The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Spanish food

If you follow the church spires as landmarks, exit the churchyard of St Alphage in Greenwich, facing west and walk along Straightsmouth, then find your way to the rail bridge on Norman Road to find the footpath across Deptford Creek called the Halfpenny Hatch, and then, using the spire of St Pauls church in Deptford, navigate through the Nature Reserve park and cross the churchyard to Deptford High Street. There you have food, haberdashery, flowers, coffee shops and many restaurants to enjoy. St Alphage by Hawksmoor and St Pauls by Thomas Archer are both London suburb churches built to meet the city expansion in the early 18th century.

Visited with a friend as we fancied somewhere a bit different. Nicely decorated with a cosy Spanish feel. Staff were friendly and conversational. When we went it was £8.50 for three dishes, which makes for a very decent meal and the food was all very pleasant - my friend had the mussels which were particularly generous. The only slight let down was the chocolate fondue for two people, which consisted mainly of chopped apple and banana, and could have been more generous with the strawberries/churros at almost £10. But overall very good value and a solid choice for anyone bored of pizza/pasta/burger.

We were bought a voucher for Xmas & I booked a table on the 6th Feb for the bottomless brunch. When we arrived the restaurant was closed & the bar next door said they had closed for good a few weeks ago! Beware if you are booking this restaurant as they are still advertising as open & taking bookings.

This is one of my favourite restaurants the food is amazing.

very good nice food and drinks :)

Great service and absolutely amazing food, really friendly waiting staff. We had the charcuterie board and bread platter as a starter and there was so much on it! So many different flavours. The Jambalaya packed with seafood. The churros sooo tasty and fresh. It was a really pleasurable experience. Thank you Qubana!!

We had an amazing night at AB1 The staff were very helpful, and the vibe was great. The Manager Gabriel was amazing, helping us with our table of 25 people. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious

We are a family with varying food tolerances, gluten, dairy, eggs and grains, plus I’m a pescatarian so eating out is very difficult. We find independent restaurants/bars are better than the chains. We spent time discussing our options with the restaurant manager who was incredibly helpful. Service and food was amazing. I haven’t had Sea bass and steamed vegetables that tasty in a very long time. Portion size was good. The others had Chicken Pad Thai which was far better than the other chains we have eaten at. A great selection of drinks, the mock tails we had were very unique. We were so impressed that we plan to book her every time we come to the theatre. You won’t be disappointed.

This place is the definition of hit and miss. Personally, my experience was a miss. The calamari was served kinda cold without lemon, my red wine was served fridge temp, the rest of the food was wayyyy too salty, and the staff were disinterested and a bit snooty. Other friends have said they had a nice time here and had good food so it seems like it's just not a consistent operation.

They have Sky Sports and we watched the Leeds match here! Pints around £5.50 and they do food

Never been here before and I thought overall it was pretty good. I've been lucky to have eaten a lot of Tapas style food in Spain over the years and having recently eaten at Rioja also in Glasgow I was tempering my enthusiasm (Rioja is very good)So Friday night, not that busy but food was good. I'm not that keen on Paprika and I found that to be used a fair bit, beef quality could have been better. However wine was fantastic, and price I'm not kidding was half that of Rioja3* Average is maybe a bit harsh, I would go back and for £15 a head for food the value cannot be beaten.

When walking in we-spoke to the only person available which was behind the bar. We said we would like a table for 2 . He said heres the menu go sit over there and pointed to a couple of empty tables . ( no polite banter) After about 10 minutes he came over and asked what we wanted to drink we asked for a specific wine he said haven't got that but i have (whatever) and said we could sample it came over and bashed the glass ion the table . We couldn't belief it (basil faulty out of faulty towers) we just said ok thats fine. He brought the wine over then asked for our order. Honestly the tapas was awful no taste and the tapas dishes were very small compared to normal tapas dishes. Not sure what happened that night but wouldn't recommend it the mermaid across the road does a much better meal 😞

Great food. Same manager who is lovely,

After receiving confirmation of our booking which was made days in advance we took a taxi on a cold wet evening to the restaurant only to find it closed. We called later and were told that the owner had decided not to open until later in the month. His staff had turned up and been notified about an hour before opening time. What a way to run a business.

So noisy my head hurts no point in going if you wish to talk to your partner but if you don't then it's lively. Full of people drinking cocktails.
