    Love the venue! Received a very warm welcome which is always a great start. A superb choice of dishes, fish, meat, vegetarian, gluten free options. We chose a mixed selection of 10 dishes between 4 of us, with artisan bread and anchovy skewers. Great selection of wine & beers. Service was perfect and our waiter & waitress were very pleasant. Another great night at El Cerde Bourne End. Thanks!

    A fantastic dining experience. Cocktails were great to start and if a cocktail not on the list, was not a problem it was made for us. Food was great and 3 dishes each just right and great value. I was hesitant to try after it re opened 2yrs ago as a few negative views of local people, but after a recent positive, thought time to give it a go and I’ve missed out and a bit of catching up to do now…. Staff were excellent and not a negative I can think of. I am not associated with El Cerdo and this is a heart felt review where credit is due for others to try and enjoy quality dining out experience. Will try the Sunday next with the live music and view across the marina…. A great birthday celebration for my daughter’s birthday. Well done El Cerdo and keep it up
