Such a great tapas place! They do South African and Spanish tapas dishes so they have a brilliant blend of options to try from and they have a nice specials menu too. Everything was cooked to perfection and went so well with everything else. The portions are also really well sized for tapas. The chili rib is a must try as well as the goat cheese with carrot jam! They have such a great selection of meat, fish and veggie options and lots of their menu is GF too. We will definitely be back!

We always have a great meal here and have been coming regularly for a few years now best Spanish food in town and I've eaten in all the others!! Unpretentious place with really good food and service from friendly staff. The pork ribs, secret iberico pork shoulder, gambas w chilli and garlic are particular standouts but tbh everything here is at least very good basics like berenjenas (aubergine) and properly seasoned tasty tortilla all tip top. The combo is a surprise but works really well chap that runs it is always very helpful!!

We have eaten here several times now as it is a 1 minute walk from the Cameo cinema. It is consistently excellent and great value for money. We have never had a mediocre dish the food has always been very good. If you are looking at the menu online, that is only part of the story, every time we have visited there has been a wide choice of other options on their daily 'specials ' blackboard. Highly recommended.
