It was the first visit but not the last. The food was outstanding, and the service was first-class. It was a quiet Saturday due to the school holidays, so we were fortunate to have a lovely ambience. The choice of tapas was excellent, and every dish was delectable. Our favourite was the Mushroom Croquette. Beautiful views of the river and tastefully decorated inside with a lovely Christmas atmosphere

Nice selection of tapas and Spanish dishes. Got complimentary fizz as it was our anniversary. We went on a grey day in December but can imagine it would be a beautiful setting on a sunny day

Hi Nigel, Thank you for visiting us recently, we are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We have spoken with the restaurant manager, who has confirmed that no issues were raised by yourself on this occasion. Had you have raised this on the night, the team would have been able to deal with this promptly. We frequently receive positive reviews on our food service, so we're sorry you felt we fell short. We have passed your feedback on to our Area Manager, who will be in contact with you to discuss your concerns. In regard to your comments on price, we continually monitor this with our surrounding competitors and other tapas restaurants, to ensure we remain competitive and within the same price range as others. We truly hope that you will return, El Cerdo Team
