    Excellent evening, good food and great service. Would recommend to anyone who loves tapas to give it a try. Also, a nice touch was my son being presented with a dessert with a candle on as the waiting staff overheard us wishing him a happy birthday. Great experience

    It was our first visit to El Cerdo. It was quiet on the afternoon we visited probably because it was just after the New Year. We really enjoyed the food which was tasty and authentic

    I have given 3 stars for service as we had to put a deposit down to book the table but we had to wait 15 mins for our table at the bar. They should have taken off the service charge of 20.00. Good food as always though prices are inflated.
