The best restaurants serving Tapas food in Bude South Cornwall, Isles of Scilly South West

It’s been a while since we visited The Bank. However it was Valentine’s Day and we did have a gift voucher. On arrival for our 7 pm booking we were told the table was not ready…not just us but two other couples had to wait. For me the atmosphere was very much like a fast food restaurant, staff rushing everywhere with food and very little focus on the customer. A feeling that turn around more important than quality service and customer care. We ordered both starter/nibbles and some main dishes. I would say the size of all dishes were Ample, however the quality of some of the dishes was lacking. Olives were bland and a little stale, bread, although fresh would have been nice if warm. Patatas bravas over fried and tasted burnt, the more you ate. chorizo and morcilla, although some pieces very tasty, some were again burnt, and the chicken and white wine , very very dry. Calamari very mediocre. However the meatballs, pardon peppers, mushroom dishes were good. The wine list offered a good choice and realistically priced. I appreciate it was a very busy service, however it would have been nice to have a little more attention from the waiters than a cursory, “everything alright” early on in the meal. We mentioned the issues when leaving, and we were advised we should have given the feedback earlier, but to be fair, it was a little difficult to get staff attention, and we were not interested in being given replacement dishes, as we were disappoint with the food overall. Despite being a regular customer in the past, I am sorry to say ,it is unlikely we will visit again.
