The staff are super friendly and helpful, they immediately made the atmosphere lovely. The food was tasty with a wide variety to appease all. They currently have a 50% off on Mondays which is a good way to taste test all their dishes!

Very awful service, double booked our table, the guy came back 3 times to take our order, waited there for 1h. Very dismissive and rude. We ended up leaving without eating! UPDATE: The restaurant left a comment asking me to email them to understand our experience more. After two weeks I never heard back from them. Suggests to me that they don’t care about customer service!!

The waitress from Hong Kong was super nice, but the bartender from Barcelona should stick to making drinks and keep his relationship advice to himself. Very unprofessional.

Went again on Friday and the food is consistently excellent - the seafood selection in particular is worth trying and I usually get the seafood paella or seabass. The restaurant has been in the area for decades and the decor, atmosphere and service are all good so I would definitely suggest visiting if you haven't been

La Rueda is an absolute gem in Clapham! The authentic Spanish flavours are unbeatable—from their freshly prepared paella to the delicious tapas dishes, everything was perfect. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Special shoutout to the new menu—it’s packed with exciting options that really showcase the best of Spanish cuisine. If you’re looking for a true taste of Spain in London, this is the place to go! Will definitely be coming back soon!

The venue is very tidy and I was able to have a meeting/family reunion whilst not hearing other people conversations. Amazing! The staff were polite and I was seen within a few minutes of seating as they respected the arrival of my party. 10/10 would come again and was surprised to find food discounted on my bill.

Very amazing experience at the restaurant, with Ashley being very gorgeous and friendly. Got to try the new menu, which was delicious. The ribeyes were cooked and seasoned very well, and the peppercorn sauce was delicious. The tapas, while sometimes a small portion (3 rings for the calamari) were very tasty too. Besides that the food was stunning and very flavourful, especially the seafood paella which was amazingly done and comparable to ones in Valencia. A small shame that the £3.20 cokes are syrup cokes from the tap, and a bit lacking. A lovely restaurant overall though and cannot wait to visit again.

The restaurant is ideal and the food is generally very good. I recommend: the pluma iberica (a real fantasy, I felt like I was eating it at home) and the paella (a surprise because I've never had any rich paella in London, and I've been living here for 4 years). My favourites: the patatas bravas and the croquettes, crispy on the outside and super creamy on the inside. Disliked: the omelette, overcooked and the onion was not done. The atmosphere was great and the music was Spanish. We went on a day when it was full, so we had to wait a long time, but they gave us a pitcher of sangria for free.

The service at the entrance is terrible. You want to have a tea and they leave you outside on the terrace because they say that "the restaurant is full" and the restaurant at the published time only has two tables, practically empty. 2. It took them 20 minutes to come to take the order. And another 9 minutes to bring a tea, and after 4 minutes they bring you the bill without giving you the option to order anything else, and without asking, with the restaurant empty. In short, "customer service depends on how they see you" is terrible. At least that was my experience.

The restaurant interior was amazingly decorated and great for photo taking. The service was alright being served and looked after promptly. Although the food was definitely lack of flavour! I found Spanish tortilla was bland and potato texture was bit hard as if just boiled. The aioli sauce helps a bit for the flavour. One thing I enjoyed most was the grilled squid where it came whole piece where the meat was tender and juicy. Paella was so disappointed! Saw some photos before where there were mussels on top and looked so presentable. Nothing for ours. The rice was bit bland once again and I can’t taste the seafood broth freshness blend into the paella itself. It was a bit soggy when I ate the dish, not much texture to chew. Just my experience at this restaurant with the new menu. Hopefully these things can be approved for future customers.

I use to go here all the time as a child and then as a young adult, this place always had good food but I did joke with my siblings that after almost 30 years the menu was exactly the same. I was lured back to go with my fiancé as there was a an offer going as there was a new menu, unfortunately it seems like some damage was done in doing this, the service was clumsy and the wating time was really bad, and sadly some classic dished were no longer, the pulpo a la Galicia was a tentacle instead of the original style, I remember this plate use to be amazing with fluffy potatoes and generous chunks or charred octopus but it is no longer like this, we also ordered calamares, there were 5 pieces on a plate. The croquets were nice.. The bread was half bugette not even sliced and a tomato salad that was nothing really just tomatoes cut up, a bit lazy. I think the new direction is more casual, this use to be a bit more of a special place, so it should at least have bigger portions and more care. Anyway in the end we waited 40 minutes to pay was not offered dessert or a drink and then got charged the wrong amount so we had to go back and fix it..a shame really.

The excellent quality of the food is surprising considering how cheap the prices are. We enjoyed a luxury meal with impeccable service. The paella was packed with seafood and had an intense flavor (£18/person). The Iberian secret was incredibly tender, and the sauce was delicious @nerea.iglesiasss

Went during their Soft Launch revamp where there was a new menu and head chef. Although the front may seem unappealing giving impressions of being a bar, inside is very warm and welcoming. Classic Hispanic decoration and colours with a lovely surprise to the fantastic music. We decided to get one of each tapas given the soft launch. Each were enjoyable potentially apart from the cauliflower in batter mainly due to a lack of seasoning. Spices did get quite repetitive as the dishes continued to come to the table. It would be nice for the Tapas to be adjusted in price/quantity for the number of people at the table; with many coming as a 3 individual units, it became a battle who got the best tapas! Would go again in the future but not jumping at the bit.

I have lived in Clapham for 17 years and passed this restaurant on many occasions but never really ventured in. Finally decided to give it a go and boy am I glad I did. I love Spanish food, particularly paella, and the seafood paella didn't disappoint. My friend had the chicken paella and raved about it too. I wasn't planning on having dessert but our tapas starters were SO good we went for dessert too. I went for the leche frita and it was to die for. I left La Rueda full and satisfied. I will not be leaving it another 17 years before I go back. Highly recommended.

Interior of the restaurant was lovely however service and food was disappointing. The music was too loud to have a conversation, the waiters ignored us multiple times and things we ordered never showed up. The pan con tomate was just a stale supermarket baguette, the squid was inedible and undercooked and the food was generally lacking in flavour.

I paid for service charge even though I went to the bar to collect it , when I went to ask for the service charge off the guy at the bar (which was really nice) said he had to call the manager, the manager came 3 minutes after, and was super rude, he said “ can you stop talking?” When I was explaining the Situation . He did give me a free drink, but he was super rude when he spoke to me. They also don’t ask for id, I know one girl which is 17 and she is here, not the security fault they’re super nice, but the manager Alex is super Rude, and just lets anyone in.

Went a few weeks ago and the food was great. Management took time to talk to me and my wife and gave us a tour of the building next door which they also own the food was excellent. Went there again a week later and we were LET DOWN BADLY. They have changed chef and the food was terrible. Seafood paella was nothing more than mushy rice with prawns and muscles with shells that could not be opened. I ate most of it because i was hungry. The chicken my wife had was served with chips . no veg or roast potatoes which had been removed from the menu. Never again....the food was terrible....real shame.

When it really was a Spanish restaurant, run by Spanish people, it wasn't the best Spanish restaurant in London, but it was decent. Since other people who have no idea about Spanish food took it... I regret going every time I have to fulfill a commitment and they choose this place. I will not return, even if it is at the invitation of friends. And seeing that there are people who still rate it with 5 stars and post photos of what they sell as paella, that you can't even see the rice... makes me doubt that they know what a paella is or maybe they are friends of the owner or comments paid. A shame to see the Spanish flag on this site. They dirty the image of Spanish food.

Pretty awful, £4.20 for bread (literally supermarket bread) served with butter (that isn't Spanish), Tío Pepe a sherry is served by measure as if it was gin.The octopus was cold on the outside and hadn't seen a grill in its life. Everything arrived suspiciously quickly and frankly it had all been heated quickly the the microwave. Pretty abysmal, don't go if you can actually cook or enjoy real Spanish food you will leave with a much lighter wallet and a sour taste in your mouth.

Visited this restaurant on the weekend. Me and my partner had some tapas and grill menu including sea food palela. Tapas were great, very good service, they made sure we are alright and very friendly atmosphere. My grilled chicken was a bit too salty but nothing I couldn't handle. Because of the problem in the kitchen and slightly longer waiting time for our food we have got extra potatoes with grilled veg on the house which was very nice touch. This place is very lovely, very good food and great service!

Mediocre service. Not attentive. Waited 20 minutes for a bottle of water. I asked for Rice and Salad with my meal, I was told I could only get rice so basically rice and meat. I ordered salad as a side dish, ages later, I was told that there was NO SALAD. There is a supermarket opposite. The chef should be ashamed but clearly takes no pride. I received ONE small tentacle of octopus as a main meal (compare it to the lemon wedge), it did mot taste bad but no sauce or proper garnish.... it was embarrassing. No one else at the table enjoyed their food. I do not write reviews but feel that I must warn against wasting money eating here.

I recently visited La Rueda on a Wednesday and was thoroughly impressed with the experience. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the perfect tone for a delightful evening. I started with their incredible aubergines and chickpeas, which were cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor and seasoned just right. The spinach stew was another highlight, a comforting and delicious dish . The drink offer was fantastic, with all drinks priced at just £6 each. I tried a couple of their cocktails, and they were both refreshing and expertly crafted. It’s rare to find such quality at this price point! The service was impeccable –Rob &Hera ,were friendly, attentive, and efficient. The staff made sure I had everything I needed and were more than happy to offer recommendations. Overall, La Rueda delivered an exceptional dining experience. With their delectable tapas, superb drink offers, and outstanding service, I can’t wait to return and try more of their menu. Highly recommended!

I didn’t ask for a beer, and he brought it, then I said I didn’t want it and he said is on the house… but he charged it in the end. We didn’t try anything Spanish, as we were a bit scared… (we were all Spanish) 😅

We had fried calamaris, aubergine croquettes (which was very different than expected), gambas, and steak. My favorites listed in order (didn’t try the steak): 1. Gambas 2. Aubergine croquettes 3. Calamaris I always thought croquettes were deep fried but this one was not! It wasn’t expected yet I preferred this one more than the regular deep fried croquettes!! Gambas were 10/10, perfect balance of flavors. Calamaris were a bit too hard for my liking but otherwise tasted great. They have a £15 jug of sangria, which I thought was a great deal. Service was excellent, a very energetic gentleman. I’d return.

Very disappointed arrived on time at 6 was seated after a while standing around, no one at the door to greet. Were given menues and then chased several times to order and told we would have to leave before 8 as we had a child with us. (At this point almost walked out and went to Nandos across the road). Ordered food which took way too long to arrive and when it did it was in dribs and drabs so couldn't eat together. 2 paellas arrived last looked amazing; but wasn't close to how it looked. Seafood paella was over salty couldn't taste what little seafood there was. Best dish on the table was the lamb chops which should have come with vegetables but didn't and when questioned we were told kitchen had swapped for chips as we had ordered chips as a side. We ordered a side because we wanted both. Nice atmosphere, good music, very clean bathrooms.

Sadly like other trip advisor reviewers, my friend and I won't be returning to La Rueda after being faithful customers for 20 and 30 years respectively . We were excited about the make over, and had decided to book have our favourite lamb chops. The prices for the chops were £19 online, £25 on the menu outside and £29 on the menu inside !!! Bearing in mind we were there for a special occasion and the restaurant was empty - we pointed this out and I was sure we wouldn't be charged £29, however we were .. we really should have left at this point. However we stayed as this was a special occasion, and we had been looking forward to this for a few weeks. The chops were ok, I had salad with mine, whilst my friend had veg, which were cold and over cooked. The ''chips'' were deep fried baby potatoes. It wasn't the best, and considering the price, on this basis we will defo not be returning. oh and on top of this a couple of blokes were doing some wood work right next to our table. V disappointing for what was once one of my fav places to eat on Clapham high street, great times but sadly no more.

Where do I start. We have been going to this venue for over 20 years, enjoying authentic Spanish tapas, but recently it has been taken over and I am afraid to say I will not be going back. It was given a make-over, but the feel and essence of a Spanish bar has gone which is a shame. We booked for 14th Feb, which I know is Valentines so we knew it would be busy, and they advertised a set menu for £55. But normally La Rueda always allowed normal menu food as well, so when booking a table online, I selected the A La Carte menu and my booking was accepted. But, on arrival we were told this isn't the case and the only food was the set menu. It was too late to go anywhere else, so we stayed. After selecting the starters, Mushroom and Mango croquettes and Tortilla with Chorizo, it eventually turned up and sadly my Tortilla was void of Chorizo so that went back and from then on in, it just got worse. I ordered the Salmon for my main, that came and went back - it was cold and very dry and covered in a brown jelly-like sauce. They served me Lamb Ribs with Apple Sauce (not very Spanish!) and again, it turned up and I sent it back - cold, fatty and dried out - what is going on!!!! We ordered dessert thinking you surely cannot get this wrong? Well, we were mistaken. We ordered the Santiago cake with ice cream... cake turned up but no ice-cream - why advertise it and not serve it. What really annoyed me, and my friends was the fact it was quite busy and everyone there had to have the set menu, but some people, probably the owner and friends where being served Octopus and food from the normal menu - leaving the paying guests with disgusting and below standard food at an unacceptable cost. I refused to pay the full bill, but I still had to pay £80 for the privilege of a disastrous evening and probably the worst meal I have experienced for a very long time. RIP La Rueda of the past, we will always have good memories of you!

They deleted my comments but I remember distinctively . The restaurant was run by Spanish family the food was so good-then Albanian took over. I remembered I asked for a Rioja the woman did not know what it was!!

The croquetas are NOT Spanish, this are potato croquette with things. Meatballs are not the classic Spanish ones, different product and cooking, and just tomato sauce from a tin, this is premade, not restaurant produce. Cheap chain food.

We just had dinner (6 of us) The waitress spelled wine on one of us and didn’t apologies. We ask not to paid the service charge and they said we should reclaim only for it. The next waitress was rude about it … Food is ok but stuff is not well trained and obnoxious… Would not recommend if you wnat to be well served.

I will not be going back to this place nor would I recommend it. I was part of a group of about 40-50 people for a retirement party. It was a set menu - 1 starter, 1 main and 1 dessert. 2 long tables were set up. Drinks were not part of the set menu, so we all started ordering drinks and with only 2 bar tenders. We sat down at the table. One of the team took the orders for one of the tables and didn't come to the second long table that I was sitting at. We noticed the other table were getting their starters, and we still hadn't even given our orders. By the time our orders were taken, the other table were getting their mains. After we had given our orders, someone from the team came to tell us that 3 people won't be able to have the sirloin steak as they have run out. It was 8pm by the time I got my starter. It got to 8.45pm and still no mains. 9pm and still no mains. When we questioned it, they looked at us in disbelief. They couldn't give an answer as to why we hadn't received our mains. 9.30pm and I get my mains but others were still waiting. I couldn't even eat the food by the time it came and asked for it to be given in a container to take home. The other people asked for the same thing and that was given to them in 5 minutes. 2 hours after getting starters it was clear they weren't going to get their mains at the table. I asked for my dessert to go as I was so fed up. Took my dessert home only to realise it wasn't even the dessert I ordered. No amount of drinks on the house could hide how truly bad and sub par the service was. They were clearing up the table and we hadn't even gotten our mains. One even took my drinks glass away that wasnt even finished. One of our guests had an allergic reaction to the food she had eaten and had to leave. Another managed to stop herself in time before she had an allergic reaction. No ingredients and allergen information were included on the menu and nothing was said by the team member taking the order. We noticed we weren't the only people in the restaurant to complain about not receiving mains but the restaurant were happy for food delivery to pick up food and we got nothing. Paid £36 for the set menu prices and won't be seeing a single penny of that back.

Excellent service for a large fund raising dinner ( for 70 plus people). The meal was delicious and pleased everyone. The ambiance is relaxed and friendly. Planning the event was helped by Miguel’s professionalism. I also saw many fabulous cocktails being prepared…but unfortunately as host I couldn’t enjoy!

A Nightmare Dining Experience My friends and I decided to try out this restaurant last Sunday, and it turned out to be a decision we regretted deeply. The entire experience was nothing short of a disaster. To begin with, the service was terrible. It took a frustrating long 30 minutes for someone to even bother taking our orders, and that was just the beginning of our woes. Our paella, which we ordered as a main dish, took over an hour to arrive at our table. The pinnacle of disappointment, however, was when the chicken wings we ordered arrived raw. I chose not to complain at that point, as I was already seething with anger and hunger after the extended wait, and left it as it is. The aftermath of this dining disaster was even worse. I ended up with food poisoning, spending the next day in the hospital. The hygiene standards in that kitchen are questionable at best, and I shudder to think about what might have been in the unhygienic food we consumed. Adding insult to injury, the staff's behaviour was beyond unacceptable. In response to our complaint about the interminable waiting time, a staff member insensitively remarked, "This is not KFC, as you guys like to order chicken," implying some racist stereotypes about our preferences based on our ethnicity. Another staff member had the audacity to mock my pronunciation while I was ordering, despite Spanish not being my first language. Going to a restaurant on a Sunday evening, hoping to unwind and enjoy a good meal, only to end up paying a hefty sum for subpar service, food poisoning, racial insensitivity, and linguistic mockery, is beyond disappointing. I rarely write reviews, but this experience was so horrendous that I felt compelled to share it. Save yourself the trouble and steer clear of this establishment unless you enjoy a side of discrimination and food poisoning with your meal.

I had an extremely disappointing experience at this restaurant. First and foremost, there was hair in my food, which is absolutely unacceptable. The prices were exorbitant for the quality of the dishes served. On top of that, the music was blaring so loudly that it was impossible to have a conversation. To add insult to injury, the service was painfully slow, and when we brought the issue of the hair in our food to the staff's attention, they ludicrously claimed it was our own, which is a blatant lie. This establishment not only provided subpar food and service but also demonstrated a complete lack of accountability. Save your money and avoid this place at all costs. Terrible experience. DO NOT GO.

The amount of effort put into the food is outstanding! Like genuinely. The food takes a bit long but to make good food it has got to take time also the cooks there are very decorative with food 🍱. Gave me a Spanish vibe, everything thing/one was Spanish like the music the food and people. It set the vibe.

the food was alright, not as nice as when we visited the restaurant - and fortunately I like Tarka Dahl as I received this with my Biriyani rice instead of a Biriyani curry. didn’t work as well though.
