Connolly's Tapas Bar in Stratford-on-Avon

Beautiful tapas dishes, lovely decor and amazing service. Highly recommend the sardines, calamari and sticky pork balls.

Staying in a hotel nearby for the night, but didn’t fancy eating there so googled a few eateries near by. Tiddington, a small village with a tapas deli. This place is little hidden gem I can’t rate this place high enough, everything about it was fantastic It’s small and very easy to miss, with no designated parking (park where you can) Doesn’t look like a great place to eat from the outside, BUT talk about deceptive The interior was basic but sort of lovely at the same time The staff were very friendly, polite and pleasant (Hannah, I think) The atmosphere was relaxed The food was gorgeous and very reasonable priced, as were the drinks 6 different dishes, 4 from the main Tapas menu and 2 from the specials board plus 3 alcoholic drinks for less than £75 The food looked superb and tasted even better, right down to the homemade coleslaw I would highly recommend this place to anyone It may be a Tapas bar but they cater for all, they do vegetarian and gluten free stuff One place I’ll definitely be visiting again

This is a beautiful relaxed and incredibly friendly place to eat and drink with really nice people. The family that run this are wonderful. The food is always excellent and it is a really nice place to go and relax.

Friendly staff, excellent service, food was owing, hot and delicious, each dish being freshly cooked. We chose to sit outside as it was a lovely evening but plenty of seating inside. The flow of the food was perfect, bringing a couple of dishes at a time to enjoy without overwhelming you. Allows each dish to be enjoyed. Flavours of each dish was unique. A massive plus was spotlessly clean toilets. We are firm believers of judging an establishment by the cleanliness of the toilets and this place had spotless toilets. Please visit this place, you won't be disappointed.

The food was quite nice, but you would expect that given the prices. The service really let it down. We ordered 7 dishes, we waited a really long time between dishes and only had one dish on the table at any time - no one really wants to just be eating meatballs on their own!

Having had two positive experiences here, it was a tad disappointing to find the meal was variable in quality and value for money on this last occasion .I ordered the 'special' bao buns ,expecting a lovely homemade generous portion only to be presented with two commercially available ? Itsu buns with a small garnish costing a small fortune, so a very hefty profit involved .The garlic mushrooms were incredibly salty and oily -unpleasant . When you ask a table how they are finding the meal ,you should be trained sufficiently to be able to respond appropriately to criticism -this was not the case here .We were given the equivalent of a shrug of the shoulder and no attempt was made to apologise or take my criticism seriously.The attitude was highly dismissive . However ,other dishes were good, especially the chicken wings and crispy squid . On balance ,I will not be returning orrecommend others to visit -a real shame .

A shame that it was just poor value. Overall it was nice and the staff friendly, but the food wasn't good enough for the price charged, won't be going back.

My husband and I booked a table at Connolly's this evening as we have recently moved to Stratford. This is now one of our favourite places to eat, the food was excellent and the staff were lovely. We will definitely be bringing our visitors here!

AVOID AVOID AVOID !! Absolute appalling customer service . I’d heard very mixed reviews about this place, mostly due to the management but as it’s my local I thought I’d give them the benefit of the doubt. What a mistake that was. I visited Connollys on Friday and Saturday, On the first occasion I was sat down outside having a quiet drink before meeting with friends. A lady I now know to be Jo, the owner spoke down to me in a very derogatory manner. I thought nothing of it and popped in again the next day, I was again spoken down too by the husband of Jo , Tony. For someone that had many years of experience within hospitality I would and will advise people to steer clear of this place . Having spoken to a few locals recently this appears to be a regular occurrence. The only good thing I can say is their daughter Hannah has a lovely manner and goes out of her way to treat their customers with the upmost of respect.

was staying in a hotel nearby . walked past and saw the place was busy . spoke to the owner who managed to squeeze us in on a very busy night . had a couple of drinks while they sorted us a table out . all the staff were very polite and helpful with the menu . the food and service was top notch . had a good vibe and buzz about the place . we had a lovely evening and will go back when were in the area gain . thank you .

I have to say even though I’m blessed that i only I live literally doors away from this amazing Tapas bar I feel guilty that I do not frequent it enough. I did however this evening and had the most delicious food and such Impeccable service. I felt like I was in the Mediterranean this evening & I cannot recommend this place enough for its ambience and beautiful food! A*

Food was ok but very expensive for what you got. The main problem was the attitude of the manager who was in charge on the Saturday evening. At first, she was friendly and welcoming but her attitude quickly switched to condescending when asked about why it took so long for our pizzas to arrive. We had sat at our table for nearly 50 minutes with just some bread and olive oil between 6 of us with the odd single tapas arriving at 15 minute intervals. Apparently it was our fault as we didn't tell the kitchen that we were were not sharing, which we actually were. However it is difficult to share one or two small tapas between six people. It got worse when asked how we could avoid food delays in the future. She became quite rude to my father-in-law implying that "the kitchen cannot deal with a lot of food orders at the same time, so no, it wouldn't get better" By now we had been there for getting on for two hours with the main food arriving last, by which time we had given up and just had to settle the £200 bill. Disappointing as Connolly's has been good before but this is the last time we will go there. The support staff that evening also needed some lessons in customer service. Tapas dumped on the table with a scowl and a solitary "Enjoy". Seemed to be in a race to see how quickly they could place something on the table and exit without having to make any contact whatsoever with the customer.

We come here quite a lot with many different Friends who have never been disappointed, it is a very Friendly place with excellent food and lovely service. The cost is reasonable and there is a nice selection of beverages. Thoroughly recommend it.

Had a great experience - from delicious tapas - especially the succulent ribs and the haddock fried fillets, the really reasonable priced wine and the attentive waitress. Lovely atmosphere topped off with the cook taking time after a busy evening asking if we had enjoyed ourselves. Had a lovely night and will definitely visit again.

We were staying down the road and looking for somewhere to have a nice evening meal. We dropped in on the Friday evening to see about booking a table and we’re given such a warm welcome we were already excited to eat here. We weren’t disappointed. We ate on the Saturday night, had a lovely greeting, beautiful surroundings, fabulous wine and absolutely delicious fresh food. A first class evening out. Thank you 😁

Our favourite local restaurant, we love the Tapas, Pizza and Guinness. It’s a family run restaurant and the whole team work hard to make you feel welcome. We love the laid back Tapas feel and taking our time grazing through the menu, whilst drinking and socialising. If you’re in the area or local, visit, you won’t be disappointed. Rumour has it that there could be a Golf Society based out of here soon! Yacuncha GS will be the name.

We had a lovely meal - the food was amazing and the service was outstanding. Would totally recommend - just wish we lived nearer so that we could go more often

We are regulars living locally who always look forward to a relaxing night with friends. The Family team always go out of their way to make you welcome, ably supported by a young friendly team. The Guinness is the best around, the bar is well stocked and the wine list extensive. The best thing is the Tapas, a fusion of Irish/Spanish/English and Italian(I know, you’ve got to try it!)!! Jo the chef is always trying new dishes, our favorite the chorizo and the Patatas Bravas. They also do wonderful pizzas!! Tony runs a great bar and Hannah the Daughter provides service with a smile. If you’re passing pop in, it can get busy, so be patient, the food is worth the wait, Tapas after all is about grazing!!

You were highly recommended to us by some friends so we were excited to eat at your restaurant. Although the food was nice, we were upset by the service. We had a booking for 7pm and got out food promptly which was fantastic. We then finished our food at 7:40pm as we hadn't eaten all day to prepare for this. We then had to walk up to a server because we still hadn't been seen by 8:10pm, which upset my partner and I. We then ordered a Magners and was ready to order some more food. By 8:20pm the Magners still hadn't arrived so I cancelled the order of Magners and we had no more food. I then went over and got a server and told him we had been waiting for a very long time between courses so to cancel everything. The (I assume) manager then came over and insinuated I was wrong with my timings and said we had been waiting for 40 mins between the current time and the time we entered which was both wrong and rude. I wanted to express how disappointed we both are and that we won't be returning, which is a shame. I have complained so will see what the outcome of that is.

What. a find ! We were staying at the Limes hotel and we were recommended this amazing restaurant, it was a 2 walk ! Food was amazing, definitely recommend the ribs and the pizzas ! Staff were very friendly and efficient, there was a great...

Absolutely loved this place while passing through Stratford-upon-Avon. The welcome and service was outstanding. The food was delicious, it was served hot and on time. The place is full of character, a big thank-you to the hosts and all the staff for a brilliant evening....

We were staying nearby so decided to try here for convenience- what a good job we did! It's a welcoming little place with a really authentic European feel. I'm not normally a fan of taps, often finding it overpriced and stingy on portion size but...

It’s great to have a tapas bar in Tiddington, but a shame that the food is such a let down. With more care this could and should be a gem of a place. Alas it is a lazy version of Spanish food, patatas bravas is...

Called for tapas on a Thursday evening, booked in advance because we we told it was a busy place. Staff really helpful explaining how many tapas dishes they recommend and loads to choose from menu and daily specials. choose 6 which came a little while...

Went because of the menu on offer and wasn't disappointed at all, plenty of choice so much to choose from. Tried 6 of the tapas choices from the menu and specials board and all were delicious. We had a coffee and eaton mess for desert...

Had a fantastic Pizza from Connolly’s earlier this evening. The European. Absolutely delicious and very authentic. As good as the best Pizzerias in Italy! Really impressed with the organisation. Timed delivery pick up and piping hot fresh out of the oven. Can thoroughly recommend.

Visited Connolly’s again tonight. Since lockdown they have revamped the place and introduced a new menu that includes the best pizzas I have ever eaten! I had rare beef and blue cheese and it was amazing. Also had prawns in garlic and chilli, chicken enchiladas...

Terrible food was disgusting. Unhygienic. Food was bland and mouldy. Wouldn’t recommend it for anyone

Valentine's Night. What a perfect place to celebrate with loved ones or just hang with friends. We enjoyed the variety of tapas and Beverley our server was fast, friendly and responsive. She encouraged us to go steady so we didn't order too much at once....

We have visited Tiddington many times and for different reasons never quite got to go to this restaurant. On walking passed the night before and seeing how inviting it was we booked a table for last night. Some of the reviews on TripAdvisor had put...

My wife and I love a bit of tapas and we were quite excited to read that this restaurant was close to our hotel. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite live up to our expectations: Good points - The serving staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. A...

Visit usually once every 1 to 2 months for lunch with work friends, as we only work over the road. The servers are always really pleasant and treat the customers well. The food is absolutely beautiful, I really can't fault it, and so much choice....

It's a couple of weeks since we last visited, but this place is fabulous. We haven't yet eaten inside as there's a nice covered area at the front and the weather's been so good, but inside looks atmospheric and would suit large groups as well...

We visited here around 8.30 and were warmly welcomed even though the kitchen was closing shortly. Had a selection of tapas dishes and we were both very satisfied, food was excellent. Would highly recommend this place for the food, service and atmosphere.

Popped in on Saturday afternoon and met Jo the owner, had a chat and booked a table for that evening. When we arrived Jo greeted us and showed us to our table. The waitress arrived and introduced herself. Food was outstanding, the service was faultless, very nice atmosphere. This was our first visit and we will definitely be back.

Habíamos visto este lugar unas cuantas veces cuando pasábamos por Stratford, y decidimos pasar por nuestro camino a casa hoy. No fuimos decepcionantes. Una cálida bienvenida, fabulosamente tapas frescas y vinos / cervezas encantadoras.Realmente disfruté el ambiente (¡y la música!) Y definitivamente volveremos de una noche con amigos para comer tapas y beber vino.Gracias Connolly?

I eat here at every possible opportunity, the food is just great. The place is a rustic delight, we usually select 5/6 dishes to share and we just love everything we choose.

Nice range of food...but all the food and I mean all the food was salty, too salty. Sickeningly salty. Restaurant! Take note

Stopped here for lunch and was initially worried that I may struggle to find something vegan on the menu, but the lady who served us was so helpful in marking all of the vegan options available with an asterisk. There are salad dishes, patatas bravas, hummus, and an incredible three-bean chilli with nachos just to name a few.

El servicio es delicioso, pero su café Americano se sirve en una taza pequeña y, para cuando llegó el desayuno, tuvimos que pedir una recarga: hubiera sido un buen toque si hubieran rellenado la pequeña taza de café. Comida sabrosa (desayuno con chorizo y papas), pero no demasiado generosa y bastante cara.

Acabamos de tomar un sándwich de desayuno y una taza de té. . . . . wow, ¿qué puedo decir, pero simplemente fabuloso y de gran valor. . . . . En primer lugar saludado por una joven muy sonriente y feliz. . . . Pedí una taza de té y vino con una taza de porcelana y un platillo. . . . Única forma de tomar té en mi libro. . . . Luego vino el sándwich de desayuno. . . . wow relleno con tocino delicioso, salchichas y huevo. . . . La manera perfecta de comenzar el día. . .

Éramos una mesa de nueve, una mezcla de jóvenes y viejos. Recibimos un buen consejo de nuestro servidor sobre el tamaño de las porciones, la cantidad de platos a ordenar, etc. y todos disfrutaron enormemente la experiencia. No todos los platos vienen a la vez, lo que da tiempo para saborear. No exagere, ya que el chef felizmente haría otro plato si lo hubiésemos subestimado. No lo habíamos hecho, pero fue un buen consejo de nuestro servidor. Gran servicio, buena comida y como recomendación el merlot fue excepcional.

Mi compañero y yo hemos visitado muchos restaurantes de tapas tanto en este país como en el extranjero y, por lo tanto, apreciamos una auténtica experiencia española. El sitio web para este restaurante idílicamente localizado se limita a eso.

En primer lugar, no es el más barato, pero la comida era absolutamente preciosa. No entiendo por qué la gente lo marca porque es caro, no te arrastran ni ocultan los precios. Tuvimos un par de botellas de vino, 1 limonada, 10 tapas, papas fritas y una migaja de manzana, no costaba porciones enormes y la factura era de más de 100, pero realmente diría que todo estaba perfectamente preparado y todo el personal era encantador. Sin duda volvería de nuevo y lo recomendaría.

From the moment we walked in the staff were very welcoming. Relaxed atmosphere . Waitress very attentive and helpful when we asked about certain dishes. Food was delicious . We have eaten here 2 years ago and it was great then. Great place to enjoy good food & reasonably priced

One of our party’s son has done lots of informal visits to tapas restaurants, and he rated this one.

Booked in as a family of 7 including a baby. The establishment is quaint & traditional. Lovely ambiance. We were greeted very friendly from the lovely staff. Hadn’t been before so the waitress explained how to order & how much to order per person. The food was freshly cooked, presented nice & tasted even better. Drinks were very reasonably priced. We will definitely be back. Well done Connolly’s.

Visited for our 3rd time in just over 2and half years. Yet again was not disappointed. Had 4 for £12 deal plus extra tapas plus fries and a diet coke for wife.......bargain at £20:75. Can't wait for our next visit asap.

We love tapas so decided to try Connolly’s. Lovely little place, but disorganised. The dishes came out in dribs and drabs and we had to ask for our last dish (we weren’t the only ones who had dishes missing). The food portions were small and over priced for what they were. The food was very nice, I just would have appreciated it delivered at the same time. We did have to ask several times for the bill as well. Also would have been nice to see paella on the menu too, meat, fish and vegetarian choices of paella.

My wife and I returned here remember ing it from a number of years ago.

Went to Connolly s at lunchtime.was pleasantly surprised.i have lived in Stratford upon Avon 22 years.and have found a little gem that I didn’t know existed.food was absolutely amazing.cooked fresh. Staff very attentive.will definitely be returning.

Went in for some lunch on the way to stratford, as was quieter and they had tables outside. So glad we did. A) we didn’t have to fight our way through the stratford masses to find somewhere to eat, but mainly B) the food was gorgeous. Great tapas, great pricing and great choice. Staff were lovely, and really did feel like a little bit of Spain tucked away.

We were staying at The Stratford Limes who recommended Connolly's. We were not disappointed. The food was excellent and all freshly cooked. The staff were attentive without being pushy and it was only 2 minutes walk from where we were staying what could be better!

We visited Connollys on a recent trip to Avon Park. The breakfast was fantastic and the tapas out of this world. Very friendly staff who took the time to explain the vast variety of dishes on the menu. 10 out of 10 for service and quality of food. Well done Connollys we highly recommend you to anyone visiting the area and will revisit on our next trip.

What a great place and so well run, staff were so attentive the food was very pleasant along with whole atmosphere of the restaurant a great find. We would certainly visit again.

Have been here a couple of times. The food is always tasty and reasonably priced. Well stocked bar and a good selection of wines that won't break the bank, (19 quid gets you a good bottle of Red). There was a wide but not daunting selection of tapas, including firm favorites (patatas bravas and tortilla) and some less common but tasty options (some cracking breaded halloumi sticks and sticky pork balls). Pick of the bunch was the chorizo in wine which was unbelievably moreish. Worth a visit if in the neighbourhood or staying in the Stratford Limes hotel.

We visited here twice in May, its always a friendly welcome, food is fab, a complete range of drinks are on offer. This is a place to go and chill, enjoy the atmosphere and the friendly banter. I would really recommend a visit ...

Stayed nearby and decided to eat lunch before walking into Stratford. Lovely tapas, well prepared and presented.

Great food and service - we thoroughly enjoyed our first visit. Looking forward to making this a regular visit from now on.

So I have read below a lot of reviews regarding the owner, this is obviously a problem which they don’t think they should address. Me and my partner have always wanted to check this place out, so after work we decided to go in, first we were looking around and a man was sitting at the bar having a beer we assumed he was a customer, so we waited, when he decided to make eye contact we realised he was the owner, and said well you have to sit here because in about an hour we’re fully booked. We didn’t mind and just sat where he said was available, the waitress was very welcoming and the food was hit and miss (depends what you order) also my glass had a lipstick stain on. The food is incredibly over priced for tapas!!! We didn’t mind because we like trying out new places, what let our meal down was the atmosphere, there was a lady who obviously knew the owner shouting ‘I’m going now’ n the owner replying loudly ‘you sure you got enough money’ etc etc .. seriously? I felt as though I was at someone’s house not in a restaurant having a lovely meal out with my partner. Maybe they didn’t care because it was just us two in the restaurant, who knows but definitely put us off.

Having eaten here quite a few times, we returned recently and were shocked at the portion sizes for the prices. 7 dishes, a glass of wine and a sparkling water for £65 is outrageous. The calamari was soggy, the prawn dish tiny, we were very dismayed and left still feeling hungry.

2minutes walk from our hotel, Stratford Limes. Excellent selection of tapas. Reasonably priced, large portions. Undergoing refurbishment, don't be put off

My wife and I called in as we were passing. Very pleased we did. The woman who greeted us was pleasant and efficient, without being over fussy. We chose 4 dishes each from the tapas menu. Each was fresh, tasty and nicely presented. The food was excellent value for money too. We will call in again when out that way.

Popped in for drinks one evening,we were the only ones in,but good Spanish music being played.

Five of us arrived here - no booking - and were well looked after. We enjoyed tasty tapas and beer, with the rugby on in the background! Happy days! A bonus find, around the corner from the inn we were staying at. Reasonable price too.

We visited on Friday night, a party of 6. We received a warm welcome and the service was excellent. Staff were friendly and helpful. The waitress had a really good sense of humour and made the whole visit really enjoyable. Really good varied menu and I loved the idea of choosing what you wanted to eat from the list provided. There was also a specials board. Background music was evident but not too loud so that we could have a good catch up. The food was excellent and the whole experience was great. Would certainly return.

On a recommendation, my Wife & I visited Connolly's Tapas Bar, at lunchtime, midweek and we were very impressed with the service, food and the ambiance of the place.

Had an enjoyable early evening meal here which was close to our hotel in Tiddington. The meal was very good, staff friendly, only complaint was our table which could have done with a "lick of paint" to make it more presentable.

Popped here for dinner as a friend recommended it... what a hidden gem this place is. Perfect food and attentive service, thank you so much for everything and the tailor made dessert! We will bring our friends next time! Thanks again:)

Family outing (6 of us) for an evening meal. Have passed the restaurant numerous times and whilst it looks 'inviting' enough, it doesn't particularly stand out so it is easy to miss. When one does spot it, its rustic and 'faded' look gives it a very 'well established' look that encourages you to look out for it whenever you pass. Inside it is like an Aladdin's Cave as it opens up significantly inside. Travelling back and forth to Menorca regularly, we feel reasonably well versed in terms of what to expect at a tapas restaurant but this exceeded ALL expectations. The choices were varied and mainstream rather than fancy and unusual - I would call it a modern tapas as opposed to some of the more traditional Spanish ones where many dishes for Brits look less appealing or even unpronounceable! Having said that, the food, for me, was one of the nicest Tapas venues I have been to and I have done quite a few! ALL of the dishes were superb and the Chorizo dish in particular was outstanding! One of those dishes one would love to obtain the recipe for but any such request would be fiercely protected I am sure!On a constructive note, I would personally like to see each of the dishes being slightly larger, OR the price per dish slightly lower. The food IS fabulous but a bill for £260 for 6 people is quite hefty (including drinks) when a similar meal (and content) in Spain is notably less (circa £220) BUT that doesn't detract from the fact that it was a very enjoyable evening and a visit that we WILL be repeating as there is nowhere else in the vicinity that is comparable.

We visited here in a Thursday night and were pleased with it as soon as we walked in. It's has a deli feel to the restaurant and a relaxed informal atmosphere. The food and wine selection are good although limited ( it's quite a small place so expect this to be a constraint or size rather than choice). However what came out of the kitchen was fab. Generous potions for Tapas and would recommend the meat platter to share. The red wine we had was particularly good and our waitress attentive. We will be back

The waiting staff are great, the food is good. The proprietor is abrupt and cold. Not as welcoming or as good as Stratford upon Avon Marina Tapas!

Ignore the slightly unprepossessing exterior and enjoy the pared down ambience inside. The staff were really helpful although maybe we would have been satisfied with four dishes between us rather than the suggested five /six. Anyway, they were all thoroughly enjoyable at a reasonable price and appeared nice and quickly..The cod goujons were particularly good. We will be back.

I've been here a few times for various meals and I'm never disappointed. The food is absolutely divine. The service staff have always been very helpful and friendly, whether I'm there with a friend or with my children. They have a nice lunch special (4 tapas for £10) that I love. Evening meals can be pricey but I find it's worth it. All and all I would recommend!

Very good food, better than we expected. Every dish we ordered was very tasty, good sized portions. This is a great place to come as a group.

What a fantastic find. Had evening Tapas for four, our order arrived quickly and was beautifully cooked, well seasoned and hot. Just perfect, in fact so good we when back for breakfast the next day. Again very quick and friendly service with our breakfast perfectly cooked and delicious. A must to go to, would well recommend.

Spent the evening with some friends at Connolly's Tapas last night and had a fab evening with some great Tapas. This is not the first time we have been and we always have good food hear and are treated with courtesy by every member of staff. This is a fun place with great atmosphere and a great selection of Tapas, especially choosing from the specials board. Love it!

The rudest owner. I cannot believe how horrible she was! We as a family was not happy with the food provided too salty and too much sugar. I made one statement about the seafood being bad and she went on the defensive and said "are you even old enough to drink that wine?! Have some water love" it was my 2nd glass! (I'm 22years old) I have a right to have an opinion! Livid! Bite your pride when customers tell you their opinion. I would never treat a customer which such disrespect! Would never come again.

Lots of great tapas and wonderful service (was very full afterwards!) Great atmosphere. Would really recommend this.

Good tapas,could do with a few more meat choices.Excellent service sat outside on road side table very warm evening .Thoroughly enjoyed,relaxing no pressure evening,

Love this place. Today we came for breakfast which was amazing an now we are here again. The best tapas by far and lovely friendly staff. Will definitely return.

Went to Connollys having heard good things but not actually knowing what to expect. What a treat! The food was beautiful and the deserts we scrummy! I was driving but I could have quite easily sat at that table for many hours sipping wine and nibbling on tapas. The arhmosphere is really relaxed. Will definitely return!

Situated in Tiddington village a mile from Stratford centre this restaurant is worth a visit. There's a small outdoor area if you've got your dog with you. There's an early bird menu where you can choose 4 dishes at a reduced price...£10 in 2017

My wife and I decided to visit here for our anniversary as a change from the usual restaurants in and around Stratford.Circumstances meant that we arrived early - just after 6pm on Saturday, so it was very quiet. There was only one other couple there with two small children. It was a sunny day which fitted a visit to a Spanish tapas bar.The decor is shabby chic with a Spanish flavour. Perfect if you like a casual environment like us!There's a small bar with a few bar stools plus quite a few tables stretching back into the restaurant.The menu is great. Lots of tapas dishes ranging from the hearty, patatas bravas (potatoes with a tomato sauce and cheese topping) to the mouthwatering, crayfish tails with a chilli sauce and plenty of the usual such as mushrooms with pancetta and garlic oil. The servings are generous and 5 or 6 maximum for two is enough.With two small Spanish beers and two glasses of Rioja and 6 dishes and a dessert the bill was £65 which we felt was great value. We couldn't finish all of the tapas even though we wanted to.If you fancy something different and like a casual setting you'll really enjoy Connolly's.

Visited Connolly's Tapas Bar for their Paella meal on a wednesday evening, was a good meal, tasty and arrived hot. Staff very friendly and helpful, service quick. You need to book as gets busy.

We were a Friday evening walk-in, and lucky to get a table - a stool high one by the bar where the staff and management were enjoying some lively fun and banter ahead of the full house to follow. Having recently had tapas in deepest Spain where the language and subsequent strange dishes were a bit challenging, here everything was understandable, quickly cooked and absolutely delicious, especially when accompanied by a bottle of Cava - rare treat as this was 100 yeard from our hotel and avoided any driving responsibility! Highlight was the haloumi chips and the spicy chicken wings, but all five dishes were excellent and as for the ginger cake with toffee sauce and ice cream...to die for!

Joined a group of friends here and I have to say the tapas was the best I have tasted in a long time. Everybody was friendly and always willing to help. Can't wait to go back.

Friendly service very welcoming. Relaxed environment and great food. Went after work on recommendation to celebrate a brilliant team result. Perfect evening for mid week night out. Fried haddock on the specials literally melted in the mouth. Definitely recommend

Jo and her team have tolerated me hanging out here for years. Tasty food, which is always changing, and beautifully served. Very friendly staff and a relaxed vibe. The fact that I have been so many times says it all!

Four adults and baby had lunch during the week, both eating from the sandwich and tapas menus. The sandwiches were overpriced and not brilliant, just used basic bread. The tapas was ok, but did not feel authentic.

Not exactly authentic tapas but extremely tasty and generous portions. Decor was interesting. Would go again though if we stayed at the Stratford Limes Hotel just down the road.

Really enjoyed my visit here last night with friends. Helpful and friendly staff. A really good choice of homemade tapas dishes in a small friendly restaurant. Meatballs and patatas bravas were lovely. Good selection of drinks too. Will definitely go again if I'm in the area.

We stopped here today for a nice quick bite to eat before embarking on a bit of shopping at the Maybird. Very helpful staff and lovely lunch of chilli nachos and tuna melt sandwich with all the trimmings. Lovely atmosphere with eclectic decor. Made me feel like we were in Spain somewhere. Defo come back for a visit!
