Was looking for a lite bite before flying and by chance on maps this was 2min from where we were. We didn't book in advance but was warmly welcomed and the hostess was lovely throughout. To say she is on her own she works amazingly efficient. We ordered 7tapas and some bread between the 4of us and every single one was served timely, piping hot and absolutely delicious. We would highly recommend the Scoth Eggs. The only reason for 4 giving 4 star instead of 5 is the decor felt a little dated. Nothing at all to do with servive or quality. Will definitely return when back in the area.

Me and my wife were here last night (28th Sept 2024) for our second time and it was every bit as good as the first (technically, it was even better, now that they have a license to see alcohol). The atmosphere is very relaxed and cosy, the servers are polite, friendly and attentive, and the food is simply delicious. Every dish we tried (around 6 tapas dishes plus a starter) was made to perfection, melt in your mouth satisfaction with every bite, and the various accompanying sauces and dips just elevate each dish. Old Cross Tapas & Grill is truly a little gem without any faults whatsoever.

We were very disappointed which is a shame as we had high expectations based on the reviews we read. The welcome was excellent! We were made to feel very appreciated. After waiting for the rest of our party we chose our dishes. At this time we were the only people to order. A few others arrived 5-10 minutes after we ordered. Most of our meal arrived not long after, but straight away there was disappointment! The bread ‘basket’ was 4 small pieces of bread, with two small dips. This would not have been so bad if it had been normal bread. It was Olive bread, and there was no mention of this on the menu! We did not discover until we looked at the bread in our hands and saw bits of olive that initially looked like seed. The chicken skewer was covered with Tzatziki, even though it did not say this on the menu, and we had asked for no tzatziki on the lamb Kofta, as two of us are allergic to cucumber. So we’re surprised they put it on another dish instead. Now the Kofta, which was burger shaped instead of a traditional Kebab. This was a thick slab of compacted meat with no real flavour. We had asked for some tomato sauce ( which was on the meatballs) but none available. The meatballs were again just compressed meat, which would not have been so bad but usually would have been marinated in the sauce so the flavour would permeate the food. Not so I’m afraid. Anyway we ate some of the food and our plates were empty and we were still waiting for some further dishes. Ok. After ten minutes or so we asked if the last two dishes were on the way. We were told it would be a few minutes before. Fine. After another ten minutes we asked again as other tables had already received lots of dishes. We were told that the dishes were on the way . About another 8-10 minutes later the prawns turned up, and I must say these did taste lovely. So where were the scollops? Oh they’d be out shortly. To be honest by this time we’d gone off the idea so we say cancel them please. The waitress told us we were being unreasonable and that they were very busy and we needed to wait. “‘ After all we weren’t going hungry “ To be honest we thought this was unreasonable as we had ordered before the restaurant became crowded. And to be honest if the scallops were takin that long to cook they would have tasted like Dunlop. Final word, would we go back! No.No.No.No ( that is one word per person) In response to the owner’s feedback. We did say that two of us were allergic to cucumbers and that is why we asked for no tzatziki on the lamb Koftes . We understand the principle of Tapas, but it just seemed like when the larger group arrived we were just forgotten.

He ido a comer hoy con mi familia, en cuanto hemos entrado me ha venido un olor muy fuerte a fritanga, aún así hemos decidido quedarnos y probar, efectivamente las tapas son tapas, pero los precios desorbitados, por 4 trozo de pan me han cobrado £5.50, la tortilla de patatas era más bien quiché, los calamares congelado y de los malos, la cerveza si pides botella estilo peroni te la sirven directamente en la copa, es decir no te ponen la botella para que te la sirvas tu sino que te vienen con la copa ya servida. En resumen no es ni español ni nada que se le parezca es es un insulto a la cocina española y a su cultura.

In short, it's not Spanish or anything that looks like it, it's an insult to Spanish cuisine and its culture

Early Father’s Day booking - a hidden gem in Ashton, small inside and upstairs. Food was really delicious, I highly recommend the bread starter with dips as it was cooked fresh from oven. Four of us ordered 3 tapas each and the best dishes in our opinion were the prawns, ribs, tortilla and dolmades. Everything else was really nice too. Very reasonably priced and I will definitely be going back!

Popped in early this evening, really to see how big the place was, as we were looking to book it for a party of 12 for a birthday celebration, but we decided to try the food. The Chef very kindly gave us a party menu to take away (set menu available for over 6 people) and the staff happily answered our questions. The room had a lovely ambience and the other diners were happily tucking into dishes full of mussels! We ordered bread, which came warm with olives & 3 lovely dips, patatas bravas, chorizo, paprika chicken, and a small Greek salad and lamb chops from the daily specials menu. The food was so nice - we ordered extra bread to mop up the juices! The Chef came out & told us they would have an alcohol licence from next week & she gave hubby a sample of the red wine she would be serving. He really enjoyed it. The downside of this lovely little restaurant is that they don’t have a children’s menu - they apparently don’t really cater for children, and to my astonishment they don’t do desserts!!!!!! Shock, horror - to me, a dessert or a nice ice cream and coffee after a meal really finish off the dining experience. I’ve never heard this before, and was disappointed to say the least. Needless to say we won’t be booking our birthday celebration here but we did enjoy the food we had.

This was our first visit to the old Cross, the food was fantastic and our group were having a lovely time. The visit was spoiled by staff wanting to get home early. We had just finished our meal & the bill was delivered to the table without any of our group asking for it . The staff were sat waiting behind us, ready to go home , we asked if they were waiting to go home & a member of staff said , "Yes, you have ten minutes left of your slot ." It was only 9.40 on a Saturday night!!! Shame really the food was lovely.

Just had one of the most incredible meals in my life. Absolutely blown away by the quality and flavours of the food. My wife and I enjoyed the Garlic ciabatta with cheese and caramalised onion, the Albondigas, Chicken in a creamy paprika sauce, Patatas Bravas, Calamari, Garlic Mushrooms and from the specials board I had the King Scallops in a lemon butter sauce with samphire. We only stumbled upon the Old Cross because my wife had had an appointment at nearby Tameside Hospital and needed a bit of cheering up. We both love Tapas so we headed over. I'm so pleased we did. I consider myself to be a very good cook which is why despite enjoying great food, I rarely enjoy eating out because I always think 'I can cook better at home' so I'm very pleased to say I've finally found somewhere that is as good if not better than my own food. The Calamari was literally perfectly cooked. The sauce in the creamy paprika chicken was super, super tasty as was the sauce with the Albondigas. Really super flavoursome food. The King Scallops especially were superb, really Michelin star quality and I doubt even the great Marco Pierre White could present a better dish of scallops.

Food very good tasty and fresh gorgeous! Came out fast and chef was busy!! Chicken paprika wow. Tortilla unreal sublime. Couldn’t fault the food it was amazing. Have to say the Bar area needs to be other way round so you cant see whats going on behind looked bit scruffy. Needs an update inside. Blinds hanging down. Toilet needing cleaning. No candles or atmosphere which is a shame. Missing a trick with deserts the waitress could do these something Spanish quick with a small coffee. Prices a bit high £51 for 2 but we enjoyed the food a-lot. We took our wine 🍷 which was good! Coffee machine looked dodgy hot water pouring out. All in all this is 2nd time I’ve been here. Food is worth it !!! Chef works hard.

Intimate little restaurant serving fabulous food, all cooked on order by owner and Chef, Mandy. The paella is the best I have ever tasted but don't forget to check the specials board as well. When everything is so good it's ideal that it's tapas, perfect for sharing with family and friends. Menu prices are very reasonable and as it's BYOB, you save money bringing your own alcoholic drinks. (Edit ; they charge that small an amount for corkage i never even noticed until they replied to this review) Friendly, attentive staff in a lovely relaxed atmosphere complete the picture, making this one of my favourite places to bring the people that I love. x

We called in on spec without a booking and they managed to fit us in. It’s a small place but lovely and didn’t feel too over crowded. The ladies were lovely and helpful, nothing was too much bother for them. Very attentive and kept making...

Was here last Saturday with my mum and partner and I have to say the food here is amazing. Small portions as a tapas place should be. I had the calamari and ham and cheese croquetas just so good.

Cosy with the feel good factor. Service after our selection of dishes was brilliant. Not all brought out at the same time so everything was hot when it came out also gave us breathing time in between dishes. Can not praise the food enough. So...

Food was tasty but greasy especially the vegetable rice Will go back again but order something different. There was 1 waiter who seemed to be running around doing everything.
