Great food, loads to choose from. Decent wine. Great service, order 2 tapas each at a time, all you can eat. I smashed 8.

An odd combination of lively pleasant atmosphere, friendly service and badly assembled low-rent pre-pack mass produced food that cannot be called Spanish tapas in any shape or form. The front of house staff deserve better than this.

How on earth does this place have 5* reviews??? It’s up there with the worst restaurant we have ever been to. You won’t even be able to convince me that anyone working here has even been to Spain on holiday.We knew we should’ve left when we sat down and they told us it was ‘all you can eat’The ‘chicken dish’ was chunks of pre cooked chicken breast in a random red sauce which definitely came from a jar.The pate was served with Jacob’s crackers… I literally could’ve popped to Morrisons up the road and grabbed this off the shelves myself.They also serve nachos and noodles……. Very Spanish! (NOT)I feel so bad writing this review because the staff were nice but my god the food is just awful I have to warm other people.

We have been here many times! Such an amazing food and the staff is always supportive and next to you,making sure you have all you need, paying attention to every detail! Such a cosy place, music is so relaxing and the restaurant is so welcoming! The food jeeps coming and coming ,so if you want to enjoy a great and tasty time, just book a table to La Fonda! Our children could even practise speaking spanish with the staff!Amazing! Definitely will come back!

This has been the best experience I have had. The food was excellent. The service was so pleasant, the people were so calm the staff was so welcoming and supportive. I would definitely recommend the food was so delicious goodly served
Food came out very very quickly after ordering! Certainly not freshly cooked or hot. A little disappointed to be honest ?

At £25.99 for an all-you-can-eat experience, my expectations weren't particularly high. However, having perused some reviews beforehand, I found the bar set surprisingly high. In the spirit of fairness, I approached the dining experience with an open mind.Starting with the first 6 plates:- Patatas bravas: 7/10 – It's hard to go wrong here, though the aioli was a tad overpowering in garlic.- Chorizo: 7/10 – A decent cut, but like the previous dish, simplicity prevailed.- 0 – Unfortunately, some were overcooked, and the sauce lacked flavor, resembling a watery puddle.- Calamari: 9/10 – These were cooked to perfection, with a delightful coating, easily the highlight of the meal.- Ribs: 6/10 – While flavorful, they were not as tender as expected, and the sauce was overly sweet, akin to a jarred variety.- Halloumi: 7/10 – Nicely cooked, though the pineapple accompaniment left me unconvinced.Moving on to the next 6 dishes:- Beef taco: 7/10 – A tasty bite indeed.- Chicken 0 – Disappointingly watery and bland.- Chicken skewer: 6/10 – Average fare.- Lamb 0 – Sadly bland and under-seasoned, resembling a tin of vegetable soup.- Chicken bites: 6/10 – Standard fare.- Sirloin and fried 0 – Poor cuts of meat with excessive fat, and the chimichurri was unbalanced, dominated by garlic with insufficient acidity.- Calamari (round 2): 9/10 – These were so good, I had to order another round.Dessert comprised chocolate cake and a cheesecake variant served with ice cream and squirty cream, earning a 6/10.As for the drinks:- Jug of sangria: Too sweet for my palate, though my partner enjoyed it.- Mojito: Similarly, overly sweet, lacking balance.Overall, I left disappointed by the food quality, especially considering the positive reviews. Would I return? Only for a dozen plates of calamari, as the great price was unfortunately reflected in the overall food quality.

Tapas nightHaving read the good comments online, we decided to try this all-you-can-eat Tapas restaurant for the first time on my wife’s birthday.The waitress gave us a warm welcome and arranged the seating that was comfortable and spacious for us. Knowing that it was our first time in this restaurant, she patiently introduced us their famous tapas buffet. We thought it was a good idea to order six dishes in one round, so that each time the food served was hot and fresh. And we can try other things on the menu in another round when we finished.We enjoyed a total of 4 rounds of tapas, yet we still haven’t tried all the items on the menu. We loved especially the calamari, seafood paella, patatas bravas, anchovies in vinegar, pescado marinado, sirloin steak, lamb stew, etc. That gave us a reason to come back next time.Knowing that it was my wife’s birthday, the waitress treated us a lovely piece of cake with ice-cream scoops. We were truly impressed by the great service and wonderful food there. That gave us another reason to come back, probably with more friends next time.Parking: At the back of restaurant

Really nice little place. Food was delicious and a really good selection available too to suite every palette. Staff were really friendly and helpful in explaining how the ordering works (basically that it's all you can eat for £25 ish)
