Reviews El Pulpo

We have just returned from a Saturday bottomless brunch. The food was fantastic and quickly brought up. The service was exceptional, our glasses were kept topped up, the staff were very attentive and made us feel very looked after. The ambience of the restaurant was brilliant, we can't wait to come back and do it again.

Went here last night it was amazing 3 dishes each is more then enough. Bread and olives to start was nice. Never had ox cheek before but tried it it was amazing. Defo will be going back for paelle tuesday.

This is a great place to go with your spouse or friends. I live in London and I never experienced the quality of this tapas restaurant in the capital. Octopus is the must to try plate. Felicidades al pulpo y sus trabajadores. En especial al chef

Incredible! Me and my fiancé just recently moved to Witham and we love to find little gems to dine and enjoy a nice meal at and my goodness was El Pulpo one of the best night outs I've had in a long time. We started with a pleasant and warm welcome from the team and sat right near the entrance where we could enjoy views from the chefs cooking, music playing and drinks pouring from the bar. Me and my partner were recommended to get 3 dishes each but we went for an extra dish plus an appetiser because we was very hungry haha! We've been to a few tapas places in our years of finding great places to eat, so we knew what to expect but that didn't stop the waitress from giving her humble, pleasant opinions on what type of food to recommend and what's on the chefs special list....amazing hospitality! The cheese and ham croquettes were to die for and they compliment other dishes when mixed together. I loved the pork belly, it was seasoned perfectly, soft, and the crackling was unreal. I had no complaints with all of my dishes, they were all tasty and plenty to eat, you won't be disappointed on portion size. We'd highly recommend this lovely independently run restaurant and loved it that much we have booked again for next month! Keep up the great work El Pulpo.

Finally came for dinner after I had been meaning too for months! I’d like to say I’ll be returning soon, but maybe not in as much of a hurry as I’d thought. Atmosphere was nice in each room, staff were friendly, although (like everywhere at the moment) it seemed a little understaffed. Took around 20 minutes after arriving to order drinks. After that food service picked up, we ordered a variety of items, favourites were the prawns and Iberian ham! I wouldn’t say I was blown away but maybe my choices were a bit ‘safe’. There were no drinks menu so the bill came as a bit of a shock to find out a jug of sangria was nearly £25! We wouldn’t have ordered a second had I known! All in all, had a nice meal but definitely a special treat, as the two of us spent £110, and I definitely could have eaten more! Lovely local restaurant though and staff were lovely.
