This is one of my favourite places to each Spanish Tapas.. I did notice that the menu had changed, less options but it wasn't an issue, still a lot of my favourite dishes. The staff here are very efficient, pleasant and knowledgeable and I love the food. The only other difference was that all our dishes came together, in the past they came as and when they were ready in typical tapas style. None of this detracted from our experience, we had a great time. The restaurant always has a great buzz about it, I look forward to visiting soon

Tucked away but what a find. the staff were amazing, friendly and so helpful when choosing dishes - ALL of which were amazing... The wine was also exactly what you'd expect it do be and slipped down easily to compliment the food. The atmosphere was just right with tables laughing and the noise level was just right. Highly recommend this place and will certainly come back for more.

I was looking for a midweek after work spot to catch up with a friend. Lola’s didn’t disappoint! We got a selection of classic tapas dishes (chorizo, prawns, ham croquettes, etc) and a bottle of wine. Everything was delicious and was super reasonably priced too. A table next to us shared a paella which looked delicious — I’d try this on my next visit! Highly recommend.
