   We used to love this place and were looking forward to taking the wider family to one of our favourite, local spots but this evening was disappointing all around. We had fairly poor service, food that didn’t arrive, burnt dishes and uncooked paella rice to give a few examples. To top it off the music was loud and hard to talk over and when the heaters came on I thought my head was going to get cooked! We mentioned we were not too impressed with our meal and got a couple of dishes taken off the bill but sadly the experience was bad enough to consider never going back. Shame for such a lovely spot.

   Hi Anna, Thank you for visiting us with your family recently. We are disappointed to hear that our food and service did not meet expectations. As you will know from previous visits and our many reviews, this is not our usual standard. We have passed your feedback on to our Area Manager and chefs to investigate, and our AM will be in touch with you directly. In regard to the heaters, we do turn these on in the evenings for guest comfort on our terrace, however we are able to turn these off at guests requests, as we do have many throughout the restaurant to keep others warm. Thank you for raising the issues during your visit, and allowing our team to handle these on the day. We hope that you will return soon to give us the opportunity to show you this is not our usual service. El Cerdo Team

   In good weather or not, the views are wonderful. At night there is no view! But in daylight for lunch or early supper it's amazing. Service and food always excellent.

   Food excellent, in particular the savoury dishes. Lovely to eat like this sharing smaller plates. There were seven of us and this made for an experience with lots of variety. Lovely view.

    It's been a few months since me and my husband were last at El Cerdo. The weather was lovely, the staff were friendly and attentive and the food was yummy. Great to have some live music from the wonderful Paul Moran. It was a very pleasant Mother's Day. Thanks to all at El Cerdo 🌻
