About this space

A long-established Spanish restaurant defined by an informal, neighbourhood tapas-bar character and a traditional Iberian dining style.

Design: The interior has dark-wood panelling, framed Spanish prints and low, warm lighting that gives the room a compact, intimate feel. The layout combines banquette seating and small tables beneath a black-painted ceiling grid and an open frontage that admits natural light.

Features: Facilities include Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, a PA system with speakers and the option to play your own music. The venue also provides outdoor seating and a step‑free guest entrance for accessible arrival.

Ideal for: Groups seeking relaxed, sociable seated dinners or informal standing receptions in a compact, characterful dining room.

What sets it apart: An extensive menu of around fifty traditional Spanish tapas dishes paired with a curated selection of Iberian wines.

What guests say: The venue delivers warm, attentive, personal service and a lively, welcoming atmosphere.

Host rules

Please note that we do not offer corkage, however we are happy to source alternative cavas/champagnes/similar with our excellent wine supplier.
We welcome birthday cakes but due to health & safety they do have to be shop bought and not home-made; we cannot store items which need to be refrigerated for smaller bookings. Please inform us in advance of anything you'd like to bring and we'll be happy to advise!
