Reviews Overview

Most Liked

The spicy beef tapas is an absolute crowd-pleaser and frequently mentioned in reviews; it's a must-try that leaves a lasting impression. Customers rave about the friendly staff who go above and beyond to create a memorable dining experience. The outdoor seating area adds to the charm, especially during sunny days, providing a pleasant ambiance for diners. Regular menu specials keep things fresh and exciting, enticing repeat visits. Many love the selection of cheeses and garlic mushrooms, which serve as perfect starters or sharable plates.

Most Disliked

Some diners mention the limited menu options, leading to a desire for more variety, especially for larger groups. A few reviews indicate long wait times during peak hours, though the warm atmosphere often compensates for that. Occasionally, guests express a preference for more extensive dessert options to round out their meals. Certain weekends might get quite busy, which can affect the speed of service, but this indicates the popularity of the place rather than poor management.

Went here for Christmas meal with my work colleagues. Fantastic food! I had the beef gravy bun with chips. Beef was lovely and chips were skin on and so tasty. The dish came with pigs in blankets (pibs) in a nod to the season. My colleagues had the pork bun which came with stuffing, chips and pibs on the side. One of our party ordered pork belly and chips from the tapas menu which was succulent with excellent crispy crackling. Some of us managed to fit in a dessert, Belgian waffles and hot chocolate fudge cake yum! All in all a lovely experience. The W&H is up for sale and we wish the owner all the best in his new venture....we will find him!

We went yesterday evening, there were 11 of us as it was mams birthday. Staff went above and beyond as they arranged all the seating so we could all sit together before we all we got there. The food was amazing and everyone said they would all go back. Staff and manager were lovely and very helpful. We had a great time.

Lovely little place!! We've just had a lovely tapas for 2. It was really busy, with a friendly bubbly atmosphere. Decor was nice and there is a lovely, cute outdoor area, which will be gorgeous when the sun is shining. The staff were so friendly and attentive. The menu is limited and there are specials which change regularly. The food was excellent. The SPICY BEEF is incredible!! The absolute star of the show. YOU MUST TRY IT 😍 Highly recommended
