Came here for Valentines. Had the tapas buffet. Great food freshly cooked, everything was good but the paella, fried pork, meatballs, chicken in creamy sauce and tacos amongst the standouts! Good music and great, friendly attention. We will be back!

Came here on a Wednesday night for dinner, there was a great offer for 2 course meal, so we got the croquettes, meatballs and garlic mushrooms which were absolutely delicious. For mains two of us had seafood paella and we asked for it in a big pan otherwise if you were to get it just for yourself they serve it on a plate, so I'm glad there was two of us having the paella 😁. Loved the vibe, the decor was lovely and it was so authentic. Really worth giving this place a try! I will definitely be back again.

I’ve been here twice now and both times had a really enjoyable evening. The staff are so friendly, welcoming and attentive. The all you can eat tapas is phenomenal value (and no time limit so you don’t feel rushed)! A really good selection of dishes, including some interesting fusion dishes where you can try different cuisine with a Spanish twist. The food was excellent and well sized portions to get a good taste of each dish but still have room to order more! We’ll definitely be back 👍

Very good price. Paid for the all you can eat and it was bang on. Came here on a date and we will definitely be back. The gentleman who was serving us was very attentive and funny. We even met the chef, Julio, who told us about his past in Spain. A lovely fellow. I will be happy knowing my money is being spent locally in the community and not to a chain branch! Thank you La Fonda for a memorable night.

1st visit yesterday, all you can eat for £20.99 and it didn't disappoint, the food was amazing! So much choice, spare ribs & chicken skewers especially delicious. Highly recommended and will definitely be going back. 5*

We've been here 3 times now and have enjoyed every visit. The all you can eat deal covers the entire menu, which is extensive. We have always arrived around 5pm on a weekend as we have young children, it's disappointing to see the lack of people in the restaurant as I know its a great place to take the family out friends for some "different" food. The only criticisms would be that a couple of the dishes served were borderline high in the salt content, but not enough enough to warrant a complaint. The staff were lovely with the table service but it would help if they were less forgetful. A few dishes were missed out, thankfully we were all far too full in our bellies to complain, although we did tell the staff to which they were apologetic. But hey, it is all you can eat, we could've ordered for the sake of it!! 🤣

Highly recommend! Such a friendly welcome and great service, offering recommendations on the many tasty dishes available (Menu available on their website!). When bringing our orders or clearing the table, the team were always keen for us to explore more of the menu, which really makes it an enjoyable and fun experience. The buffet style menu/ordering is great value and efficiently served, either as individual or sharing portions. This was my second visit with a friend on a quiet Monday evening, having previous visited with a larger group of colleagues on a busy weekend (including Spanish friends, they gave it the thumbs up too!), I look forward to a third visit in the near future!

L. H.

The food was incredible, especially the seafood paella which was better than any I’d had before, including from Spain. The all you can eat deal was too good to miss as well and the service was exceptional. 10/10 recommend.

I had my first dining experience here a couple of weeks ago as a few of my friends wanted to have one last meal together before they went back home to the US. We called in advance and made a booking for 6 people and were told to come at 8:30. We arrived at 8:30 and the place was absolutely packed. It was very cold and raining outside at the time so you can imagine we were very eager to be seated. The gentleman who I assume was the manager/owner came out and said there'd been a double booking and he didn't realise there was 6 of us and asked us to wait patiently. Meanwhile, another couple barged past us and entered and got themselves a table straight away. Thankfully, shortly after, our table was ready and we were seated. I understand these things happen and it was a busy night for them so I don't imagine this happens often and the staff were apologetic about this. Once seated, we were given menus and drinks and after about 10 mins we placed our orders. I've never had Tapas before so this was a nice first experience for me. For £20.99 we could choose from any of the many options on the menu to eat and could order more as and when we pleased. The waitress kindly advised that most tables order 3 dishes at a time to reduce food waste and to have a steady flowing dining experience. We ordered quite a few dishes as there was 6 of us and we were rather hungry and then the wait began. The food did take an awfully long time to come out however I don't believe this is a regular occurrence. This was one of their busiest nights and the staff were constantly rushed off their feet serving customers and ensuring everyone was having a good time and given the size of the business and that they had 3 people working the tables, I can't blame them for taking a while with bringing food out. The food came to the table and I would say it was worth the wait. The majority of it was delicious and the portion sizes were just enough to keep you wanting to try more items. I was a big fan of the chicken Skewers, the chicken fajitas and the sirloin steak with potatoes. For me I enjoyed the steak the most. It came to the table on a cast iron dish still sizzling and piping hot from being cooked with butter and it was very juicy and tender. Unfortunately some of the menu items we ordered never came to the table but again I can only put this down to them being overwhelmingly busy and I don't imagine this is a normal practice for them. Overall, the food, service and atmosphere was great. This was a very very small restaurant offering a lot for its diners and I can tell the people who work here are passionate about delivering a good dining experience for their customers. If they reduced the menu a bit and had more staff they would be much better equipped to handle really busy nights. Overall, still had a great time, enjoyed the food and it was a nice local place to go for a meal with my friends.

Fantastic value and lovely friendly staff, the food was delicious and varied. Highly recommended for dinner if you're anywhere nearby, there is parking behind the parade but it is busy so check for alternative parking locations. Definitely will be back in the future.

Amazing Spanish restaurant. Delicious food specially paella! Lovely staff who are always smiling and talking with you. We recommend 100% the buffet. Our big shout goes to Julio- manager and professional chef! Muchas gracias! We will definitely return back soon! :)

G. H.

Staff are amazing, food is exceptional and extremely good value for money ! Highly recommend, even if you aren’t most keen on Spanish tapas specifically, there are tapas dishes of other cuisines to suit everyone. Look forward to my next meal there to try more dishes.

Me and my husband ate here this evening and thought it was lovely. £20.99 per person for all you can eat tapas. The menu selection is vast and the dishes taste really nice.

P. R.

Very good evening out. Nice food and reasonable prices. House red wine was excellent.

C. H.

The staff were lovely and they did have some a lot of dishes for a vegan. But it is far from authentic tapas, I had vegetable fried rice and sautéed vegetables which were cooked in soy sauce and seemed to be aiming for a Chinese flavour. More like the sort of place you would find on holiday if you weren’t that bothered.

F. S.

Great food and service. Really enjoyed my time here will come again with my family and friends.

P. B.

Excellent value, tasty traditional food. Delicious house tempranillo.

G. C.

it is very worth it. Highly recommended 👌

H. R.

I tend to have paella here which is great, but now want to mention the pizzas. Had four different ones to takeaway and each were thin crispy, with quality toppings and tasted great! Highly recommended.

P. S.

Friendly staff, delicious authentic Spanish food. Sangria was great too. We tried a selection of the tapas and they were all fantastic. Only thing i'll mention is the music was a little loud, people who are hard of hearing may struggle a little if near the speakers.

M. T.

Always a good meal, staff are friendly and a good choice of lovely tapas

L. T.

Lovely lady serving and delicious tapas dishes, especially the garlic mushrooms! Yum! Not too keen on the vegetable pizza, expected peppers, onions, mushrooms etc but had random veg on.
