Pata Negra Spanish Tapas Bar in Wandsworth - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I am flabbergasted by some of these reviews. ! I do not understand. We love this place and love the owner, who is so kind, amazingly kind and lovely. He produces real food which is rare now. His food is exquisite.SO delicious, so fresh , so beautiful and he is the soul of goodness. We had a beautiful meal last night ,again, and were treated like family. It is true , he has had a hard time getting staff as has everyone. Last night that was all sorted out. Pepe was cooking and it was such a lovey evening. So go here and eat real food from a real caring cook. I cant say what has promoted the negativity but i have eaten here lunch and dinner, bright many guests and always how I want every restaurant to be and most aren't. We love every moment and every bite we eat. SO go and enjoy. Lunch ,by the way , has to be the best bargain in London with home made delicious food to die for . healthy food ,too

Amazing lunch. Pepe was working single handedly and produced a great lunch. A good local tapas restaurant. The food is always good here and fresh produce is used.

What a miserable experience - extremely rude front of house, food was dropped / thrown on the table, no greeting given upon arrival, decided optional service charge being denied that “if I could not afford it, I should go to McDonalds” … deeply unpleasant and was told to “f**k off”… not what I expect when out with my wife. The normal reaction may be to enquire why I may be unsatisfied. Food was edible but very average. Service in McDonald’s is better!!

Absolutely vile experience. The head of house was rude from the outset and got no better as the evening progressed. As a result we decided it did not warrant paying the service charge. At this point the staff member became extremely rude and aggressive, suggesting my husband takes me to Mac Donald’s if he can’t afford this and then told him to xxxx off. He was extremely rude and offensive and made no effort to find out why we were not feeling like the service didn’t warrant a tip, after leaving we looked at other reviews and can see several similar encounters. I would steer clear of this at all costs!!!

Fantastic food.... fantastic service.... overall one of the best night out...... thanks to all staff. Will be back.

Looking at other reviews … my friends & I were sadly subjected to the rude unpleasant owner .. not the friendly attentive one . From the start the lead waiter/owner ? ignored us , when we did finally get his attention he was aggressive & odd . The food was very good . There was also a waitress who spoke very little English was smiley & polite but the owner had to take the orders & the bill . When we said we were not going to pay the service he starting shouting & swearing & was horribly aggressive in my friends face & told us to not come back. What a foul man .. he shouldn’t be in this industry .. I would avoid this restaurant this was a most unpleasant experience

The rudest owner I have ever encountered my entire life. He clearly showed his unwillingness to host our party of 4 by avoiding eye contact with anyone from our party (maybe due to the fact my wife and friend are Asian?). Instead, he kept checking on the other two tables, seeing whether they needed coffee or dessert. After waiting for 15 minutes, I tried telling him we were ready to order, but he just waved me away saying he was busy (there was literally only two other table occupied in the whole restaurant). In the end we had to leave.

Excellent, authentic Spanish tapas. Service prompt and very friendly. Gets quite , so worth booking.

I visit London four or five times a year and always make a point of eating here repeatedly over the past twelve years. The food is outstanding, and the owner is always very welcoming and attentive to his customers, many of whom are regulars: local, not local, young, old, all ethnicities, all nationalities. Regardless of the day of the week I go, at least half of the customers are known to the owner. It’s the type of restaurant where people engage in conversation with their table mates and with those seated at tables nearby simply because of the atmosphere created by the owner.

As black tourists we had a bad encounter with the staff who ran the place. I entered with my 11 year old daughter, before consuming we asked where it was the bathroom as my daughter had necessity to use . the gentleman accompanied us to the exit door very rudely. This made us feel discriminated and it was something we would never have expected from a city like London. The gentleman was blatantly racist.

Hugely disappointing and the worst restaurant experience I have had in London in over 20 years, even though the food was good. Owner unnecessarily rude, inattentive and left us waiting to place our order for nearly 45mins and made us move to a smaller table even though three quarters of the restaurant was empty! Sadly won’t be bringing any friends to this local any more

Slow service, Good food and wine. We would have stayed for more wine, coffee and desserts, but were put off by the waiter loudly watching videos in the restaurant which was extremely irritating; We left and spent £50 elsewhere on desserts and coffees

Wonderful neighbourhood restaurant with a lovely family feel. Good quality food with quick and authentic service- would really recommend, wonderful dinner will be back.

The taste of food are authentic. All I have eat was great. Friendly environment and great staff. Nice place, and good prices.

Friendly staff, Variety of Tapas food and some main dishes available, warm atmosphere. Although on busy nights you might have to wait the fresh authentic food is well worth the wait.

The food was fantastic! Would especially recommend the rabbit, goats cheese, chorizo and calamari. The staff were brilliant and very friendly. The wine I had was brilliant and the limoncello at the end was appreciated. We will definitely be back if we are in the area.

Built our plans around coming here and literally could not wake this guy up. Not a great way to advertise your business! And totally disrupted our plans for the day. Won't be trying again.

Chose to eat here due to recommendations and reviews. Wasn’t disappointed food excellent cooked to order and hot. Service first class despite being busy and even had time to joke about me asking for no chilli in dishes. Would definitely go back. Only downside for less than mobile is the toilets being downstairs

Tapas were all extremely tasty and appetising - special stand out to the pulpo a la gallega. We finished our meal with churros & chocolate which were ridiculously good. Friendly and fairly speedy service, despite the fact the place is busy. The sangria recipe can perhaps be enhanced but we still had two jars! Highly recommended for a relaxed evening out at honest prices.

Friendly proprietor, good variety of Tapas and some main dishes. My favourite is pork cheeks in a special sauce. There are also plenty of vegetarian dishes, all dishes are cooked to order so if you try on Friday or Saturday you may have to wait...

The restaurant and staff were excellent. The tapas just got better with every dish we received. The waiter was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. I have been to a number of tapas restaurants and this for me was the best I’ve ever...

Recently visited this restaurant, it was vey busy and there was only one waiter who was running around very busy. The service was fairly poor, no smile and everything felt like a burden but not awful and to be fair he was very busy. That...

Excellent understated tapas bar where the food and drink shine out. I have been going to this place for several years and I now realise that it's my favourite casual dining spot. A well chosen (Spanish !) wine list and a regular tapas menu is...

Local independent restaurants like this are hard to come by these days but Pata Negra bucks the trend. Have been coming here for many years, food is always delicious - classic, Spanish Tapas dishes with an excellent wine menu. Pepe the owner is always welcoming....

Not a very warm reception on arrival, one might have said slightly surly. Pimientos al Padrón were good, freshly fried and sprinkled with salt. Pretty much everything else was from the freezer section of a wholesaler. The croquetas where still frozen in the middle. Calamares...

Very nice Spanish restaurant in Putney. I have been there many times and love it. It's pretty cheap and with a wide variety of tapas, all very good and tasty. I also recommend eating the paella, made like the real Valencian one, drinking Sangria and...

Para Negra or Black Hoof is perhaps not best translated for fear this Spanish restaurant might serve horsemeat Cornish pasties. It’s a quaint room with a slightly fusty atmosphere whose maitre d’ I’d a sort of larger than life extra from the 1970s sitcom Robin’s...

Pata Negra has been a life saver over shut down with takeaway food booked a table last Friday with a friend and as always fantastic food great wine and service. A big thank you to Pepe and the chiefs. Can't wait to come back and...

I'm seldom in Putney these days but when I do visit, this restaurant is my favourite eating place and on Wednesday I went for lunch with my friend Rob, also a local fan. Peppe was his usual friendly self, a very busy man who always...

I visited on a Friday for dinner and the food was tasty and quick to arrive. Great selection of wines and all the staff are very attentive.

Highly recommend the specials' menu particularly. The food was absolutely delicious. The gentleman in charge conducts almost all table service and is managing the rest of the staff, so don't expect to be pandered to too much, but all the same everyone is very friendly...

This place is hilariously bad. Booked a table? ahh it's ready whenever it's ready. Want to order a drink? good luck finding someone, and if by some miracle you do - there is only one man who is 'allowed' to take your order. Once you...

I rarely find myself in a position where service is so poor. I feel the need to write a review, but after seeing all the positive reviews myself before booking a table (and having high hopes) I feel it is necessary for people to understand...

I've lived in Putney for 7 years and Pata Negra is one of my favourite restaurants! The food is delicious and the staff are always so friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend the calamari, chorizo and aubergine dishes! But everything it worth a try....

I’ve eaten here several times always at lunch and have never been disappointed. We also tried the tapas which are fresh and tasty. Very good value.

We were looking forward to the dinner out given the rave reviews on trip advisor. Having had one of the worst experiences in a while, I’m not sure if the rest of the trip advisor reviews are written by Pepes friends?? The evening kicked off...

This is an unassuming but authentic tapas eatery in Putney, South West London. The proprietor - Pepe - is always present and offers a range of dishes, including a well-priced daily menu. A credible wine list and a friendly atmosphere, both during the day and...

Don’t be put off by the exterior or the fact that this site has seen many restaurant failures This occupant is awesome Best tapas I’ve ever had here or in Spain Easy atmosphere, great menu and every dish is astonishing

Wow! I’ll start with that. We have driven past so many times. I’m ashamed. We had lunch today and it is without doubt the best ‘surprise’ lunch ever Patas ( incredible) Chicken livers... beyond brilliant Gambas exquisite Tricolour salad beautiful Need I go on It’s...

This is my second visit in about as many years to the Pata Negra tapas bar in the Upper Richmond Road a short throw of a chorizo sausage from Putney (mainline) station. This Wednesday lunchtime saw a genteel clientele no doubt taking advantage of a...

We had a lovely meal here - we live locally so gave it a try and we loved it. Lovely atmosphere and the service is attentive and friendly. Food was delicious - we had the calamari, chorizo and goats cheese and peppers, all of which...

The Tapas food is quick and easy with good portions or you can order a main meal that may take a little longer there is a wide variety of wines although I preferred the beers. The deserts are wonderful and melt in your mouth, even...

There are no words to describe this place. Pepe the owner is a gentleman who makes sure every guest has the warmest possible welcome. The food is consistently scrummy. I would recommend this place to anyone and can't wait to come back.

Great tapas, and ongoing wonderful service often by the owner unlike other local restaurants where service has gone donwhill massively.

Guys... I can’t say anything other than if you don’t go here you’re missing out in life! By far the biggest treat a putney and SW London has to offer! Deep fried calamari, tortilla, Patatas Bravas, lamb cutlets... all the drizzle that you should see...

Well, in fairness we almost didn’t get in as we were worried the place was closed - not much light shining into the street, but we were so happy we tried it anyway. The evening spend in this lovely hidden gem was amazing! We felt...

We have now become regulars at this great little restaurant. Owner treats customers like long-lost food and the food is really excellent. Really nice atmosphere as well and pretty reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.

The ride there was long as we had our hotel on the other side of London but a thing is sure it was worth it! The tapas wore great the wine of the house really good but most of all the personnel was funny and...

Ordered 4 plates which were quite large but full of flavour. The garlic chilly prawns were exceptional, pedro peppers and wild asparagus with goats cheese are a must. Very impressed they stocked Estrella Galicia, which was yummy. Service was above average. Atmosphere was lacking music...

We were down for a day's Tennis at Wimbledon and stayed a couple of nights locally. We discovered this Restaurant by chance and it was not disappointing. Hot, freshly cooked Tapas - they were all delicious - and lovely fruity red wine. Whats not to...

The food was lovely and arrived on time, but we were approached with a rather rude manner from a certain waiter, giving off the impression of a manager. I’m not sure if we were lost in translation attempting to fit the restaurant and speak Spanish...

Lovely restaurant run by lovely people Nice food tapas and with a good choice of main courses as well as a good choice of sweets , good service Recomended

First of all I would like to say, “we are both PUTNEY residents and love to support local restaurants”! Myself and a friend had a table reserved for 8pm on Friday, 21st of June. Upon arriving and we were told that upstairs was busy and...

I am 3 months pregnant and was waiting for a bus. I have been to this restaurant previously perhaps 2 or 3 times and it was average, being pregnant I was desperate for the toilet. I asked the man (robust,grey haired) if I could use...

Spanish plates which are really Spanish, not imitations. Owner is nice and service oriented. Plates (tapas)are small and quite expensive. Bread quality is low. Worth visiting/

I’ve been in Spain few times and all the tapas we tried last weekend at Pata Nega were gorgeous. Original mixes, softy bread and rich Spanish wines.

We visited Pata Negra as a group of friends - there was a great variety including some lovely seasonal options (asparagus with goats cheese) and all the tapas we tried were excellent. We also had two very drinkable red wines and the staff looked after...

This is a very relaxing place to go with friends for lunch or dinner. It has a loyal and regular following and the owner, Pepe, is always welcoming and engaging. A good selection of traditional tapas both hot and cold and the set price lunch...

Some of the tapas we have ever had (we’ve had plenty!,) lovely evening thanks you so much. Absolutely loved the peppers and goats cheese and not to mention the wine that we were recommended

We went there a while ago as we had heard good feedback about the restaurant. The meat they serve (pork, meat selection with ibérico ham) was a bit lacking in flavour, especially the chorizo on the meat platter. It was not bad, but usually the...

Four of us went for dinner and we really enjoyed it. Great tapas especially the meat balls and pork belly. Delicious prawns and calamari. Good selection of lovely wines. The restaurant is quite small and charming and the Spanish owner was very friendly and accommodating....

Good food, good vibe. Just easy real Spanish food. Lovely for a nice casual meal with both typical classics on the menu as well as some really nice specialities.

What a discovery! It only takes a favourite venue to be closed and the adventurousness to take a few steps further to discover this authentic restaurant perfect for lunchtime. The menu is fixed at £8.95 (very competitive) and I had outstanding chicken livers followed by...

Great little Tapas restaurant, nice food, friendly staff and really good value. Does seem to get busy most evenings after 7.00pm so make sure you book!

I really enjoyed the tapas here. Good service too. However the brick and corrugated wall coverings were not entirely to my taste.

This little place close to the junction of Putney High Street and the Upper Richmond Road has seen a multitude of different occupants over the years. One, I think, may have been a Spanish restaurant and tapas bar; more recently a Mexican bar. I hope...

Very tasty and proper Spanish tapas. Authentic manager running the front of house with good and friendly service. Also a good selection of wines.

First time visit to Pat Negra last night and will be back very soon. Tapas should be simple and easy to do but so many places serve you sub-standard ingredients and think if they put it in a Spanish serving dish people will eat anything...

Love this place. Delicious no-nonsense tapas. Best patatas bravas I've ever had. Excellent service. The waiter was juggling all jobs from making sangria to serving 10 tables at once and kept everyone totally happy. Great atmosphere, will definitely be back soon.

The food was fair but nothing to write home about, though the sangria and Irish coffees were excellent. However, the service was slow and unfriendly.

Perhaps this is about expectation management. The effusive reviews had me hoping for something really well-cooked and maybe even with a dash of creativity. However, it wasn't to be so. The restaurant, to put it kindly, is in the shabby chic style. Service was a...

Have been here 4 times in the last few months and always treated very well by pepe and crew . Lovely food freshly cooked and a warm welcome from pepe himself

Everything on the menu is delicious and the food is ridiculously cheap. The sangria is good and we usually get a free pitcher when we are there. Everything about this place is amazing!

Bepe, the legendary owner deserves success and has been a Putney legend for many years. Tapas freshly cooked and delicious. Great variety for all on the menu. Lunch two course menu for £8.95 has to be best value menu in London. Draught pints of beers...

I’ve been in this restaurant a few times by now and never disappointed. The restaurant looks very cute, and you could easily feel like you are in Spain while in there. The food is great and the portions are very generous for a tapas. Everything...

This is an exceptionally good restaurant and when I'm staying in Putney I'm fortunate to be able to call it my local. I was here last week, my fifth or sixth visit since Peppe took it back under his leadership after several lost years when...

The choice of food is good, it is all fresh the staff are friendly, the whole ambiance is friendly. The wines and beers are tasty, it takes me back to a Spanish town where the food was so good the staff and customers so friendly....

Pepe the owner has been in the restaurant business for 50 years, he's passionate about good food and good wine. Pata Negra is Putney's newest Tapas restaurant that serves great food and has a late night bar underneath for dancing. Pop in and say hi...
