We are getting to be regulars, it has an easy atmosphere, dog friendly and lovely food (I liked the previous menu more) and good value... would love some chilli heat on the menu. Otherwise, recommended.

Visited the Yard last night and was very disappointed with the food and certain staff.The building is quaint and in a side street in Appledore, inside is inviting, and we had a nice welcome on arrival.We ordered drinks, and they came fairly quickly, then we spoke to the waitress about the food. She advised us to order 2 dishes each and maybe a side, this we did. We also ordered the meat starter for £16.00 which we were informed was enough to share.When it arrived it had 2 meat balls on, 2 padron peppers 2 dips and some pitta bread, not very appetising at all .The waitress came to clear away and we had put our plates together for her. She told us to keep the plates as there were not enough plates to have fresh ones !I questioned this, and she gave me attitude, which in turn caused me to request clean plates for our mains, which is standard practice anywhere you go !After a minute another waitress brought fresh plates to our table, but you could tell we were being talked about.The main food comes in small tapas style, so it sort of arrives at one time, however our dirty fries arrived some time after the other dishes, so we left those.The chicken dish was most odd, and didn't taste like chicken, it tasted slimy, which concerned me. The beef skewer was rare, and my husband does not like rare meat, and we were not asked our preference, so the dog got that!The pork belly was not crispy, so a little too greasy for us, and the pasta dish was average. We had researched this restaurant and were so looking forward to the authentic flavours from the chef, however this was not apparent in any of the food. It was all bland.I was most concerned by a comment from a waiter regarding where we live. He claimed he had lived in the area however it was now 'Little india" this seemed a racial slur to me and my family, and it made us uncomfortable.The restaurant is not cheap, however the food does not match the price range, neither do the staff!!

They were amazing with my friends daughter playing with her and making her laugh they were so nice, made such a difference to our night, the food was lovely! The atmosphere was really nice, very cool, cosy place, Can't wait to return hopefully not driving so i can try the cocktails!

Service and atmosphere where great but it's not clear its a tapas restaurant. So it's very very expensive and the quality of the food doesn't justify it. End up having 2 tiny dishes and leaving to eat elsewhere.

Oh my goodness. The food is out of this world. Love every bite. Dining was tapas themed.

Managed to get a table last night for three people (didn’t expect it to be so busy for early March) and so pleased we did. We enjoyed an absolutely fantastic meal with attentive staff plus a great atmosphere. We picked couple of starters to share and then a random selection of 6 tapas. Tuna, scallops, brisket, pork belly and one other all excellent. Some very good beers.

Very disappointed no atmosphere our experience was marred by the the people at the table next to our not controlling the pack of dogs that wondered around and sniffing our food and making it difficult to enjoy our meals. We will not return.Wheelchair accessibility: None
Wonderful evening!! Food was lovely with the best service from the team - very attentive and welcoming of our little dog who loved the attention and treats. Thank you all !

Delicious tapas in a wonderful setting. Good sized portions and the primitivo wine was superb. The Mac and cheese and bap buns were excellent. Great service too and dog friendly.

A lovely brunch, great choices on the menu - traditional gammon ham, egg, bubble and squeak for Mum and Dad with BBQ beef tacos and maple syrup bacon pancakes for our daughters. Relaxed, friendly, quick service and amazing coffee. One of our regular "go to" places!
