“An absolutely fantastic establishment. Unusual setting… google maps got us to restaurant without issue. A really friendly team 10 out of 10 … nothing was too much trouble. Topped off with beautiful authentic Spanish Tapas and a lovely jug of Sangria. A special shoutout to James who is an absolute asset to your business. Would recommend to anyone fancying something just a little different. Keep up the good work guys. We will definitely be back.”

“An amazing meal tonight. From booking, to a lovely welcome, attentive staff and fantastic food. Definitely will be back. Actually booked for 3 wks time with our twin lads. Every thing was cooked to perfection. Every mouth was a taste sensation and as foodies there were twists and new things that really made it a great meal.”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the Spanish tapas, naming pork and beef meatballs and spicy chorizo in red wine sauce. Close behind are the drinks, a jug of sangria and an espresso martini that one diner calls the best they have had, plus a friendly team. One reviewer notes slower service on a return visit, when a table that ordered later was served first.
