“Delicious tapas with a view of the River Thames” from “a large open terrace” is going down a storm at the instantly popular, new Richmond branch of the well-known chain (occupying the prominent site that was formerly Jackson & Rye, RIP). Backed by the firm of wholesalers of the same name, the group has steadily grown from its Borough Market origins over the last 10 years, and fans feel “it’s exactly what you would expect from a place run by Spanish produce importers”. On the downside, though, there is a school of thought that “while the food’s done decently, it’s serviceable but unexciting”.

Providing “tasty tapas on the well-trodden path between South Ken tube and the museums” means the well-known Spanish food importers can hardly go wrong with this “cheap and cheerful” fixture. There’s plenty of pavement seating to go with the “friendly staff and a really nice tapas menu with all the faves” – plus “great Spanish wines”.

* Based on a three course dinner, half a bottle of wine, coffee, cover charge, service and VAT.

Acres of pavement seating are the most eye-catching feature of this “buzzing” operation (run by the well-known Spanish food importers), which sits on the ant-trail between South Kensington tube station and the museums (go on a sunny day). It’s “reliably enjoyable” for a “cheap ’n’ cheerful” meal as the dishes are reliably good, but it’s mostly chosen for its convenience rather than its foodie potential.

"Service was abysmal , our drinks turned up 10 min after our food after asking for them twice, part of the food (which was frankly average) order turned up 15min after the rest yet again after begging for it and the person who dealt with our bill (bald man ) was incredibly rude , uttering « I’m not a which, calculate it yourself » when asked to pay the balance on ONE card because the rest was cash . Expensive , bad service, meh food . Go somewhere else"

"Very nice tapas, cheerful service, the South Kensington branch is a particularly useful pit stop for the museums"
