Casa Manolo, Clapham Junction in Wandsworth

If you are looking for a gastronomic experience that transports you directly to Spain. This restaurant is the perfect place or any of the 4 in the city. The atmosphere is cozy and the warmth of the staff makes you feel at home. The selection of spectacular hams and the delicious creamy croquettes, their wine list will not disappoint you. Highly recommended!

Ordered 5 tapas dishes but only 3 arrived, one at a time with ages in between them.. Also the Spanish omelette was awful. Will never go again. Truly terrible evening.

Amazing delious food Great 👍 atmosphere Amazing lovely staff And Amazing Spanish 🎶 🎵 and dancing 💃 I'm gonna come every month for the dancing 🕺 event And Maria Amazing lady ❤️

Muy buenas tapas auténticas. Mucho mejor que el más caro Vagabundo en el camino. Engañando frente a la tienda / restaurante, ya que parece más un café. Pero el vino y la comida eran de primera categoría. Inténtalo. ¡Volveré seguro!

Nice atmosphere and good waiters. She recommend the wine for us which she was thinking is best and she was right.

A lovely authentic Spanish restaurant/shop, a short walk from Clapham junction, we had a delicious paella with a lovely red (and bought a bottle to take home). Staff are Spanish and very engaging.

Yammy food, chilled atmosphere and great customer service from the 2 lovely ladies working there. Will definitely return. The octopus is soo delicious and first time I tried the toasties which was soo good

I use to go there for the sandwiches with special ham but lately, to save money, they started to use old bread re warmed and it was so hard to bite ! I complained with the server but she said I was wrong 🤦‍♂️

Excellent place to replenish the food that one needs for a good lunch or dinner, being Spanish I appreciate these places far from home, and even more remembering the cancellation a few months ago of the Setenil de las Bodegas trail... for four drops... here in London would never happen that. Furthermore, the proportions are enormous, for the ham bone I ordered, we will eat 50 people for a week. 100% recommended!

Bought some cracklings and they were horrendously rancid, despite having a few months until expiry date. I had to toss them so emailed to flag the issue. This was 10 days ago and I never received any answer. Very disappointing.

Overpriced and gazpacho is not made on the house has stated by the waitress.

I have never seen any Spanish restaurants in London before, so was glad to find one. I enjoyed my paella. The customer service was friendly

Simply the greatest, most high quality Spanish jamon in the UK. Great atmosphere, wine, and incredible staff who will make you feel welcome. Interested in the history and culture of Iberico? Talk to Maria! This place is a gem in London.

Love this place. There's an actual bar counter à la Spanish barra de bar, and it really makes me feel like I'm back home. The food is top quality, and honestly, the prices are reasonable for London. My favorites so far are the gazpacho, the non-alcoholic Estrella Galicia beer, and the ham sandwich. I'm making this place a regular stop after my basketball training.

Peppers good. Mushroom sauce ok though mushrooms tasted as of from.a can. Meatballs very bland. Potato omelette rather soggy. Service not above the minimum. Can't recommend.

We went early on a Monday evening and the restaurant was quiet. But the food and wine was very good and the service was very friendly. It’s definitely a place we’ll return too.

Really disappointed to be writing this review. The food is far too salty - unsure if this was just a bad day. But the portions!!! My lord the portions aren’t even big enough for a toddler. I ordered the callos, octopus and manitas de cerdo. The portion of callos was ridiculous, the octopus was supposed to come with mash potatoes, when i dig into it. It was the most thinest wet spread at the bottom not even a spoonful. I was really excited to order from here but definitely wouldn’t bother ordering delivery again. Please look into to getting better and bigger containers. Your customers want to be fed! Currently have oven food cooking as i’m left starving after spending £40+ on nothing.

Brilliant hospitality. Fantastic service. Lovely food.

We all loved the good slingshot and the food was very delicious. thank you!

Great evening, arrived on a night of feeebies!!!

I had an amazing experience here! The food was really good and the staff was super friendly, love the playlist as well.

At Casa Manolo in Clapham- Brilliant Tapas - Lovely Girls serving and throughly enjoyed! Reason only 4 stars for Atmosphere is its 17.00 hrs and very quiet - Great food tho!!

Value for money tasty food. A nice small restaurant with nice decoration. Maria was very polite and friendly. Gracias!

Amazing place! Amazing service! Kevin is fantastic!!! Thanks well be back!

Incredible service from Kevin, very friendly and knowledgeable too! Really nice small place in the heart of putney. Lovely for a date night and very very reasonable pricing for the quality of food. Highly recommend for a great feast and lovely sangria ❤️

As someone who has lived in Spain it's always hard to find authentic tapas in London that really meets up to the standards you get abroad but wow this didn't disappoint. Spanish chefs in the kitchen and great staff.

We were here for dinner. It was great service! I really recommend the melon with ham! So good

Absolutely fantastic evening! Maria, our waitress was brilliant!

Great experience and high quality food

Great food and great service from Maria.

It’s a shame because the food quality used to be excellent but the croquettes were tiny and not great. Same with the wine serving. Not quite the right size and when I raised the issue the answer was both ridiculous and shocking, aparently the have a mark on the glass which is the signature of the bar… ridiculous considering the wine glass was £9. I hope they review what they are doing and go back to the high standard they had.

Disappointing visit. Food was mediocre. The sharing boards small and not good value. We didn't enjoy the wine. The staff was pleasant but didn't seem to have much knowledge about the wines. Sadly, wouldn't be back for a while.

Very good lunch experience, kind staff!

Disappointing Customer Service Experience at Casa Manolo I recently purchased a bottle of red wine, Rioja Reserva 2018, from Casa Manolo. Unfortunately, on my way back home, the package bag provided by the shop broke, resulting in the bottle breaking as well. Naturally, I reached out to the shop via email to address the issue, but received no response. Concerned, I decided to call and speak with the general manager. To my dismay, instead of understanding my situation, the general manager implied that I was attempting fraud. Despite providing evidence of purchase and even photos of the broken bag, she refused to provide a refund or replacement. The indifferent attitude displayed by the general manager was both surprising and disappointing, especially considering Casa Manolo is a family-run business. As a customer, I expected better treatment and resolution to such an unfortunate incident. Unfortunately, my experience with their customer service fell far below expectations. After reading some of the recent reviews on here, i am not surprised by their services.

My daughter and I wanted the lunch deal for £12 per person. It does say on the window this price is for take away only but in small print. I would have expected to be told that dining in was going to be priced differently so I could have ordered something different. Food is great. Prices are high.

Absolutely love their Bocadillo de Jamón Serrano. If you think a baguette is just a baguette and nothing special you should try this one ☝️ 🔝 💯

Really enjoyed - food and service great

Bad services.. very very slow, dull, and not cozy at all. Some products in the menu are good but most of them are not well coocked. Some years ago, precovid, the overpriced menu/service was still worthy but now... I would go just for jamón ocasionally. Change STAFF ASAP

I’ve been meaning to write a review for Casa Manolo Clapham. I first found it by chance looking for lunch with my daughter. We enjoyed lovely Tapas and lovely Spanish waiting staff. I’ve since been back on separate occasions with my son, daughter in law, and lunch with two close friends. It’s quite charming in its casual approach, and warm welcome. We have a friends special birthday coming up very soon, and it’s under consideration to have it at Casa Manolo. If you think about going, do!

I recently visited Casa Manolo for drinks and was disappointed with my experience. While I've enjoyed their vermouth in the past, I was surprised to find the price had doubled since my last visit without any noticeable improvement in quantity or quality. The service was lacking as I had to request a proper pour, only to be charged double for the same drink. Its not the first time I visit the place, been there a couple of times and they always charged me 5 pounds for a good glass of vermouth, so very happy and came back. But as i mentioned this time the waitress pour a ridiculous low quantity of vermouth on my first drink, so i told her kindly to pour a little bit more and what she did is charge us as a double without any warning, really disappointing. You are charging double ammount of money for the same quantity I used to have for half the price only a few weeks ago! As for the food options were limited, and two items we ordered were unavailable. Overall mediocre menu. Not too bad but nothing impressive, especially for the prices they charge. Overall, it was a disappointing visit, I hope they address these issues for future patrons. I don't think I will ever come back again.

Unfortunately have to give this place 2 stars, even the staff were really nice. I was lied to how many grams of Jamon I am buying. I bought jamon iberico de bellota, 5J, the most expensive product they offer. They state that in the pack it is 100 grams however when I arrived back home I decided to check out of interest if it’s really 100 grams. And guess what it was 80 grams and 20 grams missing. I paid £29 and the %20 of the products were missing. I don’t believe it’s a coincidence, most likely this is how people get lied to. Make sure you check what’s in the package even it states it is what they tell you it is.

Not worth the calories or the price. The special antipasto were olives from a can that I often buy in the supermarket, the croquettes were quite nice (slightly burnt) but pretty sure they had been bought from the supermarket freezer section, and the paella had pre-prepared supermarket veg in it, basically something you would make at home for a mid-week dinner 🤣 Whilst it all tasted pleasant, definitely not worth the price. The wine was nice though.... An amusing experience if you have a sense of humour, but wouldn't recommend for a special night out, just a desperate 'there's no space anywhere else and I'm really hungry option.'

Menu is extensive and the food is incredible!! Wine to pair with your Meal, also try the sherry! Service is friendly and easy. Love love love this place!

Great staff, fantastic food and the draft beer is to die for. If your not sure what to order just ask Maria and she will talk you through the menu.

Best ham ever!! Strongly recommended

Had a great time! The food was really good and the atmosphere cozy and friendly. Would definitely recommend!

The best tapas and draught beer in the zone

Hi, I’m want to start off by saying that I truly love your restaurant – I love the food, the events, the people, the atmosphere. I’ve even found myself buying gift baskets from you guys for valentines, anniversaries and Father’s Day. Which makes this note harder to write. I don’t like leaving bad reviews but after the events last night, I feel I have to. Four weeks ago, I made a reservation to book a table for 2 for the Flamenco show on November 16th at the Clapham location at 8pm as advertised online. I even spoke to two different people yesterday (November 16th) during the day who confirmed my reservation. To my surprise, I arrived at the restaurant last night 10mins before my reservation was due to start and your staff found it amusing when I said that I had a reservation. They told me that more people had shown up than they had anticipated so they decided not to honour reservations, especially because they didn’t want to feel bad for telling people not to sit at tables because they were reserved. They even said I should have come earlier, even though my reservation was not till 8pm. For a second, I thought they were joking but sadly they weren’t. I was told that I could just stand in the packed restaurant and watch the show. This to me showed lack of seriousness as a restaurant and from the staff. I didn’t book a table just to watch the show. I booked a table to have dinner. And for the issue to be dismissed just like that is incredibly frustrating, as a long-standing customer, especially when I did exactly what I was told through your ad - make a reservation weeks ago. In the restaurant industry, priority is always be given to those who actually took the time to make reservations and planned on attending weeks in advance, not to those who just turn up last minute. In the future, please don’t advertise to book a table and then decide not to honour the reservations. This is called bait and switch and it’s considered not good business practice. You are a restaurant, so it shouldn’t be unusual to put “reserved” signs on tables. People are used to that. Last night was supposed to be a fun night for my mom who was visiting from the States. But instead, we felt pretty dismissed and were left scrambling trying to find a restaurant to have dinner last minute on a Thursday night.

Very dissapointed. Booked for a special ocassion, called to confirmed, however no table even chairs at the bar on arrival. Manager ignoring while awaiting for available table, we had to leave after an hour standing. Not recommended poor service and manager atitude.

We came for the tapas taster night, and it did not disappoint. Great wine with friendly waiters, and every 10 minutes they brought out a different taster. So delicious, and we also decided to order a few plates which again did not disappoint. Fresh, good quality ingredients, that they are proud of and great value. Definitely would recommend.

Lovely dinner here. We had the tapas to share and a paella. Lovely service and fun vibes

Unreal experience, Kevin was great and great service would recommend.

Always walked past this place and it looked intriguing, finally went, staff ok and seating ok but seriously not good value £22 for a tiny plate of cheese and ham . Seriously be warned. They even tried to charge us more for bread which was noted on the menu under the dish. Ham and cheese ok but nothing special to even consider charging £22 for hardly anything. Whilst we were there a lady also got her prada bag stolen, hardly anyone in but someone still managed to steal her bag. Be warned, better value and experience elsewhere.

Esto no es Cocina Española , y te lo sirven recalentado ,mi recomendación busquen otra opción de restaurante Español

Absolutely amazing place ! Very friendly and amazing foods. Recommend for a taste of Spain♡

Wonderful place for authentic Spanish food! The service is great as well. The tortilla de patatas is 10/10! Will definitely be back :)

Como si estas en españa de verdad!!!! La tortilla de patatas y las croquetas de jamón 10/10

Comida de sabor único... Atendimento nota 1000... Tudo de bom

Good basic spanish food close to Clapham Junction

Nice place, I was waiting for the bus opposite and I saw this nice bar, I had couple of 🍻 ,nice place nice 😀 ambience, fully recommended

Lovely traditional food, great atmosphere and staff.

Best iberico ham sandwich in London. I thoroughly reccomend you try it! Maria is very helpful and always smiling!

It is a very good place if you want to eat good spanish food but sometimes a bit pricy. jamon iberico and croquetas are the best

Foind this place by chance whilst waiting for a train. Everything was absolutely spot on. Food was sensational and authentic, service friendly and quick - really was a great experience, Well done!

I was really disappointed by this place, my original thought was 'ahh cool little Spanish Tapas bar in the high street. Reality is not really Tapas at all and staff couldn't wait to push us out of the door. I will say the signature Truffle cheese and the Jamon was very good, but overall, two glasses of wine and four 'tapas' setting me back just shy of £100? That was a WOW moment. I won't be rushing back.

Amazing food! Great people with the best Spanish ham! 10/10 🥩🇪🇸

My cheese and jamón bellota was a little stale. After living in Spain for many years it didn't quite relive my memory. £18 for extremely thin pieces of cheese, jamón I can understand as expensive 😳🤷🏽‍♀️

Buen lugar para pasar un rato agradable y la comida está bien.

Beautiful place to dine, perfect atmosphere and VERY authentic

Es como estar en casa, auténtico. Las croquetas muy buenas y la tosta de jamón, con el pan calentito, buenísima. Lo mejor el personal, siempre muy agradable.

Buenísima tosta de Jamon Repetiré

A gem of a tapas place. Seems thousands walk by it each day as is not crowded. Do step in and try it though. Food is terrific

Todo super bueno mi preferido es el lomo me encanta mis amigas y yo volveremos para cenar.

Good food and wine. A little pricey for what it is. The service is super slow. The people are nice though.

I'm not in the habit of writing critical restaurant reviews. I usually just let bad experiences pass but this one was so poor and so overpriced that I have decided to leave this one. I should have realised the pricing when I was told that a piece of pork loin I wanted to buy cost £40. But I was with one of my sons and one of my grandchildren and I wasn't paying enough attention. The cost of the potatoes bravas I bought for my three year old grandson says it all. £10 for a plate of diced potatoes no larger than a normal side dish elsewhere. Silly price for such an average dish.The rest of the food was just about okay but nothing special. I came away feeling ripped off even though I know about rising food prices and costs as I regularly eat out all over London.

Excellent service, I’ll come back… for sure ✔️

친절한듯 친절하지않은 … 저렴하지않은 가격..스페인 식당이지만, 런던인데 영어를 잘 못하심.. 음식맛은 나쁘지 않음

It was really nice! Very good food and very good service. The quality of the products is excellent…recommended 100%

We are a Spanish couple who have been living in London for several years. It has always been a place where we have enjoyed going to eat a “bocadillo de jamon” with a beer. However, this last time we ordered delivery and the quality was pretty bad. The sandwich was wet because the juice from the olives had spilled. It was also broken, and as you can see, the bread with tomato is not very good. The is tomato only on one side and not that much. Same about olive oil… can’t barely see it. The olives were not very good either... for £7 I would expect at least the best quality olives, and even then it would seem expensive. I think in general, the price of everything is very high, even compared to restaurants in London. The quality of the ham is good, though.

Veryyy nice croquetas. I tried the jamón and cheese croquetas (4 with jamón, 4 with cheese) and the cheese was toooo strong for my liking, if you like strong cheese you would be a bigger fan than me of the cheese croquetas. The jamón ones were my favourites and they seemed freshly made which we love. In addition, Tania gave us some “pata negra” jamón and it was delicious. Moreover, I was a bit disappointed when we were asked if we wanted some food to try while we waited for the croquettes and then we were charged 22€ for a plate of cheese. The truffle cheese was really good tho but I just wasn’t expecting to be charged when they offered to give us it while we waited. I really liked the environment and the vibes, I’ll be coming back to try more things on the menu. The staff was very nice!

The food was obviously Spanish as it should be but on the main menu there was nothing I would eat ie pigs trotters, cheeks, oxtail.... But I did have a fantastic paella. Seafood was lovely. Be careful with the wine, make sure you know what it will cost as they suggested a white wine, which was nice but it cost us £51.00!! The whole meal was £115.00 so should have asked for the price of the wine. Hey ho, a nice lunch out.....

Went in for lunch and drinks. The food was sensational. So good we went back again in the evening on the same day. Great hard working staff too.

Authentic Spanish lunch, cosy atmosphere, great service ..

Great little tapas bar, quiet when we went in, food was good quality but a little overpriced even with today's expenses for the hospitality industry.

Maravillosa comida, atendimiento y ambiente. Vuelvo seguro!

Local ótimo, atendimento maravilhoso, recomendo e voltarei sempre ,uma noite maravilhosa para recordar

Service at the height of the tasty meal, 5 stars. A wonderful experience. Good food, good wine and good snacks. Wonderful!!!! Many thanks

Quite an unsuspecting location but food was delicious and service very friendly. Great for lunch or dinner will definitely you return :)

Very nice bocadillos, the jamón was very tasty and fresh. Nice service and like the atmosphere.

My husband found this restaurant by chance when meeting up with some friends in Clapham. Fantastic tapas and great service.

Absolute perfection! My partner and I happened to be in the area and popped in for lunch randomly and we’re so glad we did. The pork cheeks were incredible, as were the patatas bravas and chorizo. Honestly, the food was out of this world. Delicious wine, too. I can’t leave a review for Casa Manolo without mentioning the wonderful staff, who were so kind and knowledgeable. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. We’ll be back!

Great little Spanish tapas bar. Walked past many times but glad I popped in for a drink and a bite to eat. Definitely be back.

The team here is super friendly and very knowledgeable. Feel like at home, it tastes like home. Always a great choice. The selection of ham and wines are amazing.

I'd question if this is a real tapas restaurant. Whatever it was it wasn't cheap and the food quite unremarkable. The following weekend we went to a great Tapas bar in Soho, paid less and the food was outstanding. That said, the restaurant staff were pleasant enough. Just need to fix the food.

Food is delicious and wines are great... but the service is what makes this place for me so amazing... ask for Tania, nicest, warmest service ever, she will also give you great reccos of what to order ❤️

Nice food. Good wine. Disappointing service- after spending over £100 for 2, we've been chased down the street being asked to come back and prove we paid for our dinner. We came back, our waitress confirmed that we've paid and the manager didn't even apologise. Quite disappointing.

Excelente servicio, muy buena la comida, especialmente las Anchoas del Cantábrico y el Pulpo a la Gallega. Ambiente agradable

Very friendly and welcoming place, Spanish food and charcuterie I recommend the ibérico ham “bocadillo” excelente! And the torreznos… delicious

He venido de turismo a Londres y lo primero que he hecho ha sido comer la comida española en Casa Manolo, recomendable 100 x 100, ya tendré tiempo de probar la autóctona, de momento me quedo con los jamones y todos los productos de Casa Manolo.

Food quality it's average, the wine list is very limited and a super small glass is for £9 if you pick "the best one" well the stuff always pushes you to pick that one without really recommending a wine based on what you really fancy taste wise. 0 vibes and staff always talk in Spanish which it could be nice if they were more friendly and engaging with costumers.
