This always was one of our go to places as locals including upstairs in the Cocina Restaurant and downstairs in Barca bar for the amazing Tapas . It’s such a shame as this has gone so down hill . The tapas downstairs is limited now to hardly any dishes and food on offer is so average which you can get anywhere . We chose the Caesar salad which was box standard croutons too hard to eat . We had scotch egg which was ok and then croquettes which were totally tasteless . The tapas here used to be amazing . Such a shame as this is now our third chance hoping things would be better . Please please change your chef and get the great food back . We’re so missing the good times

Lovely service. You'll need a toothpick after eating their steak—it's dry, overcooked, and overpriced. The tapas didn't really resemble authentic Spanish cuisine; they were just small dishes.

We had a great time. The atmosphere was great. We sat outside and felt like we were on holiday. The drinks and food were amazing. Service was fantastic. I didn’t catch the girls name she had tattoos on her fingers. She was amazing proper asset. Kept us topped up on drinks all evening always asking how we were. Honestly couldn’t fault the service it was perfect. We all had a great night so Thankyou so much !

Communication/information was not clear that the restaurant wouldn't be open on a Sunday evening when we booked We were not made aware what time food was served in the bar so missed out on that so ordered room service - the chorizo and red pepper pizza at a cost of £17!! It was just tomato puree as the sauce cheddar cheese (as they had no mozzarella left) four pieces of chorizo and about five pieces of orange peppa! All the staff are super friendly and breakfast was amazing

I just thought this worth a mention. I visit most weeks and bring my elderly Mum in on the weekend for coffee in Barca Bar. We are always greeted and served with the warmth and kindness of your staff. Its a lovely cosy environment and nice to have some quality time in such lovely surroundings. We love our weekly trip there and have no plans to change our coffee meet any time soon to a different venue.

We ate here at Barca Bar this evening and I must say both the food and service was second to none. The place itself has a really nice welcoming feel to it, the staff were really attentive and the food was spot on too. I’d highly recommend the steak fajitas, but my wife’s ham & pineapple pizza was excellent too.

I've been here since this build, I am working away, every time I came home I always want to have a lunch or dinner here coz I love the place. But this time when I came if I don't approach the waiter at the door he don't come and welcome me. Then he told me to seat anywhere free. I was waiting for 20 minutes no one came to take my order and they are not busy. I went to the bar and told the lady that I was waiting for a whike and no one came to take the order. She told that she's coming over to take the order. I was waiting again for 5 minutes still no one came. Then the other waiter and waitress came I thought they will take my order, but what they've done is they just cleaning the tables. If I don't asked them that I want to order they come to me. How redeculouse these staff are. I am not really happy. You have a good hotel supposedly reputation, but when it come to your staff that they don't care your customers that is not good for your business.

We called in for lunch and were pleasantly surprised. I had 3 tapas which were all delicious, my husband had the steak sandwich and chips which was a good size and he said it was tasty. The drinks were great and the service was good. The tapas was particularly good so we’ll be returning for that.

Lovely place but very disappointed with the service and the food. Went out as a party of 8 for a birthday, we had to wait about 50mins for our food to arrive, the 2 steak plates we had come was cold, we was told it was 2 x 16oz steaks, which wasnt the case, we didnt get a blue cheese sauce after asking a few times. A fish and chips where the batter was very very dark brown, 1 sandwich with a side of chips that never came, again asking a good few times. We had a few tapas dishes, they was lovely, but £8 of 3 small potato croquettes (like ping pong size) which was disappointing. The service for drinks was poor, at one point we was asked if we would like any drinks, when the guy come across he took 1 person drink and dissappeared to get that, when he came back we had to say we also would like to order drinks. At the end of the meal we was wanting to have another round of drinks and look at the dessert menu. Which we was just met with the bill. Very disappointed as i know the restaurant upstairs was fantastic last time we ate in there.

Visited here for lunch with a friend on a break from work so time was of the essence. Our lunch took about 15 mins to come out but consider how busy it was I was happy about this. The service was as good and friendly as it always is. We both ordered the chicken fajitas, which were delicious. My only issue was how large the wraps were, I think 2 or 3 slightly smaller wraps would work better, not ta o small, something in between. I also would have like another plate to build my fajita & roll it but otherwise it was amazing!

Having made my reservation via Cocina on the website and received e mail confirmation from Cocina, we were disappointed to be sat at a table in the Barca Bar (especially as this was supposed to be a celebratory meal). Food wise the meat was fabulous, however the vegetables were tepid and the roasts had the texture of small boulders. We waited over 20 minutes with empty plates and glasses (during which time we decided not to have dessert or another drink). Ultimately we approached the bar ourselves and settled the bill. Please note this is not a reflection on the gentleman who was front of house and was working very hard ..seemingly all by himself. More a comment on staffing provisions. I am happy to pay a premium for decor, great food etc. However in this instance we found the experience lacking.

Although Google shows that the Barca Bar at Casa is open 24 hours it is not open on Sunday lunchtime, we were told that it is not open until 3 pm on Sunday so we ended up in the restaurant which IS open at lunchtime. The food was excellent as usual, we have dined at Casa on several occasions. Maybe Casa should review the content of their website which is somewhat confusing.

Attended with family for a celebratory meal. Very relaxing and somewhere a few hours just disappear. Felt like we were waiting a long time for our mains, over an hour.. but the food was very nice when it came. See pictures. The gravy was amazingly rich and sumptuous, perfect with the massive Yorkshire pudding! The Sirlon was nice and tender but didn’t blow me away. On the pricey side, I mean £8 for a brownie that didn’t taste anything different to something in Tescos was a bit disappointing. Maybe just needs a bit more creativity around it, or maybe I’ve just not caught up with inflation yet! All in all enjoyable for a meal or just a few drinks. Staff very polite and helpful.

Couldn't fault the food but oh dear what have they done to the interior. The tables are so sticky you don't feel like touching them. It would also be nice if when booking a table that you were told that you'd be perching on a high stool, not good if you have a mobility problem. However, we were kindly moved to a table when one became available. I'd also suggest that I'd expect the waitress, again long blonde hair in a pony tail, to know the menu. ie what is the type of fish? what is included in some dishes. Not necessarily her fault as even after going and asking she was told wrong because she came back with the wrong answer. What she said was not what my googling it described the dish to be and what the delivered dish was. If I'd been unable to eat cheese I would have had to send the dish back. I'm sure the fish was not what she said either but my husband was happy. No condiments offered either . Poor table service overall.

Unbelievable. I been a guest in literally hundreds of hotels all over the world and never have I had a rude blonde serving girl with a pony tail stroll up to me and try and tell me where I can and can’t sit in a public bar area. Not that there were any reserved areas just being awkward about it. Then I asked for a receipt for my food and beverage and instead was given a room bill. Clearly she doesn’t know the difference. So, at the end, to avoid leaving without paying I asked the guy behind the bar to check the paperwork and indeed she’d failed to record my order or generate a proper receipt. Total incompetence!

Been here lots of times for a meal in the bar. Disappointed today. The table was dirty, it was cleaned when we mentioned it to the waitress. The meal was average. Had to send my drink back as it was soda not lemonade. Went to pay at the bar told the barman we were disappointed, he asked if anyone had been to us during our meal + had we told them. No one had been to us. He said we could fill out a comment card. All in all very disappointed.

We were staying at the Casa hotel and went to Barca for pre dinner cocktails. Service was great with a good choice on the menu including non alcoholic cocktails. I choose a Long Island Iced Tea and my husband chose the Espresso Martini. The prices were reasonable at £7 each given that last month in New York we paid $27 for a cocktail!! The drinks were delicious and the martini was one of the best - my husband loves espresso martinis!! My Long Island Iced Tea was also delicious so I just had to have a second! Would definitely recommend this bar

We have eaten at this hotel before in the evening whilst visiting family and it was wonderful. We had to attend a funeral and stopped off for lunch before. We sat in the bar downstairs (restaurant not open at lunchtime). There were 4 of us one had a wrap (can't do much wrong with that) one had sausage and mash (can't do much wrong with that) and two of us had Pizza's. They were so over cooked that the dough was dark brown the topping was supposed to be tomato and cheese and we asked for anchovies - yes we have had them before and they are salty and normally you have a pizza with about 3 - 4 anchovies on the top. The whole of the pizza was covered with anchovies and was so salty. We all ordered soft drinks with no ice (driving etc.,) and when we asked for a top up of one coke, the same waitress bought it with ice - nothing much but you thought she would have remembered. It took about 15 mins for the table to be cleared before we could sit down (two glasses and a carton on it). Whilst paying £65.70 for lunch my husband mentioned about the pizza's and the waitress said why didn't you say something - we had no choice as we had to attend the funeral. Why the kitchen sent out such disgusting pizza's in the first place was quite a puzzle. I will copy this review to the hotel itself. I go by what I am given and if it is good, like the last time we ate I will say so, but this was really disgusting and the staff should be ashamed about serving it.

This is the bar at the Casa hotel which serves good bar food of restaurant quality. We have been a few times and each time the food has been superb. The fish and chips are wonderful as are many of the tapas or starters. I had a burger that was huge and.very succulent. My wife loves the leek and potato soup - a meal in itself although only a starter. As for desserts, our favourite is a New York cheesecake that is "to die for". The only reason I have not given the top rating is down to one occasion when we had a long wait for meals and when our reserved table had been given to someone else and we had to wait for a table to be free. However, the food is good so it overcomes such difficulties.

The rib-eyed steak was also superb and cooked to perfection again with great presentation. Although I didn't try the fajita's the comments on them were great and I just loved the presentation.

Two of us had a meal in the Barca bar in the week before Christmas. We started with excellent Tapas of bacon &cheese croquettes and garlic prawns. Our main course was fish and chips with mushy peas and tartare sauce and it was so tasty. The New York style cheesecake was the best ever. This was our first visit to this ground floor bar within the Casa Hotel and it won't be our last. Service was attentive and friendly and prices, although hotels can be much much higher, these were actually competitive and little more than a lot of bars and restaurants locally.

Recently came here with friends to celebrate my wife's birthday. The standard was pretty good, I think it has improved on recent times and there seemed to be a bit more variety than previously. We ordered calimari, croquettas, and the meat platter which were all really nice, with scotch eggs which were not amazing but still not bad. The waiter got a bit defensive when we ordered and I told him to bring things out as they were cooked, rather than waiting until everything was ready, as we were all sharing and wanted to eat things while they were hot. At this point he said something along the lines of "I can't communicate this to the kitchen, it will be ready when it's ready" which was a bit unnecessary as he could have just said "I'll see what I can do" so he worked his way out of a tip but it was nice other than that.

Disappointed with this one, so crowed with wedding guests and other that social conversation not possible. To conduct business meetings or just meet for a drink somewhere else is advisable. Went to meet 6friends there and we had to shout at each other to be heard over the noise. Gave up and moved elsewhere, they should advertise their frequent conferences and wedding plans to allow others to avoid such events.

Yes this was a convenient place for us to meet local friends and us get home easily. Usual prices for hotel bar drinks which is slightly on the pricey side but not too extortionate. We had reserved a table with a view of maybe eating in the cocina restaurant instead. Anyway we had a few afternoon drinks on the terrace first before we decided. Sun was shining and the drinks flowing nicely. we decided to eat in the bar as there was plenty on the menu to keep us happy. We were set up in a booth that was reserved and offered some privacy while being part of the action. We selected a range of tapas dishes and ribeye steak (which I think to be taken from their own locally bred cattle and well looked after). All was delicious and the steak cooked as ordered. The booth did resemble the Barcelona arty style which I loved and to say we were in a hotel bar I think a good job has been done to create an atmosphere. The tapas were well presented with good quality ingredients and cooking. The staff were great though out the night and Jess was friendly and had a laugh when interacting with us. Will definitely be returning for more of the same and would probably be more inclined to stay over as the hotel itself is nicely presented. well done and thanks!

We stayed at this hotel for four nights an had one lunch and four evening meals here. The sandwiches are very nice, if a little on the large side. The choice for evening meals was good and every meal that we had was delicious.

I've been here a few times in the Bar for drinks, with friends and for our Christmas party! Their cocktails are good and very consistent. Nibbles, bread and olives etc are also good quality. Not eaten here properly so I can't comment on the food, but based on everything else I'm sure it's good. Bar men are really nice, some staff more talkative/confident than others (which we like) Really nice, classy place to have a drink any day of the week.

I ate here whilst staying in the Casa hotel on Monday night and have to say I was suitably impressed.The tapas were fantastic, as were the fajitas, not to mention the ice cold Estrella Damm.Well done to all, see you soon.

This bar has a great atmosphere with some first class single malt Scotch whisky, if you need a nightcap or just a glass of something before dinner - the art is particularly attractive

We have been 2 or 3 times on a Friday night for posh drinks and tapas. We like the fact that they will serve your drinks and food to your table. Tapas is good but it has been slightly better on previous visits - the calamari was all crunch and very little fish. Nice atmosphere and relaxed.

Nice hotel with really friendly staff however the food I was served was raw in the middle which was the same for everyone else in our group so pretty poor but the staff sorted us with some cakes after to make up for it and but the price of the drinks in the bar is a bit steep

We had lunch here today and I ordered Club Sandwich which in the menu said it was with alioli. I was really looking forward to this little taste of Spain in my lunch but alas, although the food was very good, there was not even a hint of alioli about it. The girl serving us was also rather miserable. Verdict: it was OK but I doubt I will go again.

The food we had here was amazing. Great cocktails and the bar staff were happy to substitute spirits to make me sweet cocktails which was great. Some of the staff were lovely. Some miserable. All in all we had a great time and will be returning

I took my wife for a meal for her birthday, we arrived early to have a cocktail in the bar before our meal, there were six empty tables but none of them were clean enough to sit at, people had eaten bar snacks but had left the tables in a terrible state so we stood at the bar,they still hadn't been cleared 30 minutes later when we went for our meal which was faultless the only thing that let it down for me was the waitress asked if we would like water on our table which we said yes but when I received the bill they had charged me £3.50 for tap water which I think was petty as the bill came to well over £100 for the two of us.

On a whim we saw the hotel and drove around the roundabout to enjoy a tapas lunch. Memories of wonderful meatballs, potato bravas, stuffed mushrooms were just that. The current menu is okay but very limited. We enjoyed the cheese croquettes, prawns, scotch eggs and hummus, but with a coffee and half a lager the cost was just under £30. We had picked the best of the menu, perfectly ok, but there was nothing left to tempt us back for a return lunch. Worth a visit, but be prepared to be surrounded by officeless business people ordering sandwiches and using laptops.

My boyfriend and I went to Barca bar on Friday 15th January, which was not our first visit- we have been many times and it never lets us down. We shared a bottle of Macabeo which was enjoyable and easy to drink. We ordered fajitas each which were delicious and a portion of sweet potato wedges to share which were unbelievable! We sat in a booth which was very comfortable and private and was served by a lovely lady. I always enjoy spending time at Casa, not only in the bar but in the restaurant also and would definitely recommend it to anyone!

Nice bar warm and friendly even in the extremely busy Christmas period. Had a few pints prior to heading out for a meal. I like that for a big hotel it actually has real ale on a hand pump.

The menu is varied. There are about 12 different tapas choices, salads, paninis/sandwiches, a pizza, burger, fish and chips and I had fajitas. This came with a choice of chicken or beef.We went at lunch time and hadn't booked but got a table no problem. It is a relatively small restaurant/bar but well decorated and had a great vibe about it. It's a smart/casual place. You could go here if you are just wanting to drink and not get food.Service was efficient and the staff were friendly. The food was really tasty and portion sizes were very generous. Certainly didn't leave hungry.As it is a hotel there is plenty of free parking.Should I be in the area again then I would definitely go again.

I met my good friend here for a quick afternoon birthday drink.4 hours later we were still there we had gossiped the hours away over glasses of Cava, Prosecco and some really impressive (and surprisingly good value) sandwich platters.We were lucky it was a summers day and so the terrace was open, it felt like we were abroad. The very smartly dressed waiter was very professional and attentive and helped us move indoors when it started to shower.The decor is lovely Spanish but contemporary, it has a good feel, the terrace is basically overlooking the car park but nice to be outdoors all the same.Am looking forward to visiting again. a great meeting point for us friends living at opposite ends of town.

Both me and my friend dined here on Monday evening and what a great time me had. We had a few of the tapas to start and both had the fish and chips for mains and for £10.50 it represents excellent value for money!The only issue was the volume of the football on the tele - maybe just down a few knocks.Thanks again!

This is my favourite bar in Chesterfield Has a lovely continental/Spanish feel to it with an excellent variety of decent spirits, mixed beers on draft and bottled. They are also pretty good at the cocktails and excellent snack food.

Good range of cocktails, drinks and bar snacks in a pleasant wood panelled rather quirkly designed bar. Specials available and there's a Spanish theme to the menu and the decor. Outdoor seating available too and as it's sunny, you could almost be in Spain...apart from the dual carriageway and Tesco opposite

We found the Rectory in Guide Michelin and as always the seem to deliver on their recommendations. It was a little hard to find the place, but one there we got a nice table facing the garden. Starters excellent - the lobster and the squid. The Duck as a main course also very good. The pasta with truffles needed more taste. The cheeses were served on a hot plate and melted - more raclette than selected cheeses. Attentive and friendly staff.
