    Fantastic. Right in the heart of The Custard Factory. Food was great, came out quickly, and at a decent pace. We'd finish one plate, and then another would be brought out ready. The menu recommends 4 plates per person, but we shared 3 each, and were full! The Pork Cheeks and The Scallops were personal favourites of ours.

    Food was amazing and such good value. Staff were lovely and attentive too. Great find. The only downside was that it was a Saturday night and by 9pm we were the last people there so we were presented with our bill when we really wanted to carry on chatting. They were happy for us to stay but we felt we needed to leave as they were cashing up etc. But a wonderful find!

    Food was mediocre. Not enough flavour. Wait staff were lovely, although we were served soup without a spoon. 🫤

    The food, the service, the atmosphere - 10/10 I usually avoid tapas and find it ridiculously expensive but this was such high quality food. Would come back here again and bring more friends :) The staff were extremely friendly and made our experience all the more special.
