The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Spanish food

Upon entering, the restaurant fails to make a favorable impression. Ok from the outside resembles a run-down resort from the inner, featuring mismatched furniture sourced from car boot sales, propped up by tables with napkins. The food, though passable, falls short of justifying its price point. For £50, expect three potatoes, a few chorizo pieces, and four small pork belly portions. To leave sufficiently satisfied, be ready to splurge at least £100 for two. The service mirrors the overall mediocrity, requiring patrons to actively flag down staff for dessert cutlery or drinks. This establishment is not ideal for special occasions or those seeking a balance of good food and reasonable prices.

Great spot for fantastic authentic Spanish tapas! The food was really tasty made with quality ingredients. Nikki and her team provided top class service. Long story short my wife cannot eat certain foods due to IBS. Nikki was able to tweak many dishes so that my wife could enjoy the meal. Both my wife and I throughly enjoyed the food, took us back to Spain! The Gambas Pil Pil is a must 👌🏽 as are the cocktails! The setting is also nicely decorated with good music playing, no doubt a great atmosphere later on in the evening.

Amazing food. A real hidden gem. Portion sizes are big and there was nothing to fault. I left my scarf behind and they kindly posted it to me promptly with no charge for postage which I was more than happy to pay for. Great service and we will be returning.

Great find...staying briefly in Gloucester & this tapas restaurant was opposite our accommodation, Premier Inn at Gloucester Quays. Fabulous food, and service.

I had high hopes for this restaurant, unfortunately my hopes were shattered. Let me start by saying I had received fantastic service at the run up to our dinner when I queried the menu or the dress code and that is where the positives end. We arrived for our pre-theatre dinner a little late and apologised. Once we were seated we realised it didn't make a jot of difference as we were the only people in the entire restaurant. I asked if they were expecting more people to which they replied yes it's early. Looking back we should have left at this point as it was a huge red flag. We ordered cocktails as I'd seen some great cocktails on their social media. What we got was utterly disappointing. They were served in some plastic tumblers which made us feel like we were toddlers. Worst of all, they just didn't taste nice. The flavours were all wrong and they didn't go together. Something important seemed missing They were not cheap at 16 pounds a pop either. So we decided to give it the benefit of the doubt and when our starter was served tucked in. My husband took one mouthful and looked disgusted. He said "I'll eat anything, you know me but I just don't want to eat this. I tried it and again it was just not balanced at all. All style and no substance. My starter was edible enough so I ate it as I was hungry but it was not what I would call tasty. Mains arrived and we considered asking to pay up and cut our losses but we stuck it out. Hoping for a change with our mains. It didn't come. My husband had the chicken shawarma, which could have come from a kebab shop. I had the trout, which looked and tasted more like salmon and which was not cooked properly in the middle. We'd had enough we asked for the bill. We stated our issues and asked for the 12.5 service charge to be removed as this added insult to injury. There was no attempt to apologise or rectify our evening. We left, glad that we were out of that restaurant. The service was poor, no one asked us at any point how our food was as we would have told them. The food was beyond poor. The drinks were poor. Added to this there was zero atmosphere in the restaurant as we were the only customers. A full house of disappointment. Avoid if you have any tastebuds or taste.

Very comfortable atmosphere, and very tasty food. Staff very polite, attentive and knowledgeable on the food and drinks menu. Would recommend and will definitely return regularly!

On the tapas front, nothing to write home about. Good but nothing special, nothing you cannot make at home. Ingredients could have been better. Olives tasted cheap, bread was just bread -could have been from Lidl or Aldi. Now, the service was horrible. Rush, rush, rush, taking the order, rush, rush, rush, asking for empty plates. Unfriendly. No manners for a good customer experience. My lamb was delicious, but overall too expensive, too miserable the service! Not going back.

Good food with Excellent amber ales. Lovely setting and good service. Definitely would recommend this restaurant in Dale.

Pork scratchings weren’t the best though had a nice bevvy on the balcony with a sea view. Not too bad for a swift drink……..

Closed for refurbishment so didn't get to try but looked tired and run down a bit like rest of prestiegne. Town not worth a visit.

Three of us had the lunch h time offer at £18 each. One bottle of water I lemonade and I e put it beer was charged £86 . Think I was charged individually not charged for the offer. Make sure you check your bill.

A really lovely dinner with my friends - personal and friendly service, delicious food and happy with the rices as well.

I went to collect a Too Good To Go (TGTG) surprise bag worth £5 that I had reserved on the app. The staff was polite, invited me to take a seat, and handed my bag to me about 5 minutes later. However, the portions were tiny!! Barely 2 scoops of plain white rice, one small chicken drumstick with a meagre splash of curry, and literally just 10 chips (yes, I counted). Everything was thrown carelessly into a paper box which was perfunctorily wrapped in clingfilm and placed in a plastic bag, and the paper box was soggy by the time I reached home. While it tasted alright, it was most definitely not worth £5.

 I mainly use the TGTG app to sample restaurants and cuisines that I’m unfamiliar with and may want to try for a full meal. While the taste of what little this restaurant provided was alright, I’m now reluctant to support a business (listed as family-run on their profile!) that seems to exploit customers under the pretence of the noble cause of preventing food waste. Given the meagre portions and the carelessness of the packaging, I wonder why they even signed up for the TGTG app in the first place, really. I took a chance on this restaurant despite the negative reviews and now regret it, as this seems to be a recurring issue with this restaurant for several years now. I would strongly discourage anyone from reserving TGTG surprise bags from this establishment. Such a blatant and unconscionable rip-off.

This was our first visit & it didn’t disappoint. The Tapas Menu was varied & the dishes were well presented. Quality of the food was faultless & the staff were both knowledgeable about the menu & very polite. My only criticism was that we were told that they would box up what we couldn’t eat so asked that our Bread & Olives (we didn’t start to eat them) be boxed up only to discover when we got home that they only boxed up the bread & left out the olives. A minor detail but failed to het full marks for this reason.

Celebrated a 50th birthday and we couldn’t haven’t been looked after any better by Sarah. We were a group of 13 and she kept us all fed and watered, and the restaurant provided a nice cake at the end. Cocktails were lovely, Tapas was very good, I especially enjoyed the meatballs and ham croquettes but others had their own favourites. A memorable night!
