The Cats Whisker Kitchen

Do not go here unless you want to be spoken to like a child. Told what and how much to order. This is not tapas. Tapas is ordering dishes you like and have them in front of you, not 2 tables down, so by the time you get to your dish it’s gone, because 1 dish is made into 2 and eaten… host isn’t a host, more a bossy mare who decides on your palate… waiter over worked, drinks missing and then told off for ordering more food as our food was put to the other end of the table. Prawns were cold and menu was very limited. For a £300 plus bill I thought it was shocking. Food brought out after an age without even serving spoons. My husband waited over half a hour for a peroni and had to be reordered.Severely lacking customer service and hospitality. Will not be returning which is a shame.

First of all, the food, when it eventually arrived, was great !, especially the camembert starter. However, I thought the idea of tapas, is you order eat, order more, eat more and enjoy; not some raving lunatic from the kitchen, coming out and saying you haven 't ordered enough . She got her comeuppance with the table of 8, Quasimodo needs to understand that old people don 't eat a lot. Waiter (nice guy but overworked) was good. As a birthday treat, a bit of a bad experience, improved by the copious quantities of bubbles we drank, which was reasonably priced. Recommendstions: chef needs to go on a customer relations course, building needs decent wifi to make the water 's job easier.

This restaurant does not serve authentic tapas. The food was of poor quality and the atmosphere was awful. I have sampled tapas all over Spain and this food was unrecognizable as tapas. The patatas bravas consisted of fried day-old potatoes with tomato sauce and garlic mayo, which did not meet the standard. The prawns were not fresh, the squid was chewy, and the stewed meat was unappetizing. It was a total waste of money. The host was unwelcoming, being more like a headmistress than a friendly host. The entire place was in desperate need of a deep clean and a fresh coat of paint. The dated burgundy vinyl tablecloths had holes in them, which were also dirty and sticky. Our table was placed near the kitchen door, which they oddly referred to as a conservatory, where all we could hear was the staff chatting. This lack of atmosphere was very off-putting. Unfortunately, we will not be returning. It is a shame as we had high hopes, but were ultimately disappointed.

We had a wonderful time at this restaurant. The food was incredibly tasty and we both loved our Sunday roasts! Overall, we would rate it 5 out of 5.

Angela and her team were fantastic, and the food was excellent. They were very accommodating, and the wine we chose complemented our tapas perfectly.
