   I love this place, having been coming for 20 years I’m glad it’s still running like it used too. Dishes are slightly different but we still enjoyed them .. Can the garlic prawns sauce be more runny like it used to be not thick? Staff were very attentive thank you

   I love going to La Mancha, the atmosphere is good, the staff are welcoming and friendly and usually the food is delicious. Not so much though last night, the Spanish Omelette tasted shop bought, the garlic bread was hard and difficult to eat and not all our dishes came out. However the waitress very quickly removed these from the bill. Maybe it was just a one off because it's usually amazing.

   My partner and I wanted a nice Tapas place to have date night, she'd been here before some years ago and said it was amazing. Upon arrival, we had to wait 5 minutes to be seen and then seated. The menu ordering system is decent and easy to understand, I just wish there were pictures of the food, as some dishes came a little different than you'd expect. The menu also states if it's busy, you could be waiting up to an hour which I'm more than happy with as you'd then expect a high quality good tasting meal... right? Nope, wrong. It all came bland as hell and obviously rushed. The staff were so busy that a number of times I had to politely insist they attend to us as we were waiting so long. Learning that the owner changed hands does make a lot of sense. Understaffed and poor quality food just rings of a new owner trying to make ends meet and squeeze some profits. Riding on the previous owner's reputations only works for so long. If the food was about half the price, I would have been perfectly happy with the whole experience but they've set the scene for an authentic, above average experience and grossly under delivered. All in all the whole experience was poor enough that you wouldn't have me revisiting.

    Seated quickly and drinks brought while deciding what to order. Tick box ordering system clear and easy to use. Would have been useful to be made aware by serving staff that food was cooked fresh to order so we would be waiting a while. We k ew this but useful for new customers. Food delicious as always! Few updates to the menu due to new owners. Feedback requested by servers and provided. Would definitely go again!
