About Señor Tapas
Señor Tapas sits on Station Square in Orpington, a Spanish restaurant shaped around the tapas tradition of ordering several small dishes to share. The menu leans on classic Spanish lines, with croquetas and padron peppers among the most cited plates. Dogs are welcome inside, making it a workable stop for walkers passing through the square. Service is run by a friendly team who take orders and keep the rhythm of a shared meal moving. The format suits groups, where the small portions per dish invite a spread across the table rather than a single main each.

Customer Review Summary
Diners single out the food as the main draw, with several name-checking the croquetas and padron peppers as standouts. Reviewers consistently describe the flavours as fresh and authentic, and several flag the friendly, attentive service.

“Absolutely outstanding from start to finish. The food was exceptional every dish was full of flavour, beautifully presented, and tasted incredibly fresh. You can tell a lot of care goes into every plate, and it genuinely felt like an authentic Spanish dining experience. The atmosphere was buzzing, making it the perfect place for a relaxed meal or special occasion. A special mention has to go to Laura, who made our evening even better. She was warm, welcoming, attentive, and nothing was too much trouble. Her friendly personality and excellent service really stood out and made us feel looked after from the moment we arrived. She’s a real credit to Señor Tapas. Without a doubt one of the best tapas restaurants around. We’ll definitely be back and can’t recommend it highly enough! ⭐️👏”

“Very nice place ! Friendly environment! Excellent food and service! Nice people!”
- Rachael Taylor
“Really love this place and it has a lot of potential, it’s just that the amount of servings per dish is not sharer-friendly. I really recommend the restaurant providing 6 servings at least when it comes to any plate, so groups of 2 - 6 know where they are at when they are ordering the food. It’s always an arithmetic conundrum for when ordering food here when tapas should be a drunken gathering of family and friends sharing food and laughing which is an atmosphere encouraged by the owners (and always appreciated). The quality of the foods is really spot on, it’s just the unsociable portion sizes that let you down. Drinks are absolutely gorgeous too. Please consider the portion sizes because I really think it would help!!”

“We had a very nice lunch and all the dishes we all had was very nice and all eaten, we would all definitely come back. Thanks for the lovely food and drink.”
- Stefan Albers
“I would have every dish again … especially the (biggest) padron peppers!!! I’d hope for a bit more jamon!”
