This used to be a great bar with amazing burgers. They now do a poor version of tapas style dishes.We should have realised when one of the dishes was unavailable but they had it on skewers instead that it was pre prepared and reheated on site.The duck croquette had no duck evident. The chicken and chorizo skewers were chewy and over powered by chorizo. The calamari was inedible, possibly worst I’ve ever had.Annoyingly, I asked to add a 10%, £4.50 tip as despite the food, service was ok. I realised later that this had been rounded up to just over £5, I assume as maths was easier. Disgraceful!Shame, as this place used to be so good!

Don't bother. Service is poor. Food has taken an hour and still not arrived. They don't even have all the items listed in their menu. Staff seem rushed and have a passive aggressive type attitude.

Stopped for a light lunch on Surbiton Festival Day. It was a disappointment. Firstly, the waitress had the hump about something and appeared to be taking it out on the customers. In a very 'I don't care' attitude reeled off a list of tapas items that weren't available. The remaining selection was poor. We later asked for some water, which never arrived. All I can say about the food is, they do a very poor version of tapas style dishes. Plus we were not convinced the sausages were cooked fully. Disappointing. I can't see us returning, certainly not for food. Maybe a drink.

Stopped by for Sunday brunch and sat outside at one of the tables on the pavement. Service and food was great. Would visit again.

Went for breakfast. Sat outside. Lovely young waitress took our order.she came back after a little while to apologise for delay as kitchen busy. Manager came out and served, apologised again and offered free drink as recompense. The breakfast was nicely presented and freshly cooked. Would go again

The tapas wasn't very good and I asked for the king prawn dish to be taken off the bill as they certainly weren't king prawns!! Patatas bravas weren't very good either.

Great place for breakfast. Classic breakfast dishes made well and great service at a fair price. The staff are very attentive especially when it comes to refilling the bottomless filter coffee! Highly recommended.Vegetarian options: Good variety of vegetarian breakfast options - not bland like some can be.Parking: Limited parking on street outside the restaurant, free at certain hours. St Philip’s Road Public Car Park is nearby and within a short walking distance.

Ganesh was very very rude, will not be returning

My trial shift at this place was a disaster. The owner provided minimal guidance, and after just half an hour, they rudely dismissed me for not being overly enthusiastic. I tried explaining my concern for customer privacy, but it fell on deaf ears.With my experience in high-profile catering, I was appalled by the owner's unprofessionalism and complete lack of respect. I strongly advise against this place as long as Ganesh is employed here.
Terrible trial shift! Owner gave no training, and within 30 minutes, they rudely kicked me out for not being overly excited. Tried explaining but got nowhere.Owner's unprofessionalism and disrespect are off the charts. Avoid this place while Ganesh is around.

The worst place I ever visited, food quality and services are worst. The Manager is very rude and mean Ganesh.

Lovely pub with delicious, simple food and bottomless coffee. A real sense of community. I drop by on Saturday mornings here and then, when my son rehearses. And occasionally, I bring my son over for a full English breakfast after his lesson
