    The food is fine but I don’t think as good as it was. The menu changes are, for me personally, not so attractive. Service as normal was great but for me,as an example, I really enjoyed the chorizo and black pudding in a bowl, now it’s on a skewer and “watered down” with veggies. Cost saving? Is a burger Spanish? Whatever the filling, a burger is a burger! Sorry. Anyway, enjoyed the evening, thank you!

    Hi Dave, Many thanks for your recent visit, we are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your evening and the team looked after you well. Our Skewers are very popular and contain the same amount of meat per g as previous just served in a different way. The veggies are to add flavour however, if you would prefer on your next visit the dish served in the old style our chefs will be happy to accommodate this for you if possible to do so on the night :). Our sliders are a play on Spanish & Cornish ingredients with fillings and presentation, we find they are great for the little ones and adults alike. As always, we appreciate our guests feedback, if you would like to discuss anything further please do get in touch with us directly, we will be happy to listen. We hope to see you again soon!

    Lovely meal at the bank, probably the best we have had! Our server was also lovely, they have looked after us before and are perfect! One thing is the price of a coke was quite expensive- £5 for a pint! Other than that all was good, we will be back again.

    Great atmosphere and fabulous food as always. We dined in the large outside pod which was perfect for our party of six. It’s great that you can control your own heating. Service was excellent.
