Casa Lola in Tandridge

Nice tapas, prompt service (but maybe overselling the bread and olives!).

The truth is that everything I tried was very delicious. The staff was friendly but always very full. The price seemed a bit expensive to me but it's fine to try different tapillas!

Live music which was great, tasty food and sangria. Always friendly service

One of my go-tos for a dinner out. Friendly staff always happy to help and food is to die for. Do book in advance because it does get filled up quickly.

We love coming to Caaa Lola. The food is amazing and the staff are amazing. Lydia is a superstar making us feel super welcome and she is such a lovely lady like all the staff to be honest.♥️

staff were very very lovely and friendly, food was amazing, drinks were beautiful, atmosphere is very comforting! will definitely be back!

First time at casa Lola had a great time with friends food perfect as was the staff Will definitely be going back

This is our local go to restaurant, excellent service, excellent food, and good value. Have been going every month or so for about a year, never let is down

Great food and great service from Javi! Thank you very much for everything😍

I booked online at 2 pm and when I turned up at 7pm, they were full and said they had emailed me to tell me. When I checked, they had emailed me 20 minutes before our booking. I was then told online booking is only for requests, not an actual booking and that she was too busy to come back to me earlier. No apology. If online booking is a request, then these should be replied to far sooner or taken off of the website completely.

First time at Casa Lola last night with my girlfriend, having been recommended it by some friends and we were pleasantly surprised by how great the experience was. Whilst all staff were lovely, Lydia was particularly helpful and talked us through each of the specials etc. Food and drink was served quickly with a smile - flavours were delicious, we particularly enjoyed the calamari and the “mini” paella! Not the cheapest tapas I’ve ever had but you certainly get what you pay for in this case. Not too crowded and easy to have a conversation without yelling over people or music - which I always appreciate. Thank you to Casa Lola and team for a lovely experience - we will be visiting again!

Excellent service and the food amazing as always... the new deal at lunchtime is unbelievable value 👌

We only popped in because the traffic lights weren't working in the High Street and the area was gridlocked. What a great place to sit and eat a fairly casual lunch with a jug of Sangria and wait for the traffic to disperse. Sea bass fillet and a steak - excellent quality. Service and recommendations - fantastic. Lovely environment. A tad pricey but I appreciate that businesses are feeling the strain of ever-increasing prices.

Another great night. Good meal, great staff and lovely atmosphere. Tapas was lovely as always and even though we were last to leave as finishing drinks, no rush or pressure from staff.

Absolutely delicious tapas, the chicken croquettes were my favourite but it was all wonderful. The decor is cozy and the use of greenery to divide the tables is well thought out. All the staff members were friendly and helpful, offering advice on types and amount of dishes. There was a tiny mishap (we weren't bothered by it at all) but the head waitress went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Can't wait til we can go back again!

Unusual find in Caterham where one can get true tapas in an authentic atmosphere of the Spanish bar! Good prices for the quality of the food. Service is good but can be a bit slow during busy times.

Great food and great service. Very good with my dairy allergie.

Yet again another superb night here. Visited many times before & always first class. Excellent group of staff, the service is always friendly & super efficient. Lovely Spanish vibe - even better when they have the live music. The food here is on a different level. We have tried most of the dishes on the menu & every single one of them is absolutely delicious. Fresh ingredients cooked to order. Always a lot of specials on rotation. Must try the Octopus Galician style. Wow. Thanks to all the team. Be back soon!

went once for a work christmas party and then went back for my dads birthday. slayed so hard both times. food is amazing but also reasonably priced and staff are fantastic.

I have come to Casa Lola for many years and usually happy with food and service but today, we were seated (the restaurant as half empty) and left sitting for about 10 minutes before the waitress we had been trying to make eye contact with came over. We asked to order food with our drinks as we were starving and she told us she would take our drinks order first. She returned with the drinks and left before we even had the chance to ask about food. A waiter then walked passed so flagged him down and was told to wait 2 minutes. 10 minutes later, still no service so we left. All in all disappointing. Casa Lola do better next time.

Great food, friendly staff. Atmosphere was good. Better for meeting with friends than for a date.

2 disarrono doubles for 26 pounds... unbelievable. Plus service charge when we sat at the bar. There was very little value for the money we paid.

Can't fault the place, lovely staff, lovely food, lovely atmosphere and quick service. Have heard the owners are very good to the staff too. What more could you want?

Nice cozy place with spanish vibes and live music. The restaurant was fully booked but the staff worked really quick. They served carefully, nicely. Recomend this place. Big choise of food.

Pulpo a La gallega Vieras x3 Tortilla de patala Pinchito moruno First experience and loved the chunk scallops... Octopus soft... And lamb dish lovely and tender. Children enjoyed the meal too!

I recently had lunch in Casa Lola, and while the food and the atmosphere were delightful, the service left much to be desired. Despite the tasty dishes, the overall experience was married by rude and unprofessional service. My feedback is that management or the owner should prioritise improving the service to mach the quality of the food.

Bit limited on vegetarian options. Portions are enormous which either means you only want to order 2 things, or you feel bad having ordered 3-4 and then there being far more than you can realistically eat.

Staff were friendly and cheerful. I had the lunch set which was delicious and fulfilling. The espresso was proper and the Crema Catalana was scrumptious. The toilet was really clean too.

I hadn't been for a while, then went twice in as many weeks! Very tasty food, very good service & a lovely 'holiday' atmosphere. Lunch menu was good value & something for everyone, with half-price wine too! Evening was great, myself & my friend shared a Tapas Tower, plenty to eat! Delicious 😋

Really tasty food. I have tried the filhoses from the special menu, they are so delicious 🤤 The churros are my favourite dessert

Note: Never actually ate here when we visited but could not reduce the stars! We have just moved to the area and stumbled across this lovely tapas bar/restaurant. We had an amazing evening. Danced all night to Andy who is a resident there once a month, playing the guitar and singing, he had everyone up dancing. The staff were brilliant and the drinks were lovely too and very reasonably priced. A real gem in Caterham and we cannot wait to come back!!!

Food was 10/10 real tapas feel , staff were fantastic especially the lady who had long braids

Always great food and super friendly staff.

We had a family birthday lunch. Food was delicious. We love the tapas size dishes and thought lunch menu was great value. Staff were friendly and attentive. We’ll be back.

Really authentic Spanish restaurant, like stepping into downtown Seville. Great atmosphere and very busy with live music from an amazing guitarist when I was there. Can make things a bit loud if it's busy so choose another night if that's not your thing. I ate the vegetarian paella which was a bit disappointing and I know what a good paella is as I've just returned from Valencia! But to be fair, paella is a speciality restaurant dish so I can't be too critical. The other dishes looked great and the staff were really good even during the Christmas party rush time!

Went with my wife and another couple and had a great night. Lovely food and service ,Andy the singer was brilliant. Will be going back very soon.

What a brilliant night. From the moment we arrived staff were attentive, friendly, professional and efficient. Food was delicious, as we were a big group we had a set menu, all loved it and plentiful. Live music on the night we went, but don't think that's all the time, however, we got a fabulous meal, great service and a boogie too. Top class evening out. Highly recommend! Thank you to Claudia and all the staff for a wonderful evening.

Overrated. Paella for two was very small compared to standard original Spanish paella (the picture doesn’t really show how small the pan was), it was insipid, the mushrooms were raw and was watery. It didn’t taste like a good paella. The lady who took the order was eager to sell us a lot of other specials but when we said we’d start with the paella and then we’ll see afterwards, she made a strange face and she walked away. All the other waiters were nice and attentive though. Another thing: there was this man singing so loud that we couldn’t hear each other at the table. Way too loud, my ears are still ringing, poor staff having to hear him for hours. The atmosphere would have been better just with some lower music in the background. Not going there again.

This was to be our Christmas night out for the girls. We have had several celebrations at Casa Lola. We choose the night when Max is singing and there is a disco. Unfortunately it wasn’t the experience we were expecting. Our table was booked for 8 pm and our food arrived at 10.10 pm. Not sure why because we couldn’t really hear the explanation. Someone dropped a glass on the dance floor and despite the singer asking people not to take drinks on the floor, Many still did. Our drinks were cleared from the table while we were dancing although we hadn’t finished them. We would probably not go as a party again.

Amazing food and a good selection of Tapas choices. Good atmosphere and helpful staff. Would recommend

I have not been here in a few years after being a regular for well over a decade because I moved away. The quality of the food was good as always same qith tge drinks. It was all new staff and the restaurant vive has completely changed as a result making it much more welcoming than before. It's clear that the staff genuinely get on very well and are very attentive. Overall it was really nice to be back and as always I highly recommend.

Absolutely delicious food. Lovely staff. It's always packed for a reason! Such a good restaurant!

Nice interior, clean toilets. Excellent food, friendly and interested staff, certainly a great place to go for an evening meal.

Great food and an excellent and authentic Iberian selection The atmosphere is wonderful and the staff cannot do enough to help. Would 100% recommend it but would also advise to book ahead

First visit here and will definitely come back. Food was lovely and staff were friendly and helpful. Cant wait to return

What started as a joyful evening finished with a unpleasant experience. The welcoming was very nice and accommodating to dietary requirements. Waitress took down our order and stated that the order can take 30+ minutes due to cooking time which is understanding. Food arrived to which was very nice but was not stated that with some same food orders it comes together i.e 2 chicken skewers ordered came as 1 plate setup for 2 not sat next to eachother... one ENTIRE mains was missed off which when told to the waitress said she was not told but remembered that persons starter (mains and starter ordered together) with zero apology offered except putting the order in now and waiting another 30+ minutes while everyone else had finished there meal by that time. Same waitress then avoided all interaction with the table from taking plates away all the way down to the bill. Once we checked the bill we noticed the oysters was still charged for when they had informed us they had no oysters so we never actually got them... for what was very nice food, the service did not match by any means unfortunately and will be avoiding using this establishment in future.

Came with my to children last night it was Fantastic

The n oise was too much. People near us were very very noisy. We couldn't hear ourselves speak. Food very good.

Poor vegetarian option. Ordered vegetables but they were bland, had no seasoning, and were mainly raw except for the mushrooms. The desserts are good and generous in portions. I would like to visit again and give them a second chance.

Patrizia is an excellent host of this unique bed and breakfast. Enjoyable breakfast with fresh fruit and croissants. We stayed three nights. Nothing was too much trouble. A lot of personal information about Bologna. Very central location for walking around Bologna.

Unfortunately, it seems that this restaurant is taking advantage of the fact that many of the people that visit this restaurant aren't able to distinguish between good and bad quality food, judging by the high ratings this restaurant has. If you're a "foodie" and appreciate quality cuisine that uses quality ingredients regardless of price, then stay away. It's quite clear that this restaurant is using cheap, poor quality ingredients. For example, the alioli is literally just cheap kebab shop garlic mayonnaise that they've bought in bulk. Tastless, processsed and generally poor quality. Considering the price of their dishes, I would at least expect them to be making their own alioli. The calamri were also shockingly poor quality, and again it seems as though they've just bought them in bulk from a from a cheap frozen foods supplier. The batter is just a cheap breadcrumb mix (calamari shouldn't use breadcrumbs for starters) and has a layer of unexplained processed slime between the batter and the squid rings. Very bizzarre - a foul, tasteless texture. Depending on what you order, some of the dishes will be absolutely swimming in oil, such as the garlic chicken. This actually wouldn't be an issue if they were using high quality extra-virgin olive oil, but again it's clearly just bulk-bought cheap vegetable oil, which is not good enough considering prices they are charging. I could go on and on but you get the idea - cheap quality and generally tasteless processed food at unreasonably high prices. The service was actually quite good though so I will give them that.

We’ve visited here with friends for a birthday and were lucky enough to have the love music and dancing!! Fabulous evening and Amazing food!!! Then we’ve just had a takeaway delivery, which was once again amazing!!! Huge portions!!! Love this place!!!

We've been visiting Casa Lola since it very first opened years ago but haven't been since Covid. What a shock! Who's idea was it to stick plastic hedges between all the tables?! Terrible! Also why take off the lovely spanish tiles and replace them with that ghastly green fabric on the walls? Not sure why this was done but it's totally spoilt the decor. The food was fine (same menu as usual) and the staff were all very pleasant and efficient but they need to be as you now have to give your table back after one hour 3/4. Not even two hours. Tapas here used to be quite civilised but not anymore. However, I expect the management don't care as the place was rammed by people who obviously don't mind shovelling their food down at record speed whilst being totally hemmed in by plastic shrubs......

I visited on Valentines night (coincidence, I was there on a work trip, so not as a couple), so it was going to be busy, but me and my colleague hadn’t booked a table…! The staff were already setting up for couples as I/we arrived a 6:30pm. We were met by a young Spanish lady (part of the ownership team?), she said she could squeeze us in. She explained everything to us, made us feel like regular visitors, even though this was our first time. I ordered the pork shoulder, it fell off the bone, lush. We also saw many couples arrive, they were each treated like royalty by the older gentlemen (owner?) and the other staff, welcoming many couples as they arrived, like true valued customers. The whole experience was great, the lady who looked after us was excellent. You have to visit; so clean and immaculate, with an amazing atmosphere and hosts.

I came here for the first time on a date and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We had a selection of Tapas and a couple of cocktails. Everything we ate and drank was perfect and a friendly service was ideal. Next time I am in the area, I will definitely visit Casa Lola again.

Great family outing. Lively atmosphere with good service. There is a large menu with enough choices to please all the family.

came in for a late dinner with some friends; the food and cocktails were amazing but our sever thomas was phenomenal!! so kind and was very patient with us when we got confused over the tapas tower. he deserves all the love and kindness <3 big up thomas!

I brought my friends here on 29th September on my recommendation having been here before. The service provided by the staff was unreal (we all work in hospitality but this was even far and beyond anything we could have ever expected) Thomas is an incredibly friendly and personable waiter and a real asset to the staff. We’ll certainly be returning soon!!!

We had the most wonderful evening here! The food was delicious - every single dish! The cocktails were lovely as was the sangria. The best of all though, was the amazing service from Thomas! He couldn’t do enough for us and was so kind. We will be back soon!

Had a lovely evening with friends and partners, Service and food was spot on, very friendly staff! The Live music made the night, will be returning for sure

Nice food although what I ordered I could have easily made at home. Staff where not as welcoming as could have been. Decent meal out if it’s one of those nights you can not be bothered to cook but I wouldn’t host my birthday meal or celebration in here

I don't come in often enough, love the variety of food and the good service

It's a nice place to chill out with very good food

Wide range of dishes, generous portions, great taste and quality. Friendly service and nice ambience

Great cocktails, service and food. Thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon out x

Great Restaurant, quality food, friendly staff, and a live guitar player. Very pleased with the experience.

Really lovely evening, nice atmosphere and great food

What a lovely place. The food was great and the ambience even better.

Delicious food, brilliant staff and great atmosphere

Service was good, tapas was good, slight language barrier when it came to a few orders. Also I has a chicken and chorizo skewer and it was so dry (think it has been left under hot lights and dried out) and didn't come with any sauce at all. Deserts were massive and tasty.

We recently went for a lunch catch up with friends and the service and food were brilliant. Staff are attentive and friendly.

Great atmosphere and even better food

Nice food and lovely staff but far too noisy for me. I couldn't hear what was being said at my own table.

Lovely atmosphere, cosy inside great bar with huge selection of drinks. Great Spanish menu !

Nice atmosphere very nice food and good customer service went on a Tuesday they had half price skewers so worth it

Amazing staff, cosy envorenment, delicious food! Love it

Excellent value lunch time menu. Friendly staff.

We loved it. Great food and drinks. Nice buzzing atmosphere. Waiters very professional and kind. Will visit again.

Love the variety on the menu, so much to choose from. Really an excellent place for tapas. The service is nice and fast and the restaurant itself is clean and atmospheric. Will return.

Christmas party of 20. We all had a thoroughly good time. Food very good. Drinks flowed. Waitress and manager with personality and professionalism. Could have done with better organisation before the event IE a confirmation of the receipt of the £400 deposit, knowing I'd paid when I rang them the day before, answering of phones, ETC.

Lovely food and great service as usual, we visit quite often and have never been disappointed. Will be back again soon!

This was really great. We have the tapas and it was delicious. But the star of the show was the tiramisu. It was the best one I've ever had, and if it's on the menu I order it. Definitely going back.

Good value tapas and very tasty

Riñones al Jerez very bad. Tasted like they were cooked on the grill then dumped in the sauce. I lived in Spain for 4 yrs so I know how these should taste. Sorry, but you have not done these properly

Fabulous food and service. Vibrant atmosphere but not loud. Loved it here.

Really lovely meal for sharing. Good selection and so tasty.

Really enjoyed my time here this afternoon with my Grandson. Both meals were lovely, great service. Gave 5 stars because well worth the rating.

Usual high standard of service and food.

Such a lovely lunch , hot tasty and great selection.

Eaten here several times … great staff, great food, great atmosphere …. What’s not to like. Highly recommended!! In fact we’re well over due a visit!

Food was amazing, seafood paella was lovely too ! Will defo be revisiting, the staff are also very friendly.

Great lively venue with live music and fantastic food!

I had heard good things about this restaurant, and maybe I visited on an off day, but I was a little disappointed. The food seemed to lack flavour and was rather disappointing. I did enjoy my pudding.

Service was good and the food was outstanding as usual. There was only a couple of staff when we entered but as the restaurant filled more came in. Really good night

Nice food. Good attentive staff

Went to Casa Lola on my own as the Girlfriend had gone out with a few girls from work. Sat up at the Bar and had clear plastic screens between me and the next person. Stayed for about an hour and a Half having 3...

Liked the food, and the price was fair, but it's quite noisy and one waitress was very grumpy so 4 stars not 5 ;-)

We used to go to Las Fuentes in Purley but it’s not the same anymore so we thought we’d try Casa Lola because we are big fans of Tapas. We really enjoyed it the tapas was lovely, the fish is good too. So much so...
