The best restaurants serving Spanish food in South East

This places sells itself on ‘live music’…. So having researched restaurants with live music, we booked Salty Olive. I had phoned in advance and told the music would be 3-6pm so we booked for 2.45pm. On arrival we were taken to the ‘Back Lounge’ which is a totally separate room where the live music cannot be seen or heard!!!! After a while the manager came over and was actually very apologetic and soothed the situation and upset. He said we’d still hear the music. We couldn’t!!!! The food then took ages!!!! I appreciate it’s cooked fresh but the menu is small and the idea of Tapas is food comes fairly quickly and you can order more as you go along if needed. We can waited nearly an hour. I think our order may have been forgotten as tables around us were being served quicker. But there was no apology. Oh and they added service!!!!! We just paid it to avoid any further upset. The back lounge is has NO atmosphere at all!! Avoid it! I would say if you book here - book the front bit only and make sure you have plenty of time!!

Last night of a week long holiday in Hastings and Las Tapas was open so thought we would give it a go. Issue with veg delivery meant no Padron Peppers which was a shame. Had the Patas Bravas, Chorizo and Prawn dishes. All cooked to order. You can see the kitchen area so you know exactly what is happening to your food. All excellent. Churros and chocolate sauce, well.... Staff very friendly

Amazing food all very tasty and also the only guy working having to serve food and seat and do drinks was amazing very accommodating! Perfect he was

Food was great but all dishes arrived together. Table was to full and dishes soon got cold. Your reply is wrong. This was our first time and your waitress did not explain this when we were ordering, and we certainly did not try to send any dishes back. therefore my review is now a 2

Great Spanish tapas, fast service, great selection and friendly service

Absolutely fantastic service and the food was amazing! The waiter was incredibly helpful and funny. Would love to see again!

Delicious food and fantastic service. Our waiter Arran was absolutely amazing, so friendly and attentive. We had a perfect evening

great evening out, excellent tapas, really noisy as so busy

Good food and service. Piella was very good

We went for the bottomless brunch but definitely found the bottom… staff never came over to check if we needed more drinks therefore we were sat there with empty glasses for a long time before one of us had to keep getting up asking the staff for drinks. When doing so we found the staff were just messing around at the bar doing nothing, one trying to balance an ice pole on his face, the other rolling a cigarette. The waitress was also just stood in the kitchen on her phone most of time to the point I had to ask her to serve us. We had to ask for drinks repeatedly after waiting ages. This wasn’t due to them being busy because we were one of two groups there. Even when asking for the bill we then were sat there ages waiting for it. Definitely wouldn’t go again, ever. We also felt the cocktails were really weak and were just juice at the best of times. Very disappointing

Favourite restaurant in Haywards Heath. Miguel and his staff always make you feel welcome and the food is always great. Personal favourites are the octopus and anchovies .They also do a cracking bottle of house Rioja !. Cannot fault this place at all.

Odd place, serving bottles of beer, but it has a cool vibe and a friendly barman. I could imagine chilling here for a few hours. In good weather plenty of seating outside.

Food was lovely and the portions big! The waitress was lovely and helpful!

Very friendly welcome, staff were great throughout our meal. We all chose 2 plates each which with the bread was plenty Cannot fault the food, excellent. The wine we chose was good too, as were the sherries some of us had. Personally I thought it a trifle expensive for my budget, pity as I would love to return.

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.
