’t even look to be honest to see if there was deserts couldn’t have eaten anymore. The staff were fantastic, ever helpful but never imposing The noise level is probably perfect for to have a conversation with your table not noisy but also good enough to have privacy as well . The Cocktails are fab , you know there’s quality alcohol in them 👍 Last but not least a superb bottle of house Red for £30 or just under 15% !!!! We had a great night .
