   Very loud inside from music playing, to the point of the entrance door vibrating when we entered. You have to go upstairs for the food, as long as you don't mind squeezing past lot's of drunk people sitting and standing on the staircase as you go past. Food ok, but expensive for the portion sizes. Staff very helpful but rushing around.

   A really interesting take on tapas. Some lovely tastes and the right level of spice. Would definitely recommend

   Amazing food, tasty, appealing, such lovely choices on the menu. The place was so inviting and felt at comfort there. The staff were really helpful and accommodating for the allergy we had on our table as well. Perfect.

   The food is a Yorkshire menu take on traditional tapas, mainly meats and potatoes, but with interesting tastes, three different 'tapas' plates enough to fill two people up. Sadly we wasn't able to stay longer to listen to the music that night, but by all accounts it is a very good music venue and pub too.

   This was our first time at this lovely friendly restaurant, we visited over a lunchtime on Valentine’s Day, we had really enjoyable experience the food was delicious (tapas with a Yorkshire twist) we had a fab table by the window overlooking the green. I would definitely recommend a visit, in the evening they have live music that’s something I would like to see. We shall return 🙂

   Even though we had a booking, received confirmation of this abs also a text to say our table was ready, on arrival at the restaurant we were advised that the chef should have turned off the booking system. Obviously he didn’t. The staff were dreadful, never apologised and made no effort to accommodate us. They actually allowed another couple with no booking to have a table ‘as they arrived first’, never mind that we had booked! They eventually offered us a table next to the bar about the size of a drinks tray!! We left obviously and went to the Cattlemen’s instead, who looked after us superbly. Would not recommend the Yorkshire Tapas, will never return and make sure people are aware of our experience! We have never been let down before and must say it’s a very unpleasant experience! Give this place a miss

    Food was nice but it was accompanied with a 45 minute wait for food and then told something wasn't available and had to be changed. We ended up eating quite late in the evening. Staff were nice but if we go again sometime it would be good if things were organised a bit better.
