    Food today was on point as always, we ate early evening and particularly enjoyed the battered fish, king prawns and calamari. Service was fantastic and we had a quiet corner to enjoy birthday celebrations. 100% will return :)

    Disappointing visit. Left to wait outside in the cold when arrived. Some of the food was poor quality, especially the sea bass. Service is friendly, but slow. We weren't offered a second drink.

    Many thanks for your recent visit and taking the time to leave your feedback. We are sorry there was a couple of minutes delay at 7pm to get you seated whilst our team were all unloading trays of drinks/food at tables, they were with you as quickly as possible. We are very sorry to hear you did not enjoy your tapas dishes and would have been more than happy to get you fresh dishes or alternatives to try. One of our serving team is brand new this week and has missed a couple of service touches there such as the second drink and spotting not 100% happy it seems, thank you for bringing to our attention so we can focus his training journey and help him with his customer focused goals. If you do have any further feedback, we'd be happy to listen so please do get in touch. Huge thanks again!

    Quirky restaurant with a lovely ambiance, great service from friendly staff. Good choice of tapas and wine, draught beer also available. Some tapas a bit pricey but overall good dining experience.

    The Bank is always a good bet for a great meal. We’ve been visiting the Bank for many years now and both food and service are always top notch. Highly recommend to those who like Spanish styled tapas dishes in a delightful setting. Thanks again The Bank Team!
