   First visit and we will be back. Great selection of tapas, fabulous team of FoH staff. Wine superb. The avocado and lime ice cream was divine. Great inspiration from Chef

   Husband and I visited on a Saturday evening. Atmosphere was lovely with the Spanish guitarist and singer adding to the ambience. Restaurant staff - front of house and our server were both very friendly. We ordered 6 tapas dishes - 5 were delicious and all packed with flavour. The dishes came out piping hot which is always a bonus. Our only dish which wasn’t quite up to scratch were the lamb chops, as 2 out of the 4 were just fatty cuts. Churros were also delish, with a very tasty toffee sauce. Thank you El Cerdo - we will visit again soon.

   Met friends for a mid week get together. Tasty sharing plates that appealed to all, vegetarians and meat/fish eaters. Nice atmosphere and efficient service.

   The food was good but the offer stated price person for 2 starters two mains and one dessert BUT that wasnt the case as these were to share per couple .Really poor value given we could have ordered off main menu for much less .Such a shame as the quality of food was good The manager got 100% for all her efforts and her offer of reducing the price but it really spoilt what should have been a romantic Valentines experience

   This place had been highly recommended by family as a great dining experience. We were very disappointed in the value, quality and delivery of the food. We thought it was very over priced and the standard was very average. After we had complained about the one dish that was just too salty to eat, we had to wait 15 minutes for the next course and a further 10 minutes for the last course. We were under the impression that tapas dishes should more or less arrive simultaneously so you can enjoy the side / main dishes together. The staff weren't that bothered that we were unhappy. Will not return in a hurry

   Hi Lou, Thank you for visiting us recently to dine following the recommendation from your family. We are sorry to hear that we did not meet your expectations on this occasion. We regularly check prices etc… aim to remain competitive… Regarding the meatballs which were too salty for you, we have now rectified this with our kitchen team. In respect of the waiting time between dishes, the nature of tapas is that the food comes out from the kitchen as and when it is ready, rather than simultaneously, and the length of time will depend on both the timings of the dish and how busy the restaurant is. We would truly love to see you return, as we can promise you an altogether different experience. El Cerdo Team

   Unfortunately we got charged for a bottle of wine instead of a glass and we didn’t realise until the next day but otherwise we had a great time thanks

   Hi Catherine, Thank you for visiting us recently, we're glad to hear you had a great time with us. We're sorry to hear that you were mistakenly overcharged during this visit. Our Area Manager, Aly, has been trying to contact you over this past week to discuss and rectify the situation, but has had no luck getting through. Please could you check your private messages for contact details to reach out to Aly directly, so that he can assist on this situation. We hope to see you again soon, El Cerdo Team

   Excellent evening, good food and great service. Would recommend to anyone who loves tapas to give it a try. Also, a nice touch was my son being presented with a dessert with a candle on as the waiting staff overheard us wishing him a happy birthday. Great experience
