The best restaurants serving Spanish food in East Midlands

This special Tapas event is only available on certain weekends as the restaurant is currently awaiting resale, so it is necessary to check when the next event is scheduled. The food is wonderful and very reasonably priced, with normally up to nine individual dishes for sharing between two people ( or a whole one each if you feel really hungry. There is also a good selection of local craft beers and traditional cocktails etc . The sweets are a real treat, so go on and spoil yourself. A really great night out and a wonderful atmosphere and the staff are wonderful and friendly. We look forward to the next evening as soon as possible.

This is the second time I have had the pleasure of Justin's amazing catering. The first my 50th and now a fabulous day of the dead party. He always gets it right. All of the preparation is hassle free, food is amazing, there is no clearing up, and Justin himself is full of fresh ideas and has such a sunny disposition. Just what you need at any party. So good two of my friends have already made the most of his culinary talents. Cannnot wait until my next excuse to celebrate.

Dined as a couple 1st march & it was our second visit. Food, staff fab & we would recommend. Cant wait to go again.

We enjoyed our food but the overall experience felt rushed, it was our first visit so we did need a little time with the menu and stated that more than once when asked for our food order. To be fair it was busy but there were empty tables available so it didn't seem necessary. We all said we'd return and give it another go.

Went in today for a Sunday lunch with my fiancee and we couldn't believe how good the food and service was. Not a step wrong. Will definitely be going back! Thanks!

The good: Excellent food with a great choice of Spanish beers. Nice place and a nice ambience. The not so good: What did disappoint was the service and that was felt by the majority of our party. We were a large group on a long table. A lot of the dishes came at once ( felt like a food explosion) the staff didn’t distribute the dishes evenly on the table. One end of the table got the prawns while the other end didn’t even know they existed. Likewise, the Chorizo dishes and cheese board were all lumped in one area We also felt rushed, which is not what we expected with a Tapas meal, it was everything but a relaxing experience. Yes it was a busy Saturday afternoon, but that shouldn’t be our problem, it was a 2 hour booking and no need to hurry. Hard to justify top ratings, had the service reflected the expectation and quality of the food then my scoring may have been higher. I have no qualms about going back, so hopefully this review will be seen as constructive rather than a moan and whinge.

Dinner here last night with a friend. Probably the best tapas I’ve ever had. Some superb wines and sherry on the menu too: we had a bottle of Spanish Gewurtztraminer, which was a first for me. Friendly service :-) Great experience :-)

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.

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.

Wanted to try this place since it opened its first time. So second time round finally got to try it. Went on a Thursday. Was 1 of only 2 tables dining. Place was extremely cold and had to keep coat on think that was due to lack of people being inside. Service was great and really was all you could eat. The waiter kept asking if we wanted more. The food was generally good however quality on some dishes could of been better. Dining is mostly up some steep stairs so access could be an issue. Lots of local parking. I would come back but on a weekend when more people to improve atmosphere and hopefully make the place warmer. Lots of options on the menue and a great price.

Clean and comfortable. Very helpful, friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Food was absolutely unbelievable tonight. Service has been fantastic, Alex served us incredibly well and was very knowledgeable about the menu. Thank you so much for making this random Saturday a special evening!

I fell like I am reviewing a different venue as our experience was at odds with that of preceding reviewers, perhaps there was a different team on duty. It was an impromptu visit and a great find. The food, service and value was the best we have experienced for brunch anywhere. Staff were very friendly and helpful, the food well presented and perfectly cooked to order, the best flat white coffee I've had for a long time and for the first time ever we asked for a doggy bag as the portions were so large and food too good to waste. There was a great mix of ages, individuals working on their laps tops, family groups and cyclists which made for a great atmosphere. We will return and hope it lives up to our now high expectations!
