Bacaro was on my list for a long time! In the middle of August we managed to go for a Sunday lunch ant it was really enjoyable! We had the beef, the lamb and the fish, everything was cooked very nicely. Very good service. We’ll be back

9 of us celebrated a 25th birthday. Front start to finish everything was just right. Greeted by our host Tilly, seated and given time for the whole group to join. Tilly have the perfect amount of attention, was great at explaining the menu and asking questions. The food was fantastic and served in a timely professional manner. Manners of all team members were spot on. Polite when bringing more dishes and apologies for interrupting. I believe the service and food was the best I have had in a long time. This was our visit, it won't be my last.

We arrived and found that our table was in the centre of the bar area which was great fun. There was a fun vibe and we were close to the live music. There were lots of staff on shift and we were served very fast. Throughout the evening the team were on hand and the food service was great. There were lots of wine options and we were pleased with our selections. We ordered lots from the taps menu, and it was delicious. The steak strips and the squid were my favourite. The live music was really good, the pianist and the singer were great. Great to have live music while you eat. Good selection of puddings. Great place for a party.

We happened upon this wonderful place on Sunday when they serve Sunday Roast only. Coming from Canada, this is a tradition not enjoyed there. It was a fantastic truly British meal. Staff great, food amazing and the very trendy, warehouse surroundings. Boarding a cruiser tomorrow, so we were very happy to experience this place.

Fabulous Italian cusine with a Spanish Tapas vibe. Very stylish venue. Packed when we were there on Saturday night. 'Small plates' are great for sharing, each the size of a large starter / small main. Quality of food is exceptional.
