How refreshing to find this quality of food and service. The food is delicious. The best tapas I have had outside of Spain. Everything is freshly cooked to order with the best quality ingredients. Service is quick and friendly and the ambience of this cosy Spanish quarter of Stanhope is wonderful. Tucked away in a quiet corner of the village it is well worth seeking out. The bar area also has a few tables and is informal and dog friendly in this section I believe

Im reluctant to critisise a local hotel/restaurant because I think it is important to support local business, however our whole evening had an air of the faulty towers about it from the moment we booked, starting with a mix up on arrival about the number in our party, followed by the disclosure that the ice machine was broken,and the young lady who was managing to serve both the customers in the bar and take the food orders in the restaurant only knowing two dishes on the menu.Despite this she is an asset to the restaurant as she is capable, polite and able to juggle the demands of both a busy bar and a restaurant full of hungry customers.The restaurant has been redecorated and refurbished with very nice furniture, mirrors and ornaments. There is car parking to the side and rear of the hotel. I cant comment on the facilities as I didn't use them.To be fair we were served fairly promptly with a complimentary dish of prawn crackers and then the young lady came back from behind the bar and took our order.We shared a starter which was nicely cooked and nicely presented.We ordered Chicken Pad Thai (chicken noodles), which, when we eventually got them, were glutinous and bland, the chicken was very nicely cooked but the topping of crushed peanuts only added to the dryness of the dish and the accompanying mountain of refrigerated beansprouts added nothing at all.The chicken massaman curry tasted mainly of potato, which although it is one of the main ingredients, unfortunately dominated the delicate tamarind and coconut ,garlic flavours of the sauce. The Jasmine rice side dish was lovely.The young lady serving flitted between bar and restaurant without getting flustered however, despite her efforts sevice was slow.This is not a criticism, as I fully accept, if you are cooking from scratch with fresh ingredients then it will take time to serve a good meal, I really wish we could say we had a good meal. It was average.Tables filled up quite quickly while we were eating and we felt grateful we had arrived early, as by the time we were leaving there were rumblings from several other tables querying the delay in service.We decided we would go back again and try other dishes on the menu as we have eaten Thai food all over the world and it is a favourite cuisine so we would really like to find Thai dishes we can enjoy close to home.Thank you for your feedback and for the positive comments about our restaurant and our staff. You say you have eaten Thai food all over the world. Does this include Thailand?We serve only authentic Thai food. The pad Thai noodles are imported from Thailand. Pad Thai noodles are different to other noodles that you may have eaten before.In Thailand pad Thai is served with peanuts and beansprouts. You should mix everything together before eating the dish.If you don't know how to eat Thai food our Thai staff would have been happy to help if you had asked.We had a Thai lady eating in the restaurant that night who also ordered the Pad Thai.She commented that it was delicious and that it is hard to find authentic Pad Thai like this in England.The massman, panang and pad Thai are very popular here and we always get great comments. Massman curry should taste sweet, salt, sour and coconut. If you do not like ths style then you can order another thing from the menu.Yes the restaurant was busy that night with customers sitting in and also with deliveries and takeouts.As you rightly say the dishes are cooked with fresh ingredients from scratch and will take a little time to prepare. We note that you did not make any comments to our staff when you were in the restaurant.This would have given us the opportunity to help you and to educate you about Thai food.Next time you come to the restaurant please ask to talk to our chef before you order. She will be happy to help you and explain to you about Thai food.
