    Especially as a lot of Tapas meals are fish based

    To be fair its not a really bad report and hopefully they will take the advice and improve perhaps this may explain the issues with the wine as they need the cash for the improvements.

    If you google them there is directory site where people put on reviews, have a read of them. One I'm confident is genuine but check the rest of the revie mostly entered by people who had just joined the directory to give that review. If they have done than and they are connected with the restaurant the government just recently brought a law out to stop businesses doing exactly that...
  • from what I gather this place is really popular and probably busier than a lot of others in West Wickham, I feel it's just greed if they want loyal customers they should not be trying to con them.

    The food is good.

    Have a read of the reviews, I particularylu like Leo M and Mark A's reviews, I have never known someone write those types of reviews before. It's an amazing coincidence that they both got undercharged and stumbled on that review site and wrote reviews.

    Like I said IF they are not real people and are connected to the restaurant it would now be illegal for this to be done...

    Food, staff and location. Read about abv link and I can say that we were a group of 10 and they forgot to charge us for 2 bottles (£32). of course we told them and they gave told us that it was on the house being a mistake

    I can't believe what I've read about being over charged. I was actually under charged here, mentioned it to the owner and he said "pay me next time". It's very relaxed, the food is superb and I would recommend to anyone. I don't believe the owner here would deliberately over charge anyone, he's trying to establish the business and appears to go out of his way to make the customers feel most welcome.

    Dont there stories strangely match. Maybe all us MSE should wright a quick review :money:
