Expertly cured meats and imported cheeses go into the popular sharing boards, while small plate recipes include spicy lamb and serrano meatballs, and padron peppers with olive oil and sea salt. Main courses feature grass-fed 28-day aged rib eye with chimichurri, and a British classic of deep fried fish in herb beer batter with fries.

Fast friendly service the food is delicious.. I know it is "el vino" but still would expect variety in the pint beers for the sake of summer too..

The service, atmosphere and location were perfect. Like stepping back into 1960's London, but in a good way. My guests had Tapas which looked amazing and they were content, but I ate the 28 day aged steak. It was truly magnificent. Incredibly good steak with a beautiful taste, cooked very well, rare, and a perfectly matched Chimcerri sauce. Stunning, simple and memorable.
