Bodega Cocktail Bar & Restaurant in Stockport

Fantastic Place Food was amazing and staff couldn’t do enough. Very attentive Cocktails were delicious. Fully Accessible and well spaced out restaurant. My Dad was in a mobility scooter and didn’t have a problem with access which is rare. Will definitely be returning 😃

What can I say? The taste of the food is still dancing on my tongue. You can’t fault this restaurant. Love it. The food is amazing and the portion size are extremely generous. Every dish was delicious. 100% recommendations from me. Myself and my family were made very welcome and it made my Birthday perfect. Thank you to all at Bodgega. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I do a 30 mile round trip to this restaurant because I love it so much.

Second time we’ve been and a definite fall in quality. The restaurant is dark and a bit cold, and I found the waitress to be cold the point of rudeness also. It was very very quiet in there with no atmosphere (wish we’d have gone over the road). The cocktails tasted weak. The prices for food have gone up, ok fair enough but the portions are smaller too so it’s far less value for money. The food was ok, hot, but you kind of feel uncomfortable eating somewhere cold, dark and so quiet. Overall with the lack of atmosphere and the money spent for a pretty poor overall experience I think we’ll give it a miss in future and return to the excellent La Cueva up the road in Cheadle.

1st time visit last night with friends. We had a mix of tapas dishes between us all, food was nothing short of amazing, great selection, good portions and very tasty. Service seemed a little slow on occasion, trying to catch someone's attention to order drinks and get the bill, although the service for bringing the food out once ordered was rapid.

Had a great evening, food was fantastic and staff very nice. Already looking forward to our next visit. Please give the restaurant a try, you will not be disappointed. Thanks for a lovely evening

Visited on New years Eve, food was delicious served as it was ready , nice and hot , we had a mixture of small tapas plates then opted for the steak , sea bass and lamb sizzlers as our mains .Staff were friendly and attentive … the only reason It is a 3 star review and not a 5 is the seating area unfortunately. We were sat at the back near the toilets which seemed to be the only area that could accommodate our size of party . The draft from the door to the toilets was horrendous,staff did keep closing it but when that was closed the draft from the back of the walled seating area was just as bad if not worse . We had to stuff our coats down the back to try and stop it, when that failed we put our coats on ! If you sort this out it would definitely be a 5 😊

We visited on Christmas Eve, it was absolutely dead, though we had had a booking for 6 weeks. On the online booking form you can specify vouchers and occasions, I had stated I had a groupon voucher (after checking there were no exempt dates in the t&c which there were not) and that we were celebrating a birthday. When we arrived we checked again we could order from the standard menu (on which we noticed the prices had increased) and the waitress sent another waiter over who said Christmas Eve was a holiday and they don’t allow vouchers but they’d have to accept it this one time, and that in the future I needed to fill the booking form in properly ‘for future reference’ despite the fact I had, and had the booking confirmation to prove it!(they refused to look at my phone!) and had checked the t&cs and given 6 weeks notice! We felt so uncomfortable and patronised in the literally silent restaurant we decided to pay for our drinks and leave. On hearing this the waiter came over again and ‘insisted we stay for our children since we’d dressed up’ (we were wearing Christmas clothes as we’d been to the circus). Given the choice of being served by two incredibly rude and patronising staff in an empty restaurant (and spending a good £100 on top of our voucher) we decided the occasion celebration had been ruined so we opted again to leave (it was getting embarrassing at this point). He waived the drinks (we’d only ordered anyway as we were planning on getting food) as he clearly realised (or at least I hope so) that he’d offended us. Awful customer service, zero Christmas spirit or atmosphere, we left the restaurant as empty as we found it and had a great meal locally elsewhere. A masterclass on how to lose customers.

Was gifted this as a present for christmas So me and my partner visited for the first time Was not disappointed Lovely staff Nice modern decor Food portions very generous and flavour amazing Highly recommended will be back 👌

Never having personally done a bottomless brunch before decided to go to this venue with friends for our annual Christmas ladies outing. As one of the party doesn’t drink anything other than lager. I phoned ahead at time of making reservation to ask if it was ok if she could have lager I was told it wasn’t a problem. We were met with a surly faced man and requested our drinks he told us lager was not an option we explained that we’d cleared this on booking as we’d have changed venue he reluctantly agreed! Not a good start.. we proceeded to try the cocktails wanting to try each one. On asking for another drink, we were given a look of disapproval as we were on the dregs of our drinks and I presume not allowed to order until the glasses were drained.. I’m sorry we are not children… thankfully someone else arrived to serve us!! We decided to have one last drink we looked for someone to order from after 5 mins or so we ordered from the waitress who looked nervous to take the order… she came back and told us that as we’d not ordered 15 mins before the end of the session we couldn’t have another drink!! Is this such a thing ? 90 minutes that isn’t 90 minutes bottomless drinks that aren’t bottomless… this was not hospitality at its finest.., food was good hence the 3 stars but all in all a bad experience… never known anything like this. Customer is key. We were made to feel very unwelcome. This venue has lost custom from ladies that regularly dine out in the area. I will certainly pass on feedback to the people that ask if the place is worth a visit .., waitress was lovely that said. I never normally leave negative reviews but this deserves calling out… service with a smile pays dividends… No Christmas cheer here …

Impromptu lunch with my son and daughter, the tapas was second to none it was absolutely amazing definitely worth a visit.

In our opinion good Tapas has been so hard to find in Greater Manchester for 20+ years, but the food in Bodega Gatley is so so good. We've visited twice in the past 3/4 weeks, had 12 dishes (9 different & 3 the same because they're personal favourites) and you'd genuinely have difficulty rating the taste & flavours in each dish in any type of order because everything is a taste sensation. We can especially recommend the mixed bread basket & alioli, Gambas Pil Pil, Pork Belly, Sacuk (Mediterranean Spicy Sausage), Lamb Stofado & Chorizo. Cocktails are fantastic too. The friendly staff, food, drinks, restaurant interior & atmosphere make for an all round perfect dining experience.

This is a really lovely tapas restaurant with delicious food. I attended with my young daughter early evening and every dish was very tasty; I highly recommend! The interior of the restaurant is very attractive and cosy and overall we had a very positive experience and will happily return.

Came here for tea midweek and wasn’t disappointed, lovely looking place and gorgeous food with great staff too! Will be returning

I love this place. Lovely food and service. Would recommend the gambas pul pul and polka ala cream.Long Island Ice tea and Espresso Martini at its best !

Visited Bodega today for the 2nd time for some lunch and really enjoyed our visit. We ordered the Cajun Chicken Burger, Roasted Vegetable Ciabatta and Hummus with Pitta. Previously visited and had the English Breakfast. Food portions are excellent and great value for money with the quality of the food. Service very pleasant and really nicely decorated restaurant. Will try to get back soon for the tapas in the evening as have some friends who regularly visit. Nice to have another really good restaurant in Gatley village.

Exceptional food, always cooked fresh, visited a few times now and will definitely be back. Staff are great, atmosphere is really relaxed. Highly recommend

Second time and once again did not disappoint. amazing food, good atmosphere, friendly staff and great cocktails. well worth a visit.

It is our second visit to Bodega. The food and service were fantastic again - would strongly recommend. Cocktails excellent too.

Had a lovely meal here, I had tasty tapas and my friend had chicken sizzler, the red wine was delicious and the service was very good, had a nice ambience also, Will come again

Enjoyed every dish the food and service was amazing and the few cocktails we had didn’t disappoint.We would definitely visit again when in the area.

Been here a few times. Unfortunately always disappointed with the food. It's not terrible, just bland. It feels like it lacks identity. Is it a Spanish place, or Spanish plus a bit of something else. Think it would be better if they cut the menu...

This is an excellent addition to the Gatley scene. Four of us enjoyed a good mix of starters and main courses with a nice choice of wines in addition. We will certainly be visiting again

Excellent food and service. Been for lunch which was impressive quality and great value. Good coffee too! The tapas was sublime. Pork belly and prawns highly recommended. But it's the hospitality and service that makes this place shine. Great to see it in Gatley.

We live in Gatley and were really pleased to see these guys opening in a bar that recently closed down. I’m always apprehensive about new places but Bodega was top drawer on first visit. We had gambas, lamb, chicken and salad - all the standard...

Bobbed in for a quick drink one afternoon with my wife, it was quiet but staff were attentive, we decided to call back for a family meal. We were not disappointed. Staff were really friendly, helpful in deciding what to order. The food tasted fresh...

Delicious food, lovely staff, cocktails need improvement But apart from that all round amazing . Will recommend to family and friends . Great addition to gatley .

Absolutely amazing food, atmosphere and staff. We all had various tapas dishes and loved every single one, they were all delicious! Will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to everyone.

Warm welcome on arrival, waiter talked us through the menu and the chef also engaged with us in terms of our order. We had chicken skewers, meatballs and vegetarian paella absolutely fabulous!. We’ll definitely be back, but spoilt for choice - breakfast, lunch or dinner?...

Went here a few weeks after opening and really wanted it to be good. Always happy to support a local business but god it was terrible. I’ve had my fair share of average tapas but this was by far the worst in a long time....

Quick lunch. Service was great food was good. Price was very reasonable. We ate from the lunch menu as the evening menu doesn’t start until 4pm and we had just missed breakfast (served until 1pm). Look forward to returning to try the rest of the...

I reckon it’s an act of bravery to open a restaurant in these times. And Bodega has an interesting offering. That kicks off in the morning with a range of British breakfast items (which remain on offer till 4pm). From lunch, the menu expands to...

I called today and can honestly say it was lovely. Food was amazing and very generous portions. The restaurant itself is spotlessly clean and looks amazing. Very tastefully done throughout. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Even though it was very busy it was...

Had to do a review as came to try this place out for the first time with my partner in December after so many people in the community have raved about it and was blown away. Food is all delicious, piping hot and fresh. Meatballs...

Thought we’d give this place a try as it’s newly opened and was really looking forward to it. Absolutely terrible. Pork belly dry as anything and rock hard to the point most of it was inedible, massively over cooked. Lamb sizzler was the cheapest poor...

Went here tonight with friends for what we thought would be a nice meal trying somewhere new. How was we wrong, service was very slow, unsure if staff were even old enough to serve alcohol, one member of staff asked what rekordalig was to us...

A friend eulogised about this and recommended we try it .He was right .It's a brilliant addition to the local scene (and just yards from buses and the train station for those willing to travel and wanting to drink) .Lovely atmosphere, prompt service ,friendly staff...
