    The food was good but the offer stated price person for 2 starters two mains and one dessert BUT that wasnt the case as these were to share per couple .Really poor value given we could have ordered off main menu for much less .Such a shame as the quality of food was good The manager got 100% for all her efforts and her offer of reducing the price but it really spoilt what should have been a romantic Valentines experience

    This place had been highly recommended by family as a great dining experience. We were very disappointed in the value, quality and delivery of the food. We thought it was very over priced and the standard was very average. After we had complained about the one dish that was just too salty to eat, we had to wait 15 minutes for the next course and a further 10 minutes for the last course. We were under the impression that tapas dishes should more or less arrive simultaneously so you can enjoy the side / main dishes together. The staff weren't that bothered that we were unhappy. Will not return in a hurry

    Unfortunately we got charged for a bottle of wine instead of a glass and we didn’t realise until the next day but otherwise we had a great time thanks

Our Area Manager, Aly, has been trying to contact you over this past week to discuss and rectify the situation, but has had no luck getting through. Please could you check your private messages for contact details to reach out to Aly directly, so that he can assist on this situation. We hope to see you again soon, El Cerdo Team

    Excellent evening, good food and great service. Would recommend to anyone who loves tapas to give it a try. Also, a nice touch was my son being presented with a dessert with a candle on as the waiting staff overheard us wishing him a happy birthday. Great experience

    It was our first visit to El Cerdo. It was quiet on the afternoon we visited probably because it was just after the New Year. We really enjoyed the food which was tasty and authentic
