    Weird but excellent mix of Greek, Spanish and Italian cuisines. Super extensive menu and all-right wine. Delicious Greek lemon soup with salmon.

    I like the upstairs restaurant - modern European cuisine at a very reasonable price. It has a gentle quiet ambience quite different from the downstairs bar which gets very noisy when crowded.

    I liked it he young after work crowd that it has on a Thursday or Friday. The selection of beer is good as well

    If you have the menu, and you are hungry, ordering 30 minutes before arrival may help you get your meal when you want it. 45 minutes after ordering appears to be the norm, so plan accordingly.

    Good Sunday roasts, but a big spread of their great tapas is more fun on a sunny day.

    Good selection of ales. As others have said, noisy when busy but you're not in the pub for an intimate conversation are you?

    Worth trying out the lunch - a bit different (in a good way) to your normal tapas fare

    Manchego spring rolls are great. Erdinger on tap as well. Great gastro pub.

    Good tapas, serve Mahou draft. Different to standard generic pubs in area

    Great tapa's, shame they don't make a note of who ordered it. Had to get someone to pass my dishes from one end of the table to the other. Music too loud meant people had to shout

    Check your pint before leaving the bar. Even after showing them the remnants from the glass wash they didn't sort it out...

    Don't have the butternut squash. Mine was stone cold inside and hot on the outside.

    There's a beer garden in the back and they allow reservations.

    Try the cheese board. Or the roast beef on crusty bread from behind the bar. Best £1 you'll ever spend.

    Do not order vegetable tapas here, unless you like your veggies cold. And I'm not talking salads here either. Avoid at all costs!
