The room was freezing no atmosphere to match the cold room.
Choice was really poor far too little choice
Decor was nice
Food was not great very bland and overpriced

Get a decent menu and turn up the heat

Super tasty food and fast efficient and every so friendly service. Highly recommended if you're visiting Bishop Auckland Castle and Faith Centre nearby. Highly recommend Ed.

The food was excellent. We had 6 tapas dishes between 2 of us which was probably one too many. My favourite was the beetroot as it was a work of art. I also loved the fish and the croquettes dishes.
It's light and airy atmosphere with good quality glasses and crockery.
I would recommend booking but you can sit at the bar if there are no tables available.
We plan to go again as the food was so lovely.

Had lunch here and ordered several dishes. Chorizo and morcilla, chicken skewers, croquettes, calamari, mixed carrots and maybe another - can't remember - all were delicious. We had crema Catalan which was wonderful. The staff were friendly. Would return if I was ever up there again

Glorious! Fabulous food - the chorizo and black pudding is superb - charming and super speedy service, and a really remarkably good house white. The only tiny thing they could improve is the lighting - it’s a little bright and “cold” for an autumn evening - but this is trivial when everything else is so lovely. Five stars!

This was our first visit. The food was excellent - we loved every dish we tried. And the wine was very good too. We’ll definitely go back again.

Myself and a friend were visiting the town(Thurs 7th Sept) and really wanted to try the tapas...we had 2 dogs and it was a nice day. Only two tables outside which were occupied and the restaurant was completely EMPTY. We got a poor reaction to our request for a couple of chairs outside so we could order. Understand it may not have been an easy task but a little more courtesy would have been appreciated. We had to move on elsewhere. Otherwise Bishop Auckland Castle/grounds/gallery etc is magic.

We ate here a week ago Saturday, we had a table booked at 7.30. We were the last people to be seated, as there were 3 of us we ordered about 9 tapas, unfortunately from what is generally quite a limited menu 5 or 6 of the dishes we ordered were not available so in fact we had very little choice. The food is good but it came out so fast I had to ask them to slow down as everything would get cold, we felt that the kitchen just wanted to finish early The 3 stars for food was because of lack of choice not quality. Same happened with dessert, either not available or not as described on the menu, they did give us a discount so servers were great. Probably won't go back though as no real choice of food and tapas should be leisurely, not being put on your table in the space of about 5 minutes. They will not get busier unless they sort this out
Vegetarian options: Not great as so many dishes not available

Delightful tapas! Short menu plus a special option in lively, modern surroundings. Good service and reasonable value for quality food. After lunch, take in the Spanish Gallery or stroll around the walled garden at the Palace.

Very good Tapas restaurant that is on the side of the Spanish Gallery in Bishop Auckland market place. Good selection of wines and cocktails. Menu has 4 items in each section which makes easy to choose what you want. I would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area, I would advise pre booking as it can get very busy at times and walk ins were not able to get a table.
