Brilliant find. Yet another underestimated place, Saturday evening and only a few others in here. Ordered Nachos, Corn ribs and Croquettas, all absolutely delicious. Fresh ingredients, cooked to order and served hot! The parmesan aioli is genius! Great beer selection and a nice indie feel to the place. Service quick and friendly, good advice on drinks selection and reasonably priced. Definitely back when we come up for the football over the season! Well done!!
Booked before going to a gig at the area. Great drinks selection with a variety of beers & cocktails on offer. Unusual queue system with unnecessarily long wait times at the bar and as we were sat by the window it seemed exceptionally cold. Waited 40 minutes for food with only 2 tables ahead of us. The staff didn’t seem prepared for the rush and only one member of staff in the kitchen didn’t seem to be able to cope with the demand. Food was incredible when it arrived although could have done with better presentation. Management need to ensure event days are well staffed as they lost many potential customers due to queues and long wait times that the staff had to suffer the brunt of
Thoroughly disappointing, despite being quiet there was a 20+ minute for a single cocktail & when I finally got my drink it was only about 2/3 full, certainly doesn't warrant the £10 price! Food took close to 40 minutes to arrive, the tacos were utter garbage, the tortillas were dry & tough with multiple fatty pieces of meat. Shocked to see this place somehow maintains a 4 star rating!
Fab little gem of a place. The service is great. The food is literally cooked to order by Drew who literally works his backside off to prepare delicious dishes. Can recommend the Alhambra beer too! Definitely book a table as it gets busy at tea time.
