Was Kelly Kennedy at The Basque Kitchen a mag?
Came over Sunday evening, early work appointment Monday and decided to eat here. Really friendly staff and the food was brilliant. Belly pork in tamarind sauce and the spicy beef was brilliant. Definitely recommend View all feedback.

What Paul Wood dislikes about The Basque Kitchen:
The service and food at this restaurant were absolutely terrible. The owner showed no remorse for the poor experience. The food was served very slowly, with the last few main dishes coming out after everyone else had finished eating. Despite our complaints, we were still expected to pay for the entire meal. I would recommend avoiding this place at all costs. I wouldn't even give it one star if I could. This was a din... View all feedback.
