Came here for an evening out just the 2 of us. Booked last minute but got a table for 2 ok. The restaurant was busy with a large party but our order of tapas came out in good time. Every dish was delicious and tasty. Have been a few times before but not recently. The food didn’t disappoint we will be back.

We have never had to make a complaint at Marco's in the 12 Years we have been dining here and today was no exception. As usual a very warm welcome from Bradley and Marie who always make you feel like you are part of the Marco Family. We ordered from the extensive menu, Cheesy garlic bread to start, then Spicy chicken, coconut prawns, beef with mushrooms, patatas bravas and saffron rice. All were cooked to perfection and all the dishes went back empty and finished off with excellent Lemon Meringue Pie.

We had the function room area to ourselves for a joint 60th & 21st birthday celebration, prior to the evening we discussed the various dietary requirements and we could not have been better accommodated, on the night there was no rush and the dishes came out when we were ready, the food was delicious and the staff were attentive, could not be happier with our experience and look forward to returning soon !

If I were to say the food is amazing, it would be a massive understatement. It is great for a night out with friends and family, great vibes, music and hospitality. The staff are all very polite, with special mentions to Pam, who was very friendly and helpful throughout. I would recommend 2-3 tapas dishes per person as it is quite filling at great prices. Simply incredible. 🙌

We have both tried the three course lunch menu and, at £12 a head, it is extremely good value!The food,being tapas,is served in small dishes, but in all fairness, it is more than filling!The selections are good and very tasty however the service varies quite a bit. On our first visit,we were served by a very friendly curly haired blonde lady who was excellent and the service was excellent but on the second occasion,the service was incredibly slow and we waited almost an hour between courses, the only saving grace was the fact that we were all chatting a lot, so it didn’t matter too much.Nevertheless, the food and value will still ensure that we visit again and overall the experience is good.

Have visited Marcos for years and always loved it. It’s my husband 50th and he wanted Marcos for his special takeaway dinner (as we still can’t go out due to lockdown). Well it was as I expected. Absolutely delicious. The only thing missing was being in Marcos with the lovely staff and great atmosphere. Can’t wait when it is open and we can visit again.

Had an excellent takeaway last night. We wanted to support local restaurants during this lockdown and we love the food here so thought we’d try takeaway. Food was lovely and hot when it arrived. Delivery for the time we agreed and no contact. We had some garlic mushrooms and Saffron potatoes left over so had them for lunch the next day. A good quality takeaway if you want to support restaurants during lockdown and looking for something different to the usual Indian, Chinese or pizza. Will Order again.

Everything about this visit ticked all the boxes. The 3 of us (including one child - free meal with a full paying adult) really enjoyed our lunch. Great ambience, service and tapas. Covid regulations adhered to but we still felt welcomed and cosily settled for a perfectly long lunch on this rainy October day. Well done Marcos for pulling it ALL together in these challenging times! We’ve rebooked for my birthday celebration too

Midweek dinner for two. We arrived and were given a choice of table that were really well socially distanced. All staff were wearing face shields and we felt very safe.

Will try not to leave it so long until our next visit.

I read the recent reviews before visiting Marco’s for the first time in years. Drawn to the “Pricey” headline I read further of there being a “Rip off”. Far too harsh and unnecessary was that in my view. As the General Manager replied; prices are on the menu. It’s what you get for that price that might be the issue, but for me and my two guests it was no issue as far as the food was concerned. Quality cuisine, reasonable portions; three tapas dishes for each made a filling main course. With the now common application of a service charge though – and it’s not just Marco’s exercising this – there is a cost not immediately apparent from the menu. General Manager, take note. What you have be mindful of is that with this service charge you’ll be paying over £6 for a pint. Now that is “pricey” whether or not it’s on the menu. So if you stay for 2-3 hours to take in the pleasant surroundings and take on 5 or 6 drinks then this will reflect in the cost of the experience here. So, my advice is enjoy the quality cuisine, but don’t drink too much, or feel the “ouch” when the bill arrives. The one aspect that had the potential to spoil what was a good evening for me and my guests though was how the bill is presented. It is not good form to present to 3 diners at the end of an evening a small piece of paper that says £69 food, £90 drink, £16 service charge, total £175 thank you very much. And when you’re asked to provide the breakdown for such a large drink charge then this shouldn’t have been the problem it was. General Manager, again take note. As I say, if you choose to stay to take in the atmosphere, and drink, then be prepared. The quality of the food will have me wanting to return, and I might even take advantage of one of the discount cards on offer, I just won’t drink so much again!

Visited Marcos on the strength of the government discount scheme. Was it expensive? No more soThan other good quality restaurants. As a party of four we had about 16 dishes plus 8 alcohols. All food was excellent and service also very good even though was quite busy. Service charge was included in final bill, did not begrudge as usually tip. Would go again.

First time back at Marco's since lockdown and we was not dissappointed in any way.We was met at the door and asked to sanitize our hands before entering the restaurant and signed in the tracking book, plenty of visible floor markings and then shown to our table. We had a chat with Marie and Pauline and then ordered our tapas.As usual cooked to perfection by Marcus. All the bowls went back empty as the food is too good to leave.There is still a full menu to chose from unlike a lot of restaurants which are only providing limited menus.Marco's is the friendliest family restaurant that we know and we will not hesitate to kepp coming back.A very enjoyable lunch in a very safe and controlled enviroment.

Haven’t been out for 5 months ! It was our anniversary today and we wanted to go out but my husband was concerned. We love going to Marcos, their food is 10/10. All I can say is their standard has not slipped, food is amazing as usual. Their attention to the COVID restrictions is perfect. My husband was very worried to go out but felt happy and at ease within this restaurant - staff are all very well equipped.

Visited Marco's for lunch today after lock down with a few friends, please to see all staff wearing face shields, tables arranged more than 2mtrs apart. Sat in the garden which was lovely, plenty of space and shade. As always the lunch time menu was excellent especially the coconut chicken, really worth the set price. All I can say is I am so glad one of my favourite restaurants is open again, and we were made to feel really safe and relaxed. Well done everyone.

It was mine and my husbands first 'date night' since lock down and to celebrate 'no kids' for the evening we decided to have a drink in marco's. We'd been here before for tapas which is lovely but tonight was just a drinks visit. The staff were friendly and made the rules regarding covid restrictions very clear, felt totally safe and at ease with it all and would highly recommend marco's for a drinks night or for a meal. Thanks for making our first night out a good one. :)

During lockdown we have had a lovely meal delivered which was hot and tasted just as it would have done if was eating in the restaurant. My mum has tried one of the lunchtime picnic boxes which she thought was great and I have now been to Marco’s re-opening for lunch (my mum went on their opening day). We felt safe, all hygiene was in place, staff were all wearing masks, there was extra strong hand sanitiser at the door on entering and before the toilets. There was social distancing stickers on the floor but to be honest it was nicer having more room as the tables were spread out. It wasn’t too busy at lunchtime and I wonder what it is like in the evenings and at weekends. There are tables outside but again its better to book as these are first come first served. Food as per usual was of a good standard, we had the lunch menu for £12 each which was just enough for a lunchtime. I would def. recommend going, it felt safe and although the menus were disposable, the staff in masks and when they collected the plates from the table gloves were worn, it didn’t make the experience any the less enjoyable. It was great to be able to go out out again and actually feel safe and enjoy it.

We went to the reopening of Marcos at lunchtime Tuesday 7th July. and had the most fantastic time.. The food was superb, the staff as friendly as ever and it was wonderful to be sitting in the sunny garden on such a nice afternoon. It was reassuring that it felt such a safe environment with hand sanitiser at the front door and the staff all using full PPE. I cannot recommenced Marcos highly enough and will be visiting again in the next few days.

We turned up on the off chance for a lunchtime drink with a few hesitations on how everything was going to be in these unprecedented times. From the minute we arrived we couldn't have felt more comfortable or safer. We were greeted by all staff using PPE, hand sanitizer at the front & the taking of our contact details. We sat outside (taking the last available table!) with more than enough space between tables. Marcos have got it spot on & would definitely recommend to anyone it would be the place to go if you have any reservations with going out at this time.

We have just had our second takeway from Marco's and on both occasions we have been highly impressed with the food we received. We have opted for all our usual favourites but have also taken the opportunity to try some new offerings and in doing so we have founda new Marco's favourite being the mixed seafood in cream and paprika sauce. The cooking of the seafood was tremendous.Really glad to see these guys have adapted to current circumstances and seem to be thriving, hopefully it wont be too long before we can be back there on the premises.

We'd intended to book for dinner here to celebrate our anniversary but as the current situation put an end to that plan we were excited to see that a takeaway option was available and decided to give it a try. You can ring from 4pm on the day, the first time I tried the line was busy so gave it 10 minutes and got straight through. We'd already picked what we wanted from the online menu so it was a straightforward process of ordering, paying by card over the phone and then picking a delivery time, made even easier by the gentleman on the end of the phone who was very helpful and cheerful.Our food was delivered bang on time and absolutely piping hot. We've eaten in Marco's several times and always enjoyed the food so were a little apprehensive that as a takeway it wouldn't be as good. Pleased to confirm we had nothing to worry about, everything we ordered was fantastic but we especially loved the sizzling prawns and minted lamb.All in all made for a lovely Saturday night in!

We went for lunch yesterday as it was a Christmas present. Would not go back. The mushrooms were cold, the beef was tasteless and overall was very disappointed. The starters of various breads was far to thick more like doorsteps which we did not expect. The room was cold other customers came in and had the radiator put on but where we sat it was not on but that is just a minor thing in comparison to the food. Sorry for this review but we were really disappointed after reading other reviewers.

We visited Marco's for their Valentines evening, it was truly lovely. As always the staff were friendly, smiling, courteous even though it was very busy, We had a pre-dinner drink a well made porn star martini and then went through to the restaurant. Tables were set out lovely, with a rose and heart shaped cookie to take away. We were expecting to choose from the set menu, which I thought would be hard as I liked so many dishes but were pleasantly surprised when we were told we got everything listed to share. The food was well prepared, beautifully cooked and flavoursome, my husband especially enjoyed the sea bream with chorizo and I loved the wild boar, so so tender. We then finished with a lovely chocolate fondue to share. So we would both like to say well done to the chef the food was amazing. Even though there were 2 sittings and we had the earlier one at no point did we feel rushed and even had time for coffee before we went back into the bar for a further drink. We had a lovely young waitress who was chatty, polite and very friendly. So thanks you all the staff at Marco's for making our Valentines evening truly memorable.

We had not been to Marco's for lunch for a while so thought it was time to revisit and we can confirm that the standard of service and quality and flavour of the tapas dishes have in our opinion only got better over the years.

Amazing food again, had one little problem but was resolved straight away. There was 3 waitresses and 1 waiter, 1 of the waitresses and the waiter was amazing, the other two waitresses was awful. One was very rude and you could tell the other one didn’t want to be there. Had our dinner, asked if we wanted any desert which we said no just the bill please. To then pay the bill, the lady walk off then come back within 5 seconds to tell us we had to get off the table and move to the bar as someone was waiting for our table. Only 5 mins before we was being asked if we wanted desert! I understand it’s a Saturday night and they was busy and had a party, but hadn’t even managed to pick our change up before being told to move. I love the food her and the place is amazing, but I can’t believe how we got told to move after spending the money you do in here

Wonderfully knowledgeable staff who made absolutely certain that my daughter with allergies, my vegetarian husband and myself, strictly gluten free could enjoy a fabulous meal together without any compromises. Thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

Great night at Marcos. Staff were amazing and very friendly. Staff gave fantastic advice on their menu, and food was absolutely amazing. Great service, and nothing was to much trouble. Very good value for money. Live singer (Joe) was absolutely brilliant and wow what a voice. Very friendly atmosphere and certainly is a little gem that we will be visiting again. Thank you everyone on a lovely evening, from the paella ladies

Booked a table for 14 for my friends surprise 40th birthday meal. After discussing with Brad we went for the tapas & tinsel option. I was allowed to go up late afternoon to decorate the table which was appreciated. The staff including Marie & Pam were very attentive & let us know when the bar tab we had running was running low. Fantastic evening & everyone had a great time. Can’t recommend enough 5*

Having tasted Tapars in Spain we thought we'd this place a bash, unfortunately, there was a distinct lack of gravy with our chosen chicken dishes

Visited this somewhat dated Tapars gaff only to find the seats were sticky, which made us ill at the thought of how the kitchen might be, as such we got up and walked, and found s ver tasty Kebab joint across the road, here's some advice Chicco, wipe dem seats.

Visited for the first time a couple of months ago but have just got round to writing a review! I've heard by word of mouth that Marcos is a great restaurant and I'm glad to say what Iv'e heard was right! The tapas is delicious, lots of choice, all very fresh tasting. We went for a romantic meal and it's also suited to groups of friends/family as a great atmosphere and looked like you could have a fun night in the bar area if you wanted to make a night of it. We will come back again with our friends.

We had a fantastic meal for my father in law’s 77birthday on Monday evening. Pamela greeted us with a friendly greeting as always & we had a drink at the bar before being shown to our table. For a family of 5 ranging from 14-77 we ordered paella for 2, squid, lamb, chilli prawns, rice, potatoes and other dishes. Amazing service and food, had the house red wine which is very nice. Bradley who cooked for us came to see if everything was good with our meal. Super evening and was made to feel very welcome. Lovely family run establishment 5* all round Thankyou

First time visit for my wife and I but our two friends had visited several times previously. We all had the Lunchtime Special menu which offered good value. Service was excellent and the food very well cooked and presented. Would definitely visit again.

Brad, Marie and Marcus are always very welcoming, they keep our drinks topped up and provide a fabulous service. The added bonus is seeing the handsome and charming businessmen at the bar.

Had a really nice meal here, food was so tasty, staff were excellent and very polite. Was very busy in the bar area so we stayed at our table. Had a great DJ playing good music too. Would have no hesitation in returning and trying more of the tapas dishes on offer. Thank you Marco’s :-)

Haven’t eaten there in years, had food tonight and the service was unbelievably friendly & the food was possibly the best fish and chips along with chicken that I’d probably say is better then kfcs and any other chicken shop I’ve had it from! The chips was faultless A⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just had another fantastic meal at Neil’s, the food selection is very good with either a mid week specials menu or the choice from the full menu. All food is made and cooked to order and Neil is happy to adjust to suit your tastes. Nice wine selection and a great range of cocktails, If you have not tried this place yet then you are certainly missing out.
