We’ve wanted to try this place out for ages and decided a wet June Sunday was the perfect time. The food was fantastic, in particular the sardines, the dates wrapped in Serrano ham and the cauliflower steak. Will definitely be back!

We have been here several times and it never disappoints. Lovely tasty food and good service by pleasant people. Quiet tonight due to Challenge Cup final but very enjoyable. Specials add variety if you’ve worked your way through the main menu.

Good place in Wigan for Tapas. Nice platter of cold dishes to start. Could have done with more Ham in there but all good. However the Fritata made up for it. Made from scratch and it was amazing. Hot dishes good and wines were decent too

Food was ok Patatas bravas was excellent As was the cod and prawn special. The chorizo in red wine and honey was too sweet, the pork cheeks although tender was just ok in flavour. The oil/vinegar that you get with the artisan bread was way too acidic! You need to look at the vinegar you are using. This is coming from someone who can drink and enjoy pickle vinegar!!. We were the only dinners and yet the food still didn't arrive together. A no no when it's tapas. Although the food was ok they still have a way to go to be an authentic tapas bar.

Luckily managed to get a table at this lovely little place the other evening! We ordered the shared cold platter, prawns, steak pinchos, padron peppers and the showstopper was the Patatas Alioli 👩🍳 Everything was piping hot and fresh out of the kitchen in authentic terracotta dishes. Portion sizes are perfect for two people to share, which I actually prefer to the Spanish style of bigger portions for a whole group to share. The padron peppers were a bit old (the seeds had gone black) and weren't all grilled evenly. Service was a little slow but the waitresses were very pleasant. Would absolutely come back here!

Heard of this place through friends . Travelled from Chorley it did not disappoint. Such a lovely little place just how we like it not too many seats so it’s the perfect environment. The service lovely friendly happy faces . The food was exceptional. My husband had the meatballs , prawns , cod and steak ( he had four dishes ) everything was so perfectly cooked the seasoning the portions . I had three and I think three is plentiful . Really impressed and hard to find decent tapas . This place is really outstanding. I love we could see them cook and that for me just topped it off Thank you for a lovely evening before Christmas . What a find . Kate and David

After reading reviews thought we would give it a try on Sunday evening firstly the young lady who served us was nice and the lager was good. But that's has good as it gets. The tapas was pre cooked and looked like it been put in microwave had four tapas dishes wouldn't recommend any. Sorry to leave poor review but this was my honest opinion.

In my opinion, bringing 1 dish of tapas and making other 3 people sit and watch, isn't great service. And empty starter sharing platters still taking whole table up, not being cleared till prompted, isn't great service. But expecting you to be out in 2 hours to free the table. We literally still had food on plates 5 mins before our time ran out, shoved food down, and with full drinks went to sit outside. Running out of cider after a few bottles - bad stock control. The food was nice, but some dishes lacked seasoning.

After booking ahead and leaving clear notes that we would need space for a pram and a wheelchair, we turned up to celebrate our wedding anniversary to be offered the tiniest table wedged between other tables , there was no space for the pram, we actually didn't need the wheelchair space in the end but definitely wouldn't have got that in. When I questioned when the pram could go then alternatively suggested what I can only describe as a window seal with a pub stool placed under it (for a couple with a pram and a disabled guest. We basically couldn't be seated so despite booking we were left disappointed but luckily managed to book a different restaurant last min Do not say you are accessible if you are not and use electronic booking systems if you are not going to read the notes. We will not return and certainly won't recommend

We went about 12 months ago and were disappointed so haven't been back until yesterday. First impression was that the seats outside were very dirty and clearly hadn't been wiped. We ordered the sharing platter which was bland and sparce. The jamon was cut in wierd wafer thin shavings and the tortilla appeared to be burnt. I was pleased to see Spanish black pudding on the menu although, being a huge fan of the Spanish variety, I was disappointed at what was presented. it was clearly uk black pudding with only 4 tiny pieces served. We won't be going for a third visit.

Fabian K (2 reviews) A warm friendly welcome on arrival with quick, polite and attentive service throughout. Having travelled to Spain on multiple occasions, I'm simply blown away by the quality and authenticity of the Tapas. I'd go so far as to say that the food here is better than in Spain. We're so lucky to have a Tapas restaurant of this quality in Wigan. Long may Plata Tapas continue! On top of all that, the value for money is exceptional. Most dishes average around the £5/£6 mark and with that in mind, when the bill came it was a pleasant surprise. I've paid 3 times more in other restaurants for a meal that was just about OK. My advice, be grateful for the value and make it up with a healthy tip for the staff who are amazing. Just go! You won't be disappointed!

Will definitely be going again soon.

Oh, it was so good! There's a few things that I've not seen at other Tapas places, which was lovely 🥰 We had steamed mussels in a cream and sherry sauce, grilled aubergine with goats cheese, walnuts and honey, goats cheese croquettes which were so fluffy and dates stuffed with manchego I think it was, wrapped in Serrano ham and drizzled with honey. Delicious! I was envious of the braised pork cheeks at another table. The food was truly outstanding and very reasonably priced. It's a firm favourite for me now after this, my first experience, and I'll return when impressing a date ❤️

Sadly I didn’t take photos, wish I had as the food was excellent. Service was great, they put up with my family on Xmas eve, where we lost track of what we ordered and drank plenty through our stay! All of the plates were lovely, nice quality ingredients and cooked well. Kinda wish the seating was a little more comfortable, as it seems to be all wooden chairs, it’s quite an industrial setting within the arches. Very glad somewhere like this is in Wigan though.

Absolutely brilliant I visited on a Friday night and the restaurant had a lively atmosphere and good selection of drinks (beer, wine, gin etc). The food however was the main event, all of it was really fresh and each dish had its own individual flavours, my favourites being the pork cheeks and the fillet steak. Prices were more than reasonable and I’d recommend to anyone to try. Very impressed.

Food was good. We ordered a mix of 6 dishes that we thought we would both enjoy. When they came out there was some that we liked more than others which is always going to be the case. The serrano ham was really nice, as was the pork cheeks, spicy beef meat balls and goats cheese croquettes. I did find the lamb and honey strew a bit dry. Inside the restaurant was full when we arrived with just our pre-booked table free. Definitely a place you need to book ahead and if you are still worried about Covid maybe give it a miss on a Saturday night. Service was ok. I got the feeling that the serving staff are new to the role and they will improve with time.

The food was exceptional! Every dish was done to a high standard so it was really hard to pick a favourite, but the pork cheeks & honey glazed chicken wings do get a special mention. Given the quality of ingredients used the prices are very fair/competitive too! The staff were friendly, attentive and the service was very efficient. We will definitely visit again.

We came here after reading the 5 star reviews on here, we love Tapas and Spanish food. We were met by a surly waitress who never smiled once, the whole time she spoke to us, put our drinks down and served our food, there is literally no atmosphere in the place, I cannot believe all the reviews on here are from customers. She put a specials board in front of us, I asked for the Cava sangria which was on it, I don't think we have that was the reply, so I said I will have the rose sangria then, it was £9.50 and it entailed a half glass of rose with what I would guess was lemonade and a measly skinny slice of lemon, again appalling. The food mediocre at best, when we asked for the bill, not asked if we enjoyed our meal or anything " Card or Cash"........ there's an evening and £70 wasted
