M. D.

We didn’t have a reservation but the team were so accommodating and quickly found us a table. The restaurant felt very relaxed, and we had a delicious feast of tapas! We can’t wait to come back and try one of their paellas

M. A.

Excellent food, excellent service, what a pleasant young man Luis we had serving us. Will Definitely go back 😄

B. N.

Under the previous owners this place was 5*, the new owners have kept the quality original and expanded. Great food, helpful staff, nice wine selection and good atmosphere.

J. J.

Fantastic little local tapas which I would highly recommend going to. AmaZing tasty selection of food and very filling! Great wine too!

N. S.

I was lucky enough to have my wedding reception dinner here. Super food, lovely and easy going owner, tremendous staff. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

E. P.

Food pretty good but beware, the portions are enormous! Not tapas sized, one dish is enough.

R. S.

Lovely food, recommend the prawns! Great service. We had a lovely time with our 5 year old girl.

k.

Food is pretty good and we enjoy the meal. However felt that service constantly put pressure on us to eat fast because food came and table had no space.

J. D.

I do like the authentic feel about it and the food is great, good choice of wine and sherries, perfect for tapas at lunch or early/late evening.

K. M.

Great food in a very relaxing atmosphere. Good vegan selection. Will definitely return!

M. B.

This place is my favourite restaurant by far the food is excellent and they have a selection of great wines defo be taking more visits with friends and family

N.

Great service! All the food came at the perfect time and the portions were well balanced (amount/price). The vegan paella was lacking some flavor though

V. C.

Clean and quite tapas restaurant. Nice staff and decent food. We've got different tapas and shared a paella. Everything was good.

T. L.

Simple authentic tapas & Spanish food. Nested in a little pocket of small great shops 👌

D. M.

Great tapas restaurant in the heart of Walthamstow village. Nearly all the dishes I've tried there are wonderful, and the portions are good. So go hungry.

H. M.

Nice restaurant with authentic tasting tapas. Good service which is friendly and prompt. Pleasant interior.

P. S.

Excellent tapas tastes great. service a little slow but polite and friendly. Would definitely be going back

B. G.

Lovely food, nice atmosphere, friendly staff and the joy of sitting outside drinking wine in the evening. Perfect.

J. E.

Lovely place, food atmosphere, friendly staff. And recently the tapas has improved almost to what it was when the restaurant first opened - almost.

E. W.

A. 8.

Stuff friendly and very kind. Food very nice from mixed fried started to prawns. Spanish place so need to go for eat paella portion good size very tasty, cause my Italian background and risotto lovers for me looks like a bit overcooked and dry however I cannot make any comparison with other paella. Definitely I enjoyed it and I'll back.

C. W.

Staff very pleasant and extremely hospitable. Not to mention it has a nice intimate setting about it whether dining for two or more.

E. M.

Unfortunately not as good as it used to be. Slow service, cramped tables. Food is still generally very good but menu could do with a refresh.

T. O.

Yeah yeah this place is popping. Menu is perfect. Execution on point. 5 stars and I haven’t even checked the bill

J. H.

Great atmosphere, quality produce, largely Spanish staff, excellent location. Can get a bit noisy when very busy but a small caveat.

a. n.

Fantastic food in a great location. Staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is nice and relaxed. Strongly recommended

S. M.

Tapas is OK not amazing, staff are a bit casual but the vibe and atmosphere is lovely.

O. D.

Was OK. Glad we went on a half price night. Food quality and slow service isn't worth the full price.

R. D. S.

Wonderfull rich Spanish wine and cheese in a village picturesque setting.

s. b.

Food wasn't the freshest, tasted like it was straight out of the microwave, and expensive. Desert was good though

M. B.

Unfortunately the chef had changed and the food wasn't as good as before. Tortilla dry and tasteless,ham dry. Hopefully it's just a one off!

D. S.

I'll keep this short, food was good but vastly over priced, and the service was absolutely terrible.

M. D.

Lovely local place for a cosy dinner out. Our favourites were the ham croquettes and artichokes. Almond cake was also a winner!

I just went for coffee and cake. Staff were lovely, atmosphere was nice. Will go again.

C. W.

Fine tapas in the heart of the Village. A great spot to unwind, catch up with friends, and soak up the atmosphere

J. P.

Great dining experience. We have received our food and drinks in a timely fashion. Service was friendly and flexible. The white cava that was brought to our table met the expectations and so did the dishes ordered. My advice: book in advance as it gets busy on Saturday evenings.

K. S.

Great selection of food and lovely atmosphere.

S. M.

Just went for a coffee and piece of cake but it seemed lively and very authentic

M. R.

OK coffee. The meat and cheese sandwiches are a must, and great for a quick take away lunch.

Always good quality tapas and the white sangria is very good too.

Awesome service and the food's not too shabby either.

H. R.

A lovely restaurant in the middle of quaint Walthamstow village. Went here with friends for lunch in the week. Had a set menu of bread, 2 tapas and a glass of very good wine for £13.95. We all chose 2 different tapas which made a very filling lunch.

P. G.

Service a bit haphazard, but excellent food, and friendly staff.

J. O.

Excellent. We went with a party of 12 and everyone loved it.

L. C.

Menu not many choices, but the seafood nice and fresh.

B. D.

Went in yesterday. The place looked clean, the atmosphere was calm and pleasant, the food was of outstanding quality and although we got a new waiter who was on his 1st day, fairly young and did not have a clue about drinks, he managed to do it well enough. We even saw a birthday party! It's a good place for family dinners and the occasional drinking with friends.

A. J.

Nice 👍 staff friendly and helpful. Food was tasty 😋

L. P.

Yamiiii Best Food Nice place , nice staff

N. R.

Nice and cosy place to spend time with friends and family.

J. C.

Nothing special, just very average tapas.

J. D.

Noisy, but great food;

P. H.

Like Eat 17, this place was one of the early pioneers around the village. The interior and deli counter are really nice. Simple but with a good selection of Spanish products. The sit down menus are fairly standard, but the (Spanish) chef who cooks them uses decent produce and excutes the dishes well. the Paella is very authentic. I love seafood and the prawns and squid in batter are great. I take my children hear on a regular basis and they love the food also.....which is great as they are fussy eaters! 😉. I would highly recommend.

f. h.

Good quality food and friendly service.

Great food and atmos!

j. r.

Been here a few times and love it !

c. s.

Been here several times. Atmosphere: good when it’s busy. The wine list is good and the house red typically delivers. The food is 4/5 for me with some dishes being hit and miss eg: patatas bravas aren’t crispy enough for me but the chorizo, prawns and grilled chicken are spot on. Service also hit and miss. Last night The waitress was ace. Overall a good local. Put on Spanish music to make it more authentic and a better ambience and mix up the menu sometimes and it’s get 5*

J. D.

Good quality food and service

I passed a great dinner in Orford Saloon, all food was excellent and atmosphere put you in comfy! I'll be back for Sure

R.

(Translated) Fantastic Spanish venue. The food was all tasty and very well cooked: from lamb to potatoes with mayonnaise and paprika, from octopus with potatoes to meatballs with meat sauce. All washed down with a glass of good cold beer. Prices a little below average. Friendly staff. As soon as I'm back in London I will definitely be back! (Original) Locale spagnolo fantastico. Il cibo è stato tutto gustoso e cucinato benissimo: dall'agnello alle patate con maionese e paprika, dal polipo con patate alle polpettine di carne al ragù. Tutto innaffiato da un bicchierone di buona birra fredda. Prezzi un pochino al di sotto della media. Personale gentile. Appena di nuovo a Londra ci ritornerò sicuramente!

L. K.

Great tapas: fresh, tasty food. Generous portions in comparison to other tapas places. Great service. Lovely outdoor spaces.

Y.

Nice eatary in this area, as tapas, I feel it's satisfied portion compare to others.

A. P.

Food excellent. Good sized tapas dishes and very tasty. 4 out of 5 because not cheap and at these prices I thought the waiter took the cool, moody attitude a bit far. We're there for a relaxed meal not wondering whether we upset the staff (which we didn't).

B. B.

We've been here twice - we love tapas so we're excited to try (my family live in Spain so we know tapas!) and it's local so it's convenient. Our first experience was just for drinks but it took them 20 to take our order and we were the only customers in there! Additionally they were having a management meeting and so we spent our entire time there listening to the inside scoop on the business which wasn't the most relaxing! We weren't going to go again but wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt. It was pretty busy but we got a table and got drinks and food ordered. We ordered 5 tapas dishes - 3 of which arrived after 30 minutes. The other two never arrived, and we asked about them - when we asked the waitress, she didn't even ask the kitchen just told us they'd arrive! After asking another member of staff a second time 20 minutes later, the final 2 dishes (just bread and calamari) arrived but it'd over an hour and 15 mins since we ordered. It was pretty nice but it was SO drenched in garlic, it was hard to taste anything else!!

M. K.

Very nice interior and friendly staff. Food is unfortunately mediocre. I've eaten here three times and I always left the place thinking why it didn't taste better. The food lacks flavour and I suspect this is due to the lower quality of the ingredients used. I lived in Spain so maybe my standardas are too high, hard to say, but I do avoid this place now.

Z. O.

Vegetable paella was lovely (the seafood one less so) but starters left a little to be desired (spinach was bland, beans were undercooked and potatoes with tomato sauce was fine). Waiters were friendly when we got their attention and the food is decent value in a group, unfortunately the waiting time is far too long!

P. S.

Had a small glass of very good wine, fantastic service!

A.

Always amazing. The aubergine with honey is truly excellent, and for dessert take the manchego with a glass of Pedro ximinez and you won't be disappointed. The waiters are lovely and very handsome too!

S. G.

Beautiful food . Tucked down a little street.. You would never know you were in Walthamstow

L. B.

Lovely terrace out the back and good food. Bit on the pricey side. Staff are lovely and the wine was on point.

R. M.

I have always been so impressed by this restaurant. We are always well looked after by the staff and attended to quickly. The food is absolutely fantastic! The flavours are amazing. It's really high-quality stuff. What's more, the pricing is a lot lower than what you would expect for an experience of this standard. Well done, keep at it ;)

N. S.

We had such a great time. Fresh ingredients, generous portions and friendly, relaxed hosts. The food came out quickly and was the best tapas I’ve had in a long time. Excellent - heartily recommend for any occasion.

J.

The best Spanish restaurant in London!!! 10/10

S. d. L.

Came here with a friend, it was wet and cold despite being in June. They were full but seated us outside under a heater. We ordered 6 small plates and a bottle of rioja. The waitress warned us the kitchen was busy but our first dish came out quickly and then they just kept coming! A lot of what I like about this place is the location. Walthamstow village is really nice and peaceful. But the food and service where good and I would definitely go again.

K. W.

Superb food, attentive staff. We'll definitely come back.

E. H.

Orford Saloon is amazing! The food is fantastic and it's well priced. Especially liked how they had vegetarian dishes entirely separate so it was all in one place. Will definitely be back!

F. T.

love the tapas, the chef has been there for many years and when you have a chef who loves the food he makes you can really taste the difference. Had a range of tapas but the dish that stood out for me was the pork chop in white wine sauce as the pork was tender and succulent. Somewhat on the salty side but having been to Spain it seems to be the way they like it there. Gets very busy on Friday night so make,sure you book !

O. P.

Recently had tapas here - every dish as good as the others. Can’t recommend it enough. The little room out the back is lovely and the staff are really friendly and knowledgable on the dishes and wine.

O. J.

Food was delicious and seafood especially cooked to perfection. Price-wise, we paid £95 for 3 people: a lot of bread, 8 filling tapas (one takeaway as we were full), a carafe of Port, a large lager and sparkling water.

S. D.

Lovely food, but they need to keep the price of the wine reasonable. £7.50 for a 175mil glass of house red is far too expensive for Waltham Forest

b. m.

We regularly visit for the fantastic selection of Spanish wines and great chorizo and jamon in the deli. The tapas are excellent though not inexpensive, and the coffee and bocadillos are also really good. Service is attentive and friendly. Nothing to fault at all except that, as a yorkshireman, I'd happily spend less...

V. R.

Always a delight to eat here. The tapas are exquisite, and the garlic bread is delicious. Next time will have to leave space for dessert. The waiting staff are pleasant and helpful.

m. G.

Great tapas and sangria! Prawns were delicious and the decor is super cool too. The outdoor space is lovely in summer months too!

A. P.

Never disappoints - specially the octopus, a must everytime we come here!!!! Great tapas and nice service! (The only down point is the lavatory location - in the middle of the two main dining areas.)

A. B.

This is a very good tapas place. Some of the dishes tend towards a British interpretation of tapas, but the quality is really high, and the prices are very reasonable. A pint at The Nags and a meal here is a good Village evening out.

E. A.

I went here with my partner before and thought it was fantastic so we went back for my birthday. I love the building, it definitely feels very cosy and the waiting staff were great, very accommodating. The wine was nice too. However, the food just wasn’t of the same standard as the last time we went - I don’t know if the kitchen staff has changed or maybe things just arrived in the wrong order but I was a little disappointed since we found it delicious the previous time. Specifically, the bravas were large and had a reheated potato taste, and the omelette was very solid and tasted reheated too. I almost always love calamari, but they were big rubbery rings we couldn’t even eat. The prawns were pretty good and we liked the bread, olives and alioli, and the Iberico ham with salted almonds.

N. N.

The food was nice, and there was a very friendly Spanish waitress who brought our little dog some iced water but sadly at the end we had to ask 3 times for the bill and waited a good 30min for a grumpy waitress who was still chatting to her friend at the table next to us whilst taking out payment. Not great. That was a bit disappointing service wise but nice place and good food.

C. P.

This place is sometimes really good, and sometimes underwhelming. I have had more better experiences than bad experiences, so I keep going. So 4 stars just because the food standards aren't always consistent (same dish one two different occasions tasted significantly different) (Especially on NY's Day) Always great staff!

J. H.

Went here Saturday night with a friend, we both loved the food, absolutely amazing!!! The best tapas I've ever had!! Thank you.

H. G.

The food at the Orford Saloon is always beautiful. I am veggie and there is loads of choice. It is well made and reasonably priced. There is also an excellent wine/drinks menu. The service is a little patchy,Excellent food, all very tasty and tapas-sy: mussels, fried eggplant, chicken and pork skewers, seafood and chlcken paella -- the list goes on and on. And on!! Pick a dish each, relish it,

S. R.

Always a lovely meal and atmosphere! However-- while waiting in the deli area for our table I watched the lady assemble someone's cheese and cold meats on the plate with her hands. No gloves no utensils used. Not very hygenic. Was greatly disappointed to see that. Food hygiene training needed I think. Sorry.

D. L.

Don’t usually spend much time in Walthamstow but we came here for dinner before a comedy show at Mirth, Marvel, and Maud. Garlic bread a little disappointing. However the rest of the food was delicious. We also really liked the little pedestrianised street that this restaurant is in. Reasonable prices, nice stuff, and would recommend if you’re in the area.

v. v.

We love this place. Foot is always great. The people working there are very friendly. Is great they have insite and outsite sitting. The only suggestion we can propose is the reservation slots for dinner to be change is hard to get table at those slots if you are at work. But overall this place brings me back to lovely trips in Spain.

G. G.

If you like Spanish tapas restaurants this is a lovely place located in Walthamstow village. The dishes are delicious and the wine selection is good. As a suggestion "fried aubergines" is a must. And after all it is not very expensive.

s. s.

It was nice...but £85 for two with 7 dishes and a bottle of wine was probably too steep for the overall experience. Nothing really stood out, the calamari was like from a chippy.

L. V.

Great tapas restaurant. All the dishes I've had have been very tasty and the service is welcoming. Can't compare it to tapas as available in Spain as I've never been but I can't believe it's much better there.

T. E.

It's a nice space that opens up as you walk in and unravels into the restaurant area. As an all day place (at weekends when we went) the ambiance ebbs and flows. It's a good mix of young families and friends enjoying a long lunch. The tapas feels safe and fairly limited for the adventurous. Quality is fine, but nothing really stood out and price is just about on the reasonable side. The drinks and wine list arguably have more talking points than the food. Service is easy going and as attentive as you would want / expect. If they upped their game and had a handful of really stand out dishes to supplement the more run of the mill tapas, and perhaps took a few chances with some more edgy plates I would come back time and again. As it stands it's pretty standard tapas, at ok prices with ok service and a decent wine list.

G. R.

Nice food for a reasonable price. Good service and quite a lot of different type of wines. It's worth it. The only thing you might not like is because the restaurant is splitted in two parts, and I think that when it's really busy you will be on the part that is not as nice as the other one, or maybe if you are calling to book I think you'd better to specify it.

a. v. d. e.

Quality, authentic tapas and bustling atmosphere evenings and weekend lunchtimes. The food is a lot less greasy than some Spanish places and their menu is extensive. Try the lentils with chorizo and garlic mushrooms, yum. Good wine list.

C. M.

Quite pricey tapas bar with tasteful dishes. Chorizo and artichokes were our favourite ones!

j. m.

Amaizing food and lovely staff only thing that let the meal down was they refused cash as payment, some self employed people only get payed in cash and I felt this was very rude, otherwise wise would have been 5 stars 🌟

l. s.

Delicious food but very strange service. Every time we enter there, the person at the first counter asks "do you have a reservation?" quite loudly, then you are directed to the next dining space where another waitron asks the same question. Then when you say No, no reservation, you are directed to the next dining area where they ask the same question loudly..... all the while the restaurant is completely empty and stays empty throughout our meal. 10 minutes of milling around answering the same question every single time. Slightly odd and chaotic.

R. H.

It was great to be back at the Orford Saloon, one of my favourite places and just as authentic and friendly as ever. The food is gorgeous and a really interesting drinks menu too.

F. L.

Good Tapas place in the village, quiet on a Sunday before brunch which was nice to go on a celebratory date with my boyfriend. The food is good, maybe a bit pricey but the service was good and fast! They have a good menu and a shop right next door. I’ll definitely come back!

C. S.

I re-visited this restaurant last night after not eating there for several years. We had a wonderful meal with an array of delicious dishes, great wine and friendly efficient service. Highlights include the fried white fish, spinach with pine nuts and the duck from the specials menu. Highly recommended.

K. J.

The quality of food, restaurant and general surroundings, make this a five star experience. Walthamstow's Village is already a hit, attracting folks from all over London. The Village has selective tastes, allowing only the best shops, pubs and restaurants to install themselves there. This restaurant fits perfectly with its upmarket surroundings. The food is delicious and, if you eat slowly enough, then it's likely that you won't break the bank, although this is certainly an occasional restaurant kind of treat, not an everyday experience.

T. H.

The chorizo was next level 😍 super quick service and delicious wine/tapas all round.

P. C.

Four of us had dinner there tonight. Whilst the food was fine this was some of the worst service I have ever experienced. There was plenty of staff however the lack of attention, interest and courtesy was staggering. All four of us would be reluctant to return for this reason.

E. R.

Buzzy and friendly atmosphere, good portions, nice wine selection and reasonably priced. Food is a little heavy at times but generally very good.

Nestled in the Walthamstow village this tapas bar come delicatessen offers nice food at reasonable prices. Some of the dishes are less than authentic however all of the ones we had were tasty. I recommend the peppers!

Lovely atmosphere and staff. Tapas were great and generous portions. Super recommend and can't wait to go back for paella next time.

C. S.

Large portions of very tasty, reasonably authentic tapas and a good sherry selection - however, way too much salt for me. Two pleasant meals here have each left me gulping down water for a couple days after!

Great Spanish food in the depths of Walthamstow.....we had calamiri anchovies an olives to start....seafood paella for the main washed down with a bottle of campo Flores...highly recommended....been back more than once!...

Good food, quite authentic. London prices, but not unreasonable and that's to be expected given the location and the amount of effort they put in. Much nicer sitting on the street since it was semi-pedestrianised. Best tapas I've had in the area. Put moscatel and tocino de cielo on the menu and I will give you five stars. Oh and chicharrones!

This is a really amazing tapas restaurant in Walthamstow. Good selection of tapas items on the menu. The garlic chilli prawns are heavenly and my favourite part is mopping up the sauce at the end with chunks of bread!

Have now made countless visits to this fantastically authentic Spanish tapas restaurant. Slightly disappointed with my creme brulee on my last visit. However, the Calamares Rebozados washed down with an ice cold Alhambra never fails to satisfy.

Here I feel home... No matter how far away I live, whenever I want a cosy restaurant, where I can sip on red wine and taste delicious and creative tapas here where I go... House wine is top nudge... I'd definitely suggest olives and small little pepper plate, as well, they are definitely a must!!

Lovely food and friendly service. Nothing seemed too much trouble, from asking for the outdoor heater to pouring cream for my dessert. Definitely will be back.

Very nice restaurant with pleasant efficient staff. Food was served quickly. All dishes ordered were presented really well with a good portion size. Flavours were ok but could have done with more spice for my palette. All in all we had a lovely anniversary dinner that was definately good value for money. I have recommended to friends and will return as it is relatively local.

Went on a Tuesday night with a few friends. Food was good, we literally cleaned the plates. Atmosphere was pretty chilled and staff were friendly. I'll definitely go back.

Beautiful place that serves delicious tapas, the wine was great too. They had a separate vegetarian tapas menu, including incredible paella! Would definitely recommend.

R. K.

Delicious tapas, nice atmosphere and good wine! Loads of choice for vegetarians and vegans (but plenty to keep meat eaters happy too). I especially love the pisto manchego, lentejas, patatas bravas, alubias blancas, judias verdes and pimientos de padron.

K. A.

Great good. Seems like its pretty much the normal menu pre-COVID. Great wine selection. Staff all adhering to PPE. Will definitely be back

Quality authentic tapas, great family atmosphere, good value. Hold on........ if I give it too good a review, then it might be harder to get a table. On seconds thoughts, foods awful and its expensive, best keep away. Phew, that was a close one

We went many times and last Thursday we went to enjoy as always and we got tapas, one of them was tortilla, it was looking that not fresh and like a tortilla that have 2 day in the fridge, dry and not flavor, really a shame. I know that they can do it better.

Have been going to this restaurant since it opened and it has maintained a very good standard but on our visit last week we were a bit disappointed with the food. Chicken was just pieces of bone and the beer battered fish was very unpleasant but service very good so we will revisit and hopefully it will be back to normal high standard

Nice restaurant with authentic tasting tapas. Good service which is friendly and prompt. Pleasant interior.

If you like Spanish tapas restaurants this is a lovely place located in Walthamstow village. The dishes are delicious and the wine selection is good. As a suggestion "fried aubergines" is a must. And after all it is not very expensive.

J. H.

Lovely food great service. Always a pleasurable dining experience.

R. T.

This place has always been a cut above the average neighbourhood Tapas bar and is well worth a visit. Consistently delicious food accompanied by friendly, if sometimes rather confused service, this has been a favourite round here for a long time. Standout dish - green beans with garlic.

B. d.

Cute little place good tapas selection. Very nice tasty food

S. R.

Always a lovely meal and atmosphere! However-- while waiting in the deli area for our table I watched the lady assemble someone's cheese and cold meats on the plate with her hands. No gloves no utensils used. Not very hygenic. Was greatly disappointed to see that. Food hygiene training needed I think. Sorry.

Visited tonight for the first time, very impressed, low profile, food excellent, service and staff first class. Hopefully will visit again on our next trip to the capital. Viva Espana!!

We just had coffee but looked super lovely and coffee was good!

This place is my favourite restaurant by far the food is excellent and they have a selection of great wines defo be taking more visits with friends and family

s. s.

It was nice...but £85 for two with 7 dishes and a bottle of wine was probably too steep for the overall experience. Nothing really stood out, the calamari was like from a chippy.

J. C.

Some stuff just seems to be swimming in olive oil without much flavour but other is surprisingly tasty. Wine, bistro and a hint of Spanish authenticity definitive winners here.

J. W.

Great food, lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff

R. S.

Great food and tapas, with a good selection of wines and beers, very friendly and attentive staff, a little overpriced as you would expect from a popular venue

We came here several times to buy Spanish products and once to eat in the restaurant. The food and service at that time was great. We came back today to have some tapas and were told that although the kitchen was open and there were free tables, they didn’t accept any customers. Every single table outside of the restaurant was empty and there were several empty tables inside the restaurant. This is the strangest service I ever encountered. I gave it 4 stars for the food quality, but I don’t think we will be back.
