    First time as new to the area. Food was excellent, very tasty. Small plates but packed with lots of flavour. There were 6 of us for lunch, we went for a mix between the daytime offer and from the main menu. Value for money was spot on. I have been to lots of Tapas places but I would definitely recommend this place and will definitely visit again at some point!

    Disappointing today unfortunately. We were there a couple of weeks ago and it was excellent. Food was cold and the meat was meagre. My daughter also ate there today separately and was also very disappointed. Maybe just a bad day

    Usually very good. The dishes we had were mostly good but the spuds weren’t particularly hot, the pork was tough and they forgot the fish dish (it was removed from the bill). In the whole time we were there we were only asked once about a drink, had to flag someone down in the end to get a second which took a really long time to arrive. But we still love this place, just wasn’t as good as usual.

    Incredible food, as always, impeccable. A few dishes every so slightly over salted but that could be my palette otherwise 10/10

    We had a lovely lunch here. The 3 small plates for £15 is excellent value, and the plates were far from small. So much food, and brought out when ready, so we could eat as amd when and share dishes. Absolutely delicious food.
