The best restaurants serving Spanish food in England

Very good atmosphere, Spanish food and tapas, good prices and good beer, excellent service.

We were very much looking forward to come back here as we used to go regularly. It used to be rustic, relaxing and great tapas. The whole experince was chaotic as one waiter desperately tried to throw out food that was overcooked, dry and with zero love put in. To fail with such basic dishes and then charge 10 pounds per plate is a disgrace. When we complianed about a dish the staff just shrugged their shoulders with a smile and a knowing look before taking it away. No owner or manager in sight. Such a shame!

Nous avons passé une excellente soirée dans ce restaurant sophistiqué aux plats savoureux. Le menu possède de nombreux plats sans gluten. Le personnel était agréable et attentif. Nous reviendrons.

The biggest disappointment here is that this restaurant was definitely poor value for money. For example £9.75 for 2 x 3" chicken skewers was excessive. The Calamari dish, (£9.75), was basically batter with very little Calamari involved. The Piri Piri prawns were again overpriced at £9.25 for 5 small peeled prawns. The plate of Iberian Ham was delicious but again was very overpriced, (£24), for what it was. It came with some very hard mini breadsticks & could have been improved with something like some small Gherkins & bread. We left after paying £80 for what was baically 6 small dishes feeling as if their prices were acceptable just because the location was Marlborough! I'd get a better deal at Rick Steins! Service was OK.

Had bottomless brunch. My friend was very happy with the Sangria and I enjoyed lots of fizz. I enjoyed the calamari, truffle fries and chicken thighs. Lovely, helpful staff- especially as we were late. Thank you Millie, Sophie,Dan and Isla👍

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.

A little bit of paradise in the heart of a city with Spain at the north meet. Really cool vibe lots of food that will blow your tongue apart and wine which equally the same.

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.

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.

This is a lovely little old village pub and has many fans. (?). The food service staff are a group of pleasant young girls with no supervision. Therefore they are not focused on the needs of their customers. Usually they are gathered in a group away from the eating guests. We ordered 6 tapas dishes. The portions were very generous but fairly expensive compared to other Spanish restaurants. Three of the dishes were just acceptable but three were on the verge of being sent back. 5 of these dishes were not served at acceptable temperatures. If there had been evidence of a supervisor on duty that would have happened. 1, The chicken supreme was grossly over cooked in the process of preparation and then over-reheating resulted in dried out chicken making it impossible to eat. 2, The Frito Misto had spent much too long in the deep fryer and resulted in whitebait, prawns and mussels (many stuck together) that were over-cooked and all tasting of sour whitebait. 3, The cod suffered with a similar lack of care and attention in the kitchen. It was over-cooked and lacked seasoning and flavour. 4. There was no evidence of any supervisory staff on duty. So in summary, the owners of this establishment need to seriously review its management arrangements and supervision of both front of house and food preparation operations. Why are dishes like this leaving the 'pass' in the first place? Who is checking that? In the restaurant they need mature supervision by staff that understand the function and purpose of the business of running a restaurant.

We absolutely loved this place 💖 What started off as a late lunch ended up us staying till 11pm. We were made so welcome we didn’t want to leave! ✨ The venue is lovely, staff so friendly and food and cocktails absolutely delicious. Icing on the cake was a local live band playing in the evening who were brilliant! A place full of heart and soul on all levels 💜 Thank you. We shall be back xx
